Hi spliff, good to see you here.
Obviously I agree that the Segway will be a help to some people with disabilities. I don't remember the "mobility device" as part of it's name, but perhaps I missed that. I do remember it being referred to that way before.
I also believe Segway will have many applications as an alternative transportation device. Taking the place of cars and other such vehicles for a lot of short trip applications. Eventually, if/when the Stirling engine is adapted to it to keep the battery charged, it should also be able to perform well on trips around cities and local areas, where the travel may be in excess of the current limited milage. At that time it's range should be limited only by the amount of fuel onboard.
