[Segway] Start

Commercial Segway is very spectacular, convenient and fun vehicle. Seeing it, everybody want to try, after tying - to to have. Those who can afford it and have a need - have it, those who can not, sometimes satisfying their demand by renting :) So we decided to build our own "segway".

It's possible to virtually "take apart" this vehicle on known parts, means it's possible to build similar. Google gives many DIY projects on search words "DIY segway". There are some notable projects, like MIT's segway project. also Trevor Blackwel's Balancing Scooter. Although these projects are already old, still looking through them it's possible to define main ideas and parts and sources for the project. Also at the beginning we rented an original Segway to see how they behave. For 3 hour we tortured a poor Segway to define shapes, sizes and some basic behavior of our DIY Segway.
