Default 'Q' photo in Fortune magazine

In Fortune magazine, there is a photo of a "well-dressed hip" man riding the Rad2Go Q stand-up scooter down a street/sidewalk. A friend of mine pulled it out to show me that I could now get a Segway with a big headlight on the front.

I hope people don't start riding Qs in the public, thinking that they are covered by EPAMD laws. But even more, I hope that people don't start thinking that Qs are anything like Segways.

Q = stand-up electric scooter (a wolf in Segway-like clothing?)
Segway = self-balancing robot human transporter

As time goes on, it becomes more important to stress the difference between a stand-up scooter and a self-balancing human transporter. At least now we can pull out a picture and say "no, _this_ is a scooter, one that's trying to pretend to be a Segway."
