Interesting article (and long)
There certainly is nothing "broke down" on the Segway. It is a fantastic achievement in it's design and quality of construction.
The perceived high cost is one holdup and lawyers are probably the other. I feel that level of technology in a vehicle like the Segway is a great bargain really.
One area to save money on the Segway might be to dismiss the redundancy features such as the 2 separate motor windings and the 2 daughter board control systems that will take over if the other fails. We don't get that in ultra light aircraft or cars and motorcycles. Look how far Dean goes to insure a safe product!
Hopefully they will start marketing them through stores or dealerships where the public can see them touch them test them
and learn to trust these machines.
