Default Redundancy? What's that?

I find it interesting that none of the copycats say anything about redundancy in their product. If they used redundant systems like the Segway, that would add considerable cost, and they'd surely list it as a selling point. Without that assurance, I wouldn't even consider riding one, let along buying one.

Since they're responding to your emails, next time ask about what safety testing they've done, and whether their product will bring you to a safe stop if a key component fails. Please let us know what they say (or don't say).
