Because he gave people too much credit. It had a battery charge display. IT runs on batteries. They get low, it doesn't work right. It has an onboard charger. Stop, plug it in, and be on your way.
Does your TV remote work right when the battery is low? Unbelievable. You folks are so willing to jump on the company when they're blamed for people not having common sence.
To me it's the same thing as the lady blaming McDonalds for having hot coffee that she spills on herself.

Sorry, you don't seem to recognize the FTC code that a product being resonably used has to be resonably safe.

What if you're not someplace you can stop and plug it in? The innate problem with ALL electric vehicles is refuel time, they take hours to recharge vs the minutes it takes to put gas in a car. You can't always just stop for a few hours to recharge.
When my TV remote has dead batteries it doesn't throw me from my chair or leave me stranded. Modes of transportation have to take the fueling problem into consideration, Segway didn't.
The lady that spilled coffee on herself received 2nd degree burns, the coffee was WAY too hot to be served. That's why McD's paid out, you can't be serving beverages that will give people 2nd degree burns.
