Dareway: A Toy’s Namesake That Says It All (video)

Back in the 80s, when I was a young buck, the toy electric SUVs were all the rage.  I fondly recall entering FAO Swartz and ogling the uber expensive vehicle.  Now, 20 something years have transpired and apparently the Segway has become the must have vehicle.  So just like my childhood a toy version has emerged called the Dareway.  Sure it’s an accident just waiting to happen, but that’s all part of the fun.  It runs on a 12v rechargeable battery and is controlled via an accelerator pedal and thumb operated directional button.  Yours for $225.
