South Park beat them again
A few Weeks ago, South PArk had an episode where Mr. Garrison invented an "IT" to combat the airline industry. His "IT" had one big wheel, a balencing gyroscope and you controlled the machine through two poles that went into your mouth and anus. Only slightly more H.O.M.O-Erotic than the real thing.

To hell with this thing. They "hope" that it will "eventually" get down to the $3,000 range. WAY too much. Especially since it's illegal on a whole lot of city sidewalks.

If you pr!ck us, do we not bleed? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that the villany you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction. MOV
WUTANG is 4 the CHILDREN!
I can picture some worthwhile applications for the Segway (terrible name, though.)
Problems I see:
1 - It's too big and heavy. Where do you park it? You can't really expect to take it indoors most places, so what do you do when you get where you're going?
2 - It doesn't have enough room to carry around much stuff if you go grocery shopping or something similar. To be practical, it needs to carry a person and their paraphenalia.
3 - As has been mentioned already, it doesn't flow well with either foot traffic or motor traffic. Where's the niche?
4 - Bicycles are cheaper, healthier, and do everything this does except cost $3000 and let you not excercise.
5 - Instead of everyone spending $3000 to solve traffic problems, why not spend some money on decent public transit and bike lanes? Cheaper, easier, and proven to work.
You gett he picture.

You're having a laugh!
Reminds me of the "Sinclair C5" from 10-15 years ago.
It was meant to revolutionise modern transport.
They just aren't safe on the road, and if they are on the pavement then loads of old grannys are gonna get run over!
Piece of crap!
Apart from the fact that every time you park it, someone will try to steal it, or vandalise it.
Buy a bicycle it'll last a lot longer!

You've got to see the SouthPark version of IT
Toamonkey is right, SouthPark totally slammed this hyped up Ginger thing with a scalding parody....the SouthPark people were <starting to laugh> riding around on IT which was propelled by simultaniously sticking a pole up their butt, sucking on a rod and jerking off a lever with their hand, it was one of the funniest things I've see in a long time, we laughing histerically, IT was completely outragious!!! LMFAO
Look out for that episode, it is freaking hilarious
