To be fair, the Segway documentation has plenty of "don't do's" that a Segway "can do."

I've tried this as well as multiple other alternative transportation options and nothing's as great (safe, maneuverable, comfortable) to me as the Segway.

The only thing that came close was the Xootr EX1 -- an electric kick scooter that's been discontinued for a long time.

As far as I am aware, Segway was suing for patent infringement, such as the LeanSteer concept, not "stoled" internals.

The term "such as" means "as an example", or "as ONE example". Segway had a bunch of patents around self-balancing, not just LeanSteer.

The patent infringement complaint, to which you provided a link, very clearly states which patents Segway/Ninebot believes Inventist infringed upon.
