Not Nessesarily. The gyro should compensate for that and keep it upright.

As for me, I'll wait for bias ply red lines.

A hybrid segway would just add more air pollution (not that I care since I live in a small town and pollution is less common). However, this theory depends on how big the exhaust would be. If it was a medium to small exhaust, then their wouldn't be much of a problem.
