Why would NASA segways? Don't get me wrong I think they are just expensive complex mopeds but why OK for the scruts but not the drovers?

I simply can't by at the track without a bike. I just use bicycle. Last event our paddock was pretty spread out and it was long bike ride from where I was paddocked to the grid. It took 3 min on bike or 10 min walking. There is anohter 944 guy that has an electric scooter. The onles that look like regular road scooters, but this is electric. The down side is you run out of battery power.
The alternative is this electric go-ped with a seat. (second photo)

I've had:
a razor scooter - too much work
a bladez electric scooter - battery always ran out at the wrong time
Yamaha zuma - almost sold it to go back to a bicycle that I could just throw in the truck bed, but it's really convenient. Holds 2, can carry a fuel jugs, clothes/towel to the shower. And, it's quiet. Very nice over the bike for atlanta and sebring
