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.

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
