Segway x2 Golf Personal Transporter
Ah, the wonderful Segway. A perfect mix of precision balance and mobility. I’ve always wondered why these utilitarian vehicles never really “caught onâ€. In fact, it seems that they’re only really popular with the geek crowd. The huge price tag doesn’t help, either.
However, there is an area that is unnecessarily expensive and uses electronic people equipment. That’s right, golf! The Segway x2 Golf Personal Transporter is every golfers dream. After all, golfers are always traveling around in those carts anyway. The Segway x2 Golf is just a golf-cart built for one, with a Golf Bag Carrier Attachment. Somehow, the Segway x2 Golf is able to carry the clubs without becoming unbalanced. I’m not sure how that is possible, but the cart is also able to go over the golf green without disturbing the turf. All that, and it comes with a scorecard holder which can also hold golf balls and tees.
The Segway x2 Golf Personal Transporter should be available in the fall. No word on the price, though.
