It's obvious that their "vision" for this product has already failed. I remember seeing a news magazine show a couple years ago and the owner/inventor insisted that the product wouldn't be sold to the retail public until after they had large OEM, state and municipal contracts. They thought that it would take a few years before they could fulfill the demand to these entities before they could actually sell them to the public. And now they're on Amazon...hehe!

I'm amazed that 31 states have passed laws allowing you to ride those things on the sidewalk. It's not like the Segway is a conveyance for disabled people or the elderly or anything. No way should a vehicle that goes 12 mph be allowed on sidewalks. I can't wait for people to mod theirs to make em go 50 tho :)

The first time I see one of these on the highway, I'm going to run it over.

i still think these could work well, with some modding for disabled/elderly people, but the price is way out of most of their range, and as for the really lazy, how many lazy, fat people do you know with an extra $5000 laying around??

i agree that this thing isn't going to hit it's target market, watch, pretty soon these things'll be on ebay for $10,000, someone shoot me now :(

Wasn't Dean Kamen supposed to be revealing his "real" world-changing invention last week? Supposedly, the one that got all the hype and was previewed by Steve Jobs et. al was not the Segway, but another invention yet to be revealed.
