<center>The problem with using a term like running is " Speed is relative, it really depends upon your perspective" </center>
well, personally (unlike cmonkey), I don't mind stating the 12.5"mph", but I do think "running speed" is a good comparison to add as even though it can vary, relative to other comparisons (bikes, motor vehicles, walking, etc.) I think "running speed" does give you a rough perspective. I think when you say to people "running speed", they realize people can run at various speeds, but I do think it gives them the idea how fast it goes.

As Segway tries to coexist on sidewalks as an EPAMD with pedestrians, it shouldn't scare anyone to know that it goes only as fast as a pedestrian can choose to go on his own power.
