Dear Dean,
I want to begin by saying I LOVE MY SEGWAY! I'm writing because I have a couple of suggestions, but please think of them as constructive criticism designed to make the Segway EVEN BETTER.

First off, I love how my Segway magically balances all on it's own, (you don't know how many people have asked me, "how does it do that?") But I have an idea that'll make it work even better! Now, I'm no scientist, (like you!) so if I'm way off just ignore me, but what if you took the wheels and, instead of having them side by side you put them one in front of the other? That way with a little forward momentum the gyroscopic effect would magically keep the Segway upright! I know, I can hear you saying "but the Segway ALREADY stays upright, why reinvent the wheel?" But if you did it my way you wouldn't need an onboard computer which would greatly cut down the overall cost. I know you're not just a scientist but also a business entrepreneur - I'll bet this money talk has gotten your attention!

Okay bear with me, only a couple more things. Now, I'm not a cultural anthropologist, but I've noticed that on the subway most people like to sit down rather than stand up. And if you can sit on a stinky crowded dirty subway, then why not on the Segway? Only makes sense right? The money I saved you on the computer should more than make up for the cost of the seat.

One of my most awesome things that I like about my Segway is the fact that it's electric. It's pretty cool that something so great has zero emissions and is good for the environment! Well, one day I was bragging about my Segway to my friend (I know that's wrong but I can't HELP it!) and he was probably just jealous but he said something that really made me mad. He said, "How do you think they make the electricity to charge your precious Segway? Aren't you just transferring your pollution?" Gosh that made me angry, there were so many holes in his argument I didn't know where to begin. Needless to say, I put him straight - but it did get me thinking, wouldn't it be kinda fun to have a human powered Segway? That would really shut him up for good! I know, you're thinking, "human powered!? ... Yuck!!" But I have an idea where if you used a gearing system you wouldn't have to work so hard, it might even be kinda fun! And talk about saving money! Plus if the Segway had no engine then you could make it a LOT lighter (I do get kinda tired trying to get my Segway up the front steps every day, whew!)

Well, that's about it! I know sales are down a bit and maybe some of these ideas will help. I'd love to think that I help save the Segway!
Oh and here are a couple of other things I was mulling over; spooked wheels, rear rack, pannier, toe clips, headlight, sweet gloves with the fingers cut off, pegs, kickstand, and a big annual race in France. But those are just ideas, nothing concrete.

Love,
BIGGEST SEGWAY FAN EVER
