How about using your legs? Then people wonder why they are fat. If you want
to carry heavy loads, a Segway is useless. If you can't use your legs, well,
a Segway is useless if you can't stand. If you want to just move fast, put
your skates on. They are cheaper.
The only possible market for such a thing is people with money to burn, poor
balance, who can stand but not walk fast. i.e. some senior citizens. But for
that it must balance by itself in a way any idiot won't fall, which doesn't
seem to be the case:
