This has already been done. I would like to direct your attention to

As for all the naysayers of that would choose to walk over gliding, I still must point out the fact to you that I guarantee you would not walk 6+ miles one way each and every day for a commute. I do however know for a fact that it is very easy and tangible to complete this task on a Segway (and I often pass by traffic sitting with no where to go).
The rising obesity problem in America should not be a factor for the i2 directly, as I know that I can not have anyone of a drastic weight on my P. The Segway is now designed to allow heavier individuals than the prior Gen1, however, it still can not transport severely overweight individuals and be efficient at it's purpose.
