One thing I will say, walking is good for people. You can get a bit of exercise, it seems silly to jet on a powered scooter to the gym to work out and then jet back. And you KNOW that's how some people will use this thing!

At the gym I go to, it seems like half the patrons cruise around the huge parking lot looking for a space as close to the door as possible, while there are literally hundreds of spaces available 150 feet away.

I'm guessing that "IT" is going to be really quiet with the electric motors and all the high tech design, but even though it says that if "IT" hits a pedestrian it will be like walking into someone, who walks at 17 miles per hour? If you walk out of a downtown building and can't hear "IT" coming and you don't look for it, the hit you take would be like a football hit. I have distracted cell phone talkers almost walk into me all the time in crowded downtown Boston......I smell LAWSUITS...I can see the ambulance chaser TV ads now:

"Have you been injured by the operator of a Segway. Call us and we'll get you the settlement you deserve."
