a cheaper Segway.. (Score 0)

i think a lot of the hate has to do with the Segway being so expensive, for doing so "little"..

it's more about a perceived elitist attitude of having enough money and not having to walk like all the peons..

if it was priced at less than 1000/each, and had Segway Dealers in WalMart, i think it would have a better chance than to be redesigned into appearing that the rider is producing more effort in its use..

if it was more affordable, i'd get one..
