Very clever technology, good for you, but it doesn’t do anything that a simpler ( and cheaper) four or three wheeled vehicle would do.
It is as absurd as a self opening ball point pen. It would still write the same way a conventional pen would. If Segway offered some performance advantage over a simpler vehicle then it might justify its enormous price tag.

You know what’s more efficient? Walking. Biking would also be a good option. Yes, indeed, it may be a bit more effort, but the only fuel you’ll be burning is calories and that’s just positive for everyone. Seeing as how this vehicle doesn’t appear like it will come close to street legal, all it is replacing is healthy forms of transportation and isn’t really offering a viable, efficient model. Let’s not forget that non-lazy people who actually do walk would have to share the sidewalks with these clunky behemoths. I anticipate that this will go nowhere fast and become an even bigger flop than the Segway. And hopefully that will be the last that we’ll hear from them.

Besides the incredibly limited range and speed, it looks hideously uncomfortable, dangerous (virtually no side impact protection) and very exposed to the elements both in terms of traction and no windows. i.e. you can kiss goodbye to using this when there is even a hint of ice or snow around.

I know this is designed as a commuter vehicle, but assuming you go out of town just once every so often, you will have to own an entirely separate vehicle to do so.

Seriously GM, come up with something good-looking, and something which is not so limited to a niche market. You have gone from huge gas-guzzlers to granny-mobiles…find some midway ground because that’s where the market is!
