But a bike is cheap , a Segway is expencive and where would you park it?

Disneyland, Florida !

Saw a few in Florida while on vacation. Heard they had a problem with people falling on their face when the batteries went dead without warning. I guess I wouldn't want to chance that much money being safe with a bike padalock outside and it would be heavy to lug around with you.

It is a Very interesting concept
I think everyone should agree with that

but it just isnt it's time yet

so lets stick to the bike

or even better the crazy fold up scooters ^_^

and am I the only one who thinks that is a silly name for a devise?

"the human transporter" lol
call it something cooler then that

like the 2 wheel tricycle XD
