The consumer version, which technically isn't released yet, is said to be priced around $3,000. The industrial version, which you are seeing in use already, is around $8,000.

Man runs into 6" curb on segway....he's gonna keep moving, the segway's gonna stop. He's gonna fall. Stupid guy. Smart segway.

if he was using it right he would not have fallen, there is no faults like that in the segways programming or design. i rode one, they are perfectly stable, and the consumer model is $3,000

They are very stable, it seems like you are floating along on a huge platform.
