That is not a Segway clone. It does not attempt to do anything similar to what the Segway does, expect possibly to move.
Those piston looking things on the legs appear to be driven by DC motors. And I see nothing labeled hydraulic, just linear actuators.

This is a Segway clone. It attempts to do capitalize on Segway marketing and sell a cheap knock off. "When the Segway came out, we thought to ourselves, 'This is very interesting,'" said John Wang, president of Global Manufacture Group, Vista, Calif. "We said, we can do this, but the gyroscope technology—we didn't think people could afford it." Nor could they do it.

Legway already exists. It is a small self-balancing Lego robot created by Steve Hassenplug. When I was in high school, I was an advisor on one of the area Lego League teams that Steve worked with. He would give us his time teaching what he knew about Lego robots (which is a lot).

You do realize that Legway quote was a joke, right?

Actually, I forgot about the "Legway program" of Lego, so just blame it on the beta.
