No more Broken Segway Kickstands - Segway of Oakland Offers Worlds only Unbreakable Kickstand
Segway of Oakland is world-renowned for selling unique after-market Segway HT accessories and creating slick customized models no one else could even dream of, let alone usher into reality.
(PRWEB) June 15, 2005 -- The Segway rental and sales dealership located at 212 International Blvd. near Lake Merritt in Oakland uses a combined 12 years of Segway experience and knowledge to surprise the nation and the world with its latest designs, such as the Heavy Hauler, Segway Polo Master, OT and EMT models. The Polo Master gained attention in a recently televised Bay Area Fox News segment, while the EMT model has appeared in publications and websites from as far away as Europe and South Africa.
Possibly the most sought-after item in the cool, ‘after-market accessories category is Segway of Oaklands Unbreakable Kickstand, made of pure, high-quality aluminum and designed by a former professional welder with Nasa Aimes.
Ask any Segway owner about the stock kickstand and how often it breaks," said Segway of Oakland partner, Steve Steinberg. The stock kickstand cannot support any additional weight, including cargo and handlebar bags, and it cannot handle the weight of a driver standing on the deck. Our rental units have the stock kickstand and people often break them so we have to charge $49 for replacement.
We have discovered through servicing Segway HTs that the broken kickstand is the No. 1 replacement part," he added. We thought we could do better."
Segway of Oaklands new Unbreakable Kickstand is guaranteed to withstand the toughest punishment and heaviest payloads. It utilizes a push-button system of shafts, similar to a medical-grade aluminum crutch, and it will not bend or break, even with hundreds of pounds of added weight.
The Unbreakable Kickstand is much better suited to the rigors of Segway usage than the stock kickstand," said Segway of Oakland partner, Darren Romar. It can handle the weight of a rider and also support the Segway in balance mode without moving forward."
The Unbreakable Kickstand features three positions: Level, to support a carrying system on the front of the machine such as a toolbox or tray; Raised, so no one can step on the platform accidentally; and an additional position for the Segway p-Series so it will function with that smaller model.
This item already comes standard on the Heavy Hauler and EMT customized models so they can handle the extra weight," Steinberg said.
The Unbreakable Kickstand retails for $98 only through Segway of Oakland and includes all mounting hardware and accessories needed for easy, at-home installation. The item is shipped in one to two business days via DHL. Contact the company (www.segwayofoakland.com; (800) 659-8731) for more information or to order.
