Scooter givaway san deigo 3-6-13

[amac1680]

Ok that was a shameless way to get attention. We are giving away scooters just not what you expected .



My organization , Segs4Vets, will be in San Diego next week awarding Segways to approximately 50 severely wounded service men and women.

please take a moment to view this video.



The presentation will be on the deck of the Midway on Wednesday march 6th.


All are welcome to attend. We will also be around town doing training so if you see us stop and say hello to theses heroes.

As a person who uses a Segway every day I understand first hand how this machine can help these fearless men and women move forward and live happy productive lives.

More can be found at www.Segs4Vets.org.

Thanks for the kind words.

The power that drives our organization is the unwavering support of our volunteers and benefactors across the nation. We operate with two paid employees and all the rest is done by volunteers.

I've been blessed to have been a part of this from the start and to work with these young men and woman has been uplifting.

Hank you asked so I'll provide a link.

I looked at the Kennedy center site and that's wonderful work being done. So many of the guys I deal with have TBI, PTSD etc. don't know what's harder. At least my side is mechanical, the brains so much tougher to deal with. I wish all those working there nothing but the best.

The Segway is not classified as a moped. Laws vary from state to state but none have it in the moped category.

Florida like many other states uses the term "Electric personal assistive mobility devices" that are in a class sepperate from mopeds, bicycles and motor vehicles. Although a state law may allow its use local law can superceed.

But once the Segway is used by a person with a disability it falls under the definition in the ADA, "other mobility device".

The definition of a scooter is much more vague. Most definitions for "scooter" start with the line "a child's toy". Then goes on to cover everything from a kids kick scooter to a Silverwing.

So is a Segway a scooter ? By definition well......maybe.
Legally it is neither scooter or moped.
