I am sure it has more to do with liability concerns than anything else (those *%@!&%$& lawyers!!). Since Segway LLC has published weight limits it would not be wise to exceed those in a public demonstration. Us owners know that the machines can easily handle WAY more than the published limits.

On a side note ... I was downtown for a business dinner on Thursday evening and saw some of those "freaks". Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to go to the show - I might have tried my hand at the Segway challenge ...
