Operation of the 54.4 kg (120 lb) machine is simple, in fact it's so simple there are no controls except for an on-off switch. To go forward you simply push your body weight forward to tilt the machine. To back up, just lean back on the seat to tilt it backwards and back it goes. The farther you lean, the faster it accelerates. The gyro tells the ECU how much to accelerate and that in turn delivers the proper amount of current to the electric motors, one for each wheel.

so basically it's a Segway with a seat. ... MMM

Pretty much ... the drive and control technology in the Segway is brilliant. The packaging of the Segway is another matter. BTW, should you ever go to Augusta Regional Airport, you'll find that the line crew uses Segways to get around.
