Run for your lives criminals, the Segway-riding Chinese Special Forces are here!
As the price of gas surges every day, people are trying to come up with alternatives and for the Chinese military, one of them is the Segway. During an exercise that took place in Jinan, China, the giro-engine-powered vehicles were used to fight of criminals. I was surprised when I saw the photos, I even thought it was silly, but then I did some research and found out that policemen in several US cities use Segways instead of police cars and they are pretty happy with them. It makes sense if you think about it, Segways are a lot smaller,they fit through tight spaces and they reach speeds of up to 12 miles per hour.
So i for one won’t be surprised if I start seeing Segway-riding policemen on the streets of my city in a few years.

The segways look positively preposterous if you ask me. And 12 mph max? We cant be cheap when it comes down to life and death missions. If they have to pull out a gun, they shouldn’t be riding a segway.

Really. Is this a joke? If it isn’t the Segway marketing people have pulled off the
best marketing coup EVER.
To think that they sat around laughingly saying ” Now
we should sell it to cops, yeah.” and the boss says ” Jimmy , you speak the language, go for it –try China first.” So, Jimmy comes back and they are laughing
themselves STOOPID. Especially after seeing the photos.
