I see it being sold on Amazon for only $1,900
Can I take it onto the trains? How long can I use one before it needs a re-charge?[/QUOTE]

I don't own a segway, but read up a little on it. On one charge, it can ride up to 24 miles (38 km).
Apparently, its speed can be set, up to 6 mph for beginners and 12 mph for standard. If I use it, I'll have to tweak it to go a little faster. Have fun.
I don't know about taking it on trains, but it'll be quite a task to get in on the elevators into the station.
Cheers!

A new segway battery is good for 40km. How long it charges. I have no idea. I dun think you need a train when you have a segway. You could feel you are flying much fun than bikes. I think it needs a number plate sooner or later. Ask LTA.

PAP means such thing is banned. you will not be able to use it.
In the west, new things are allowed, then they decide to approve or stop it later.
In PAP land, new things are automatically banned first until they decide to extend the ban or not.

aiyoh..............bro, you got so old meh ?
if run out of power mah jialat................you need to push/pull the thing somemore.............
I am seeing people in my neighbourhood getting around on electric scooters & bicycles. I think it would be useful for short trips to the market especially if you have things to carry. There is Segway model that is being used as a caddies on golf courses. If it can carry golf clubs then it should have no problems with groceries.
I don't expect them to stop increasing the cost of public transportation so maybe a Segway is a good investment.

Can ride down Mt.Faber or genting highland for fun
I think that some pedestrians are intimidated by Scooters & it has an old person image. For me a segways has a more cool image.
The vertical form factor is also more practical if you have to fit one in a tight space e.g. elevators, trains,...
Segway is probably harder to control competed to electric bicycle and normal road bike.
Movement is control by the handle on the Segway push forward it moved, pull back ward it stop.
Turning is normal like a bike..but it's rather heavy and bulky, MRT sure ban Segway?

Some people even manage to bring a shopping cart into the train
I've seen people with large prams on the trains & I mean large. Nowadays it is common to see people who need assistance to get around e.g. wheelchairs, scooters,... So why not a Segway
I think it's only a matter of time before such devices become common place.

Segway take lesser space than a baby pram, wheel chair and folding bike.... So aim sure MRT
Security will not stop u. Our.airport are using it .
