It has alway been viewed as a niche device.

That doesn't square with their hype about "redesigning cities" around it.

The inventors are interested in profit.

Probably so. However, in its current form I can't see it supplanting its primary competitor, the bicycle.

all valid points
remember betamax vs vhs.
My real interest is if this tech can be
transfered to other areas.

When the car was invented who could predict superhighways?
Did the wright bros. envision the 747?
Henry ford never envisioned the mustang gto.

Besides with a bicycle I have to stradle and peddle.
With the segway I stand and lean.

On a real personal level, I wish I could invest in the
company.
