The Segway Scooter has always been a beautiful vehicle design that was just fun to look at. Even before its growing popularity, you cannot deny the desire you had to ride a Segway Scooter when you encountered one on the street, saw it on TV, or heard about it from friends. We may try to resist its beauty or geeky factor, but the Segway has stolen our hearts and is slowly increasing its use.

What is it that makes us long for the Segway Scooter? Is it looks alone? is it the portability? is it the wonderful Segway Tours that sometimes pass us on the streets? or is it just because it is different? Whatever the reason truly is, in the end, Segway is a really cool vehicle that I would love to have.

The following is a list of 11 Really Cool Segway Scooter Concepts and Designs created for a brand, as a project or has been modified from one form to another.

So next time you run across another Segway Tour or actually get a chance to ride one, which new Segway Scooter design or concept would you pick?

gas scooters

Gas Scooters:
This type can usually be compared by engine size, drive system, tires, and cost. The advantage of this type is the ability to deliver greater speed, and power to get up a higher incline. We do not carry parts to modify the power of these engines as we feel to do so may present unknown dangers for the user. These were made and tested by the factory with a stock motor and modifying the engine in anyway may result in unknown and dangerous results, so we do not encourage this. Our basic gas model is a very nice, solid unit and priced very affordablly. Please be aware of the tire sizes and purchase according to your expected terrain. Be aware some cheaper models have a direct drive system, THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS. The direct drive means the motor wants to keep going when you wish to stop. Our design utilizes a chain drive centrifugal clutch system. What this means is the tire does not turn until the motor has reached a certain RPM. While standing still our vehicle does not try to move forward. Direct drive systems will want to keep going forward and this could be dangerous in a busy intersection.
