I still couldn't afford $125 per month. In my situation, it wouldn't save me any gas so it would just be an expensive toy.

What I found interesting is that for a little less than the price of a Segway, you can buy an old Mercedes diesel and convert it to run on waste vegetable oil, which is usually free.

EDIT: I should also say, that I have ridden the segway many times and although I can't afford it, I think it is a wonderul machine and worth every penny.
