My take is RMP is the product, as well as the technology where the new company will focus its energy, and the PT will take a back seat, and it will not be long before it is discontinued.
I'm not so sure. He is an ex-miner who was made redundant in the 1980's, that's true. He is also a (mulitple) Segway owner, enjoys them and has been very solidly supporting the push in the UK to get them legalised for public use. If he was only interested in other aspects of INC's inventory I doubt he would have thrown the money he has at continually badgering the DfT, with threats of court action, barrister's time, etc. to achieve recognition here.
