I dunno, my mother seems pretty comfortable. Maybe she'll chime in.

Most people don't have too much trouble with lateral stability. There are those who do, but it's generally not from being elderly. For some of them, the Gen 1 can help, as can a seat on a Gen 2.

I still think an attachment to help these people with a Gen 2 would be feasible. Maybe a handle to hang onto on one side, as they steer with the other?

I think it would take some experimentation to find what really works for both Segway and Glider.

Obviously, we can't have infinite voltage, or the universe would tear itself to shreds, and we wouldn't be discussing Segways.
