One of the biggest problems Kamen has to face is the fact
that there's already a people transporter out there. Not only that, it costs about 1/6 to 1/5 the price of a Segway, and doesn't need to be recharged.
It's called a bicycle.
I also have some admiration for what Kamen has done. The only problem is, there's just not much need for the Segway.

I was slightly amused to see the Segway scooter
up for sale on Amazon.com.
Amazon.com states "Only two per customer during this special launch offer" - as if people are banging the doors down to get one. What's more, if you do order one (after paying a $495 deposit), you might not even get it until July 31st.

It's called a bicycle. Plus you actually get to exercise when using a bicycle.
