Makes sense. It should just fall over if one lets go of the bar while not on it. The minipro will try to stay upright by powering forward to get under the Handlebar. Eventually powering away faster than most people can run.
At 46 minutes into the Ironman movie, Jeff Bridges character comes riding up on a Segway i2 and steps off to walk into the reactor building. He just leaves the Segway and it stays upright and rolling forward. Tony Stark's chauffeur reaches out to catch it. I would like to see what it would do if not caught by the minions.
Power move to ride around your plant on a Segway, smoking a cigar, without a helmet and expect workers to catch the device when you hop off and walk away. Good scene for the character.
