US Postal Service To Expand Segway Testing

"Postmaster General John Potter said the post office has bought 40 of the innovative Segway devices to begin a second phase of testing in Norman, Okla., and five new locations including Memphis, Tenn., the Bronx in New York City, San Francisco, Chandler, Ariz., and a sixth, yet-to-be-determined location.Earlier this year, mail carriers tested the energy-saving scooters in Tampa, Fla., and Concord, N.H., near the Segway company's headquarters in Manchester, N.H.The successful tests were conducted with machines provided at no cost. The Postal Service is paying an undisclosed amount for the new machines."
