Karl, Animoto-- good points.

I think it is worth pointing out that the last Gen1 fault was actually found while testing the then-unreleased x2. The code responsible for the fault was unchanged from Gen1 iSeries to Gen2, so all of the then-available Segs needed to be recalled (I can't remember if the p133 was affected.)

This does mean that all of the Super Safe™ Segways out there were actually operating with an extremely dangerous software bug for many years. All I mean to express with this, is that for all their big, hard thinking, Segway isn't perfect. As long as I never get into the unique edge case scenario that exposes these imperfections, things are fine. I don't see this being any different with a Clone. It doesn't need to be perfect, just good enough.
