I'm a bit concerned about the scrapping of power assist mode, though - I imagine it's not as easy to drag a Segway up a flight of stairs in balance mode.

I'll reserve judgment on LeanSteer (I don't really like the name - it makes me think of low-fat beef), and how it supposedly makes the Segway more natural to operate, until I've had the opportunity to try it for myself.
