Re: Not to pop Dean's bubble, but...

If you do some research into the Segway, you will notice that much of the physical device is easily duplicated. Much of it also can be purchased, or a close to item to use on a "home made" scooter. Though the technology that is highly secret and protected by the Segway company is the firmware and software which runs the Segway. Same goes for the iBot wheelchair. You can duplicate the physical but you cant duplicate the logic. Theres also patents on the Dynamic Stabilization idea so i highly doubt you'll be seeing any professional competition in the future any time soon.
