...were the Segways from Crieff Hydro!
Despite LB's massive advertising onslaught what mum, dad and kids want to try is something they can't fall of and don't have to pedal.
I was sharing a test area with them so was able to guage their 'attraction' close up. The young guy who was in charge was keen MTB'r but the Hydro's corporate clients prefer powered mobility aids. He was pretty skilful though.
I had odd experience of Crieff Hyrdro leaving stand for lunch and having people begging me to demo the Segways... then getting blame when all I could offer then were bikes. Some though reluctantly tried the trike and I started to get more interest. By end of day I covered around 40 plus try outs. 90% trike with crank shorteners for the smallest ones. Then the two wheeled Fuego. Least interest was in the tandem.
Some blurry pics to show the odd mix. I think though that the Scotsman have done a good event... Irene had busy time on stand and we might sell a bike if lucky.
I had lovely fast cycle back on Fuego after show - so I'm happy!
