Segway Grand Prix

I know the C5 got beat by it on the gadget show :D , but while on holiday in Gt. Yarmouth, we came accross this :

Didn't get to have a go , but it looked like a lot of fun. charging between £4 - £6 for 6 laps.

Wonder if a C5 grand prix would take off  :D :D

Hey I saw that when we were in yarmouth. I didn't think it was worth £4 for it though. Saying that, I did enjoy the kiddie rides next to it (electric cars) for £1 a go :) :)

As daft as it sounds - I think the C5 is better, it looks cooler, goes faster, its legal to use & cheeper. 

I guess I'm lazy too, and would rather ride to work on my *pardon my French* than have to stand - lol

I agree that the Gadget Show made the wrong choice, but having tried a Segway I have to concede they are also a lot of fun.

Umpa is right though, I also still prefer to own a C5 coz I simply couldn't afford to buy and run a Segway - let alone find somewhere to use the thing.

Those electric cars were great fun, although my 6 year old son kept beating me on them every time we had a race  :D :D
Best bet, stick to the Smart Cars ... the racing cars were just too slow  :D :D

There are some incriminating photos and videos of me on the electric cars (with my 1 year old son I might add) of us being pushed around by a friend of ours for a whole lap! Hilarious!
