hmm, if the segway was always meant to climb stairs, why did they cut that out of the current model? i would think that would be an important thing to many people, especially in the city. think about it, you want to buy a segway, but your apartment building has a few stairs in the front. you're not going to be able to ride up (heck, dean couldn't clear the lip on the playing field, you're not going to make it up a staircase), and you're not going to carry it up. a segway with three wheels that could climb stairs would make a huge amount of sense. the only problem i see is an increase in power needed, so either a bigger battery, or shorter run time per charge. but i think that problem is a minor thing when compared to all the benefits from a design like that.
