Anyone got one?

Experiences, tips etc?

Anyone recommened where to get one? Seems to be a lot of suppliers and variations in prices

I saw one exactly like this at the weekend, a girl of probably 12-13 was on it and it seemed remarkably stable considering.

Looks like fun and I quite fancy one.

I see them regularly in london. They go at quite a pace and have a good range. It won't be long before there is a crack down though, as they're not legal here.

they do look fun -

I've messed around on Segways in the past which I loved.

The only problem now, is I need one before Sat as it is going to be a present fro someone.

Anyone know any UK suppliers? All the ones on ebay, amazon etc appear to be from abroad

A guy at work has just got one of these from here.

On eBay, do a search using item location "UK only", I can see several which despatch same day / delivery by Friday - they're about 20% more than the one in your link, but that's VAT for you, eh?

I've seen people riding/driving around London on these. Along with the adults on fold-up scooters I can't help but think they make you look a massive twonk.

Thats pretty much enything anyone does. Someone will always think it looks funny so you might as well do it anyway and ignore the 1%.

I'm not saying it should stop you buying one, just that you will look a twonk.

You don't ride a fold-up scooter do you?
