I agree, if you are building your own to learn about solid state gyros and PID loops, a single point system is fine
if you do this, make sure you wear a helmet when you ride it, and skateboard gloves so your hands dont hit the pavement when you fall.
When you fall! Single point system => single point failures => total loss of functionality!
the segway is designed to be foolproof, so that even the leaders of great nations can ride them with ease
your SeGwAy-X can be a little more..... uhmmmm... interesting to ride, if you are not going to let your grandmother use it in the mall.
