The Segway was designed for people with normal (average) physical abilities.

Yes, very true system usage can be expanded on through the most elaborate rules developed in HCI over the years in the case of the Segway. However, in who's eyes is the determining factor who is "normal" or fit enough for the Seg?

On a first glance, or when I am on my Seg I may fit your stereotype of "normal". However, if you spent a day with me, you would quickly come to realize I too would fall into these engineers specified requirements.
