Segway Owner Dies – James Heselden (Jimi Heselden) – A Segway is a battery powered device that costs more than $5,000 on average. The vehicle is able to be recharged when you are not using it and can travel a total distance of 18 miles between charges. As of right now, they are illegal to drive on the road and after the death of the owner of the company Britain Segway , while riding a Segway, we can expect that they will not be made street legal any time soon

 

When the Segway was first launched, it was built as the replacement for short transport. It runs quiet, gives off no emissions, and can travel at a high enough rate of speed to make it usable for any short distance that you would need to go.

However, shortly after the launch of the vehicle, the sales fell short of the original estimates. There are currently a total of 80,000 Segways in use around the world. The original estimate from the company was that they would be able to sell more than 40,000 of them per year.

The owner of the company, Jimi Heselden, died in a Segway crash early on Sunday. He had taken over control of the company earlier in the year. While riding the vehicle, he accidentally steered it over a 30 foot cliff and into a river while he was riding on his estate. Although the exact cause of his death is still unknown at this time, it is ironic that the man who bought the company died riding the vehicle.
