Pretty soon you'll have motorcycles that work that way...
Yeah, but 20 MPH is way too slow for most roads... and from a cost perspective, Segway products have always been expensive. People will be much more likely to just go out and by an ATV for the same price that can go 2-3 times faster, easily.

But, this does seem cool w/ the whole balancing thing. I'm not saying I wouldn't want to have one... if it was free
