It will be interesting to see how Dean's "human transporter" gains acceptance. From a couple articles I have read, the following is apparent:

1) The machine is electric.
2) "Average" speed is 8 mph and range is about 15 miles.
3) The machine is intended for use on sidewalks.
4) It is a gyro balancing machine and is controlled by intuitive
leaning forward and backward, etc. for steering.
5) The "footprint" of the machine with rider is about the same as
that of a pedestrian.

Yes, it will be interesting to see if people and municipalities will accept a motor-driven device on sidewalks, and if tripling the speed of pedestrians will change our way of getting around in cities. I think that is Dean's plan.
