I think its got potential, but not in that form or speed. I would however expect Toyota or Sony to have something better than this.

In its current state, size, etc., I don't see it even interfereing with Segway at all. What if they were to put larger diameter wheels on it and got greater speed as well as mileage with them, Would you want one then? Would it interfere, maybe...

I agree in its current state it is not a threat to Segway. But perhaps being Segway is now public they could or would introduce a competitor (wingnut) just to drive Segways price down and if they too own stock it means more money for them as well, eh?

I still don't think I could trust a hands free model, bump, "ouch", what happened? At least with the handlebars you got something to hang onto even if it goes down with you.
