According to media reports, climbing onto a Segway for the first time makes one feel like they have sea legs and the good thing about the scooters is that they are very difficult to fall off.
Media reports also state that the City of Johannesburg and the Department of Transport have yet to grant permission for the scooters to be used on the roads.
