Why spend $5,000 on a Segway when a $200 bike can do the same damn thing? Look at the website and check out how complicated the thing is, think about how much work will need to go into repairing the thing if it breaks. Sheesh, a bike will do the same thing at a fraction of the cost and there are no batteries need -- and a bike is good for your health. Maybe people are just paying $5,000 to be lazy, I don't know.
