A way of bringing up the next topic.
Speaking of the next topic, here’s an example of a segway.
That reminds me, did you know that George Bush fell off his segway because he didn’t know you were supposed to turn it on?
While we’re on the subject, have you ever ridden a segway?
Etc… those were all examples of segways.
A "segue" is a transition, a passage of text that connects one subject to another. So, if a speech were discussing Iraq and then went into the economy, it might have a segue that said, "And as long as the Iraq invasion continues, we will have less money at home, which is why our economy is now in trouble. Speaking of the economy…"
The OED only defines segue in its musical sense, but you can see the meaning: "An uninterrupted transition from one song or melody to another"
It is segue although it is pronounced as you have spelled it. It means "to follow" and in English is a smooth transition from one topic to another. The Spanish for "to follow" is segir. The expression for something which does NOT follow smoothly is the Latin non sequitur.
and it is a manner of transition–a way of bridging one subject to another.
example:
I’m talking about birds, I want to talk about a friend who copy-cats me… I might have a a story or something about a parrot to bridge the subject of birds into that of copycatting.
(It’s a generic example, I know… the real masters of segue are comedians–pay attention to how they move from one subject to the next–that would be your best example).
With the rising costs of gas all over the world, buying a cheap electric motor scooter could be a great way to save money on your transportation.
But finding a good motor scooter takes some investigation and research first. The engines are rated by the output of watts. How your scooter will handle certain loads and terrain will depend on the rating.
The electric scooters are belt or chain driven, unless they are direct drive.
They are battery powered and many scooter brands come with two or three batteries. For the most part, the power rating of an electric motor scooter is determined by the power and by the quality of the batteries that are used. Factors such as rough road or terrain, tire pressure and heavy riders or loads can cause the battery charge to be drained more quickly.
Finding a good quality electric motor scooter that fits into your budget should not be too hard. With that said, you should expect to spend at least $500 to $700 or $800 on a good scooter. This may sound like a lot of money but you will also be saving a lot of money on fuel with your electric scooter.
You can also check the auctions and local papers and places like craigslist for scooters being sold online locally.
You may just get lucky and find a scooter being sold by someone who just can't make the payments or for some other reason, needs to sell it.
Also try to find out as much as you possibly can about the used scooters history. If it has been repaired and what was the extent of the repairs or if parts have been replaced over the years. Just like buying an automobile, make sure you check out the history of the scooter and find out as much as possible about any prior damage or repairs.
