Test Drive: Project PUMA [Update]

imgp7718

Here’s a quick video I took on my BlackBerry of the PUMA in action. To recap – the PUMA is a two-wheeled Segway that can drive up to 35 miles on a single charge (35 cents per charge) and is capable of going up to 35MPH. Oh, I just overheard one of the higher ups say that PUMA will have a beefed up suspension to handle rough terrain like NYC’s pothole riddled streets. Check back later for a video of our very own test drive. I fear for my life. Heh.

It was a bit windy earlier so you might want to turn down your speakers. The second video has some commentary from the Segway rep, though.

And here’s the official video from Segway.
