Having a system trying to balance itself on two wheels is incredibly inefficient. I calculated that the costs to run a normal Segway would exceed that of a Chevy Suburban because of battery replacement cost and frequency.

For humor:

I saw this in USA Today yesterday. Points made in the article were:
  • they want / recommend a separate line like a bicycle lane for these and other urban vehicles
  • Maximum distance between battery charges: 35 miles. [comes with a built in PITA]
  • Not in the article: hard on the eyes.
