World class Marathoners can average 4:45 per mile- it would make an interesting race.

It can be said that the "value proposition" of a Segway is that it is an "electric pedestrian", or electriped. It distinguishes itself most from other devices in its ability to coexist with pedestrians. I would define "electriped" characteristics as:
