It's a pretty useless invention anyways, but I don't think a third wheel would work. Funny as hell, regardless.

Maddox is not funny and his website sucks.
I agree. A third wheel? The segway isnt meant to have a third wheel. Its controlled by leaning. I think hes mad cuz he aint cashing in...just being a hater.Quote:

Yeah, the only way you could possibly find that article funny is if you are completely ignorant. Like he sits there and makes fun of gyroscopes and scientists and such like their all just a bunch of retarded geeks. Oooh, that’s real funny. Maybe next he will make fun of gamers because all we do is sit around and play Pokemon!
Just because he doesn’t understand/find fascinating the technology behind the Segway doesn't mean a rant on it is funny. Granted I think the Segway is still a pretty silly idea, but let’s get serious for a minute here, making fun of it is pretty old hat by now. It took him this long to think of a third wheel joke?
I dunno, I poked around his site and there's some hilarious shit on there. The Segway piece isn't nearly the best humor on there. Thanks for the link. =D
Its not that he is realy making fun of science and gyroscopes and such;Quote:

Sure he comes off as an arrogant bastard, but he has a point doesnt he. :nod:
No because like other people said the third wheel will limit what the thing can do quite a bit.
The fact is that the Segway is a pretty neat piece of engineering, sure its overpriced and Dean Kamen is an arrogant cack but its a pretty nice device... nobody's gonna redesign cities to take advantage of it but its pretty cool.
Maddox can shut the fuck up.
But balance is what an gyroscope is designed to be used for! Seriously, its only purpose is to maintain equalibrium of something.Quote:

That will get you over bumpy terrain :lol:
Seriously though.....Ill wait till the thing can go a little faster, and gets a little cheaper. Untill then:
Third wheel!
*Runs away*
Maddox has never been funny, and he never will be.
Sometimes you stumble across a humour website that has a few very witty people cranking out very clever things... This is not one of those sites. He yells a lot about things he doesn't appear to know too much about.
