Preface:
I love my new toy but…
One of the first things we hear new Segway
®
owners
comment about regarding their new PTs is the instability of
the parking stand. $54.00 seems like a small price to pay to
be able to leave their PT parked upright almost anywhere
but people are afraid to use it. Using the stock parking stand,
a Segway
®
cannot be parked on a sloped or uneven surface.
Owners have to be watchful not to lean against it for fear of
knocking it over. They are constantly looking back over their
shoulders to be sure a gust of wind is not about to send their
Segway
®
crashing to the ground.
After doing some research on some popular Segway
®
internet forums, we found that the displeasure with the
Segway
®
brand parking stand has become an epidemic.
Something has to be done…
Owners have few aftermarket parking stand options. Some
stands require modification to the Segway
®
, some are too
costly, and some are unsightly. We believe there is a
genuine sense of pride that comes with owning a Segway
®
and most owners are not about to make extensive
alterations to what we would consider to be an otherwise
perfect machine.
After much research, several prototypes, and a month of use
on a Segway
®
tour fleet, we can now offer a parking stand
solution which offers superior performance, superb
aesthetics, and minimal cost. We call it the ‘SteadiStand’.
Let’s share it with the world…
At the suggestion of our local Segway
®
dealer, we decided
to make the SteadiStand available to Segway
®
owners
throughout the world through direct sales on our website as
well as through participating Segway
®
dealers. The
SteadiStand is so simple, easy to install and use, and works
so well- it seemed unfair to keep it to ourselves.
