George W. Bush takes a fall for technology. Presidential Personal transportation has a few bugs. Seen here the Segway reversed direction almost dumping him on his face. Segways have now recalled 23,500 Segway Personal Transporters stating :" The personal transporter can unexpectedly apply reverse torque to the wheels, which can cause a rider to fall. This can occur when the device is tilted back by the Speed Limiter and the rider comes off and then back onto the device within a short period of time." I just wanna see Hillary Clinton , Barak Obama and John Mcain , Mitt Romney and Ron Paul all race faulty Segways, whoever crosses the finish line wins! Woot!
This recall involves all Segway PT i167, i170 and i180 ("i Series") models, the p133 ("p Series"), XT ("cross-terrain transporter"), GT ("golf transporter") and i2 models. These units were sold to consumers and commercial customers. All e167 ("e Series") models, which were sold to commercial users, also are included in this recall.
( That means that the one you bought yourself for personal use in not affectected)
