Man builds DIY Segway for $434, begins casting ‘Arrested Development’ fan film (video)

Here is Petter Forsberg. He’s much like you or me, with one important difference: he built his own Segway for €300 ($434). Granted, it doesn’t look quite as slick as Dean Kamen’s off-the-shelf self-balancing electric vehicle, but when the videos are to be believed (and there are many hi-def ones to make a choice from), the 2-wheeler moves pretty much, particularly when spinning atop old stone structures or beneath a Swedish flag. Forsberg has a breakdown of the project over on his page, that you may find within the source link — but be sure you take a look at the video below before heading over. It is not the 1st DIY Segway we have seen, but darn if it doesn’t make us desire to find some electric scooters to rip apart.
