This is just weird

It seems that somebody is selling a Segway knockoff...

Hey, I'm not that surprised. For only $600 (well, $700 with shipping), mere mortals are way more likely to pick one up. The real Segway goes for $4k.

You have a point! And they say that imitation is the highest form of flattery...

If packaged correctly...people will sell anything.

It would be kind of sad if this takes away from sales of the "real" one, though.

True, but I think brand recognition will win out if the price is right.

We can hope so!
