I am flabbergasted that I have seen Segways driving around for years with tourists on them, and not for one second I have ever thought this technology could be of such importance of parallized people. I hope they succeed.

Theyve been around for quite a few years to be honest, Segways have also been used for all sorts, Go-Karts, Trikes, Even ride on shopping trollies in some parts of europe for the elderly and people with health problems, Anything that already has wheels can pretty much have a segway incorporated onto it with the correct ingenuity.

@@spicekid2582 how is it they each get 5% of the whole business, they already sell two a month via word of mouth and their like 15-17k. So without improvement (which the dragons would obviously cause due to their investment) that’s 300k plus a year, I think they said they make about 5k per each unit in profit, so sticking to the just 2 their currently selling a month, that’s 120k profit a year. 5% is 6k each.that’s half their investment back in one year without improving the business. Obviously with the dragons getting them a warehouse etc their sales would be a lot more. So yes it is worth it

WOW. I live in New Zealand and hadn't heard about this. I'd have been interested enough to get involved financially. However, the points raised by Peter(?) at the beginning are valid. These two guys are essentially just ordering "parts/functions" from two sources and jigsawing them together. I'd want to buy the patant or whatever from the "Inventor". The self balancing tech from China is available from a number of different sources. EG Look at all those EV Scooters, Skateboards and Bikes and others who also have similar tech. That total cost of 7,000 and 5,000 is just too much. Should be half, at least. I mean, what's to stop me going direct to the Inventor and buying their product? Then cutting off the English operation once the Contract is up and launching my own? NOTE WELL: I love the end product. My partner would have enjoyed it before, sadly, she passed away from MS complications. If only I had known about it!

They are based down in Otaki, on the Kapiti Coast. I remember they got a decent start up loan From Shane Jones's PGF, a few years ago. On a side note I have a feeling the big cost of the chairs is due to them paying licensing fees to 'Segway'
