I’ve seen these Electric Chariot things, and they are junk. The makers - and those who promote them - are pulling a fast one, trying to make a quick buck on the popularity of Segways, but they have only succeeded in making a cheap and dangerous toy. Segway spent millions engineering a sophisticated tool that outperforms it’s own rigid standards every time. I use mine instead of a car. It is an extremely effective mode of transportation - and I save $hundreds$ while doing it. Using the cheap version, this Chariot, won’t get you anywhere. One curb ought to be enough to tip you onto your face. Don’t be fooled!!!

I am a college student and recently purchased an electric human transporter for about $700 and it’s the best money I spent. I live about 2 miles from my school and it’s long to walk and too close the drive. I don’t pay for parking. While the real segway goes for about $3000, the electric human transporter is less than a third. No way a normal consumer can afford that. Functionality is all I care if it’s this cheap. I use it all the time and it’s pretty safe. Speed, distance, weight capacity, charging time is very close to the segway.
