My thoughts. Maybe Ginger is this:

A motorized scooter or chair that has a gyroscope(s) inside of the drive wheel(s). This way lateral stability is greatly enhanced for safety, and size and weight are reduced by putting the gyro INSIDE of the drive. That's the key.

Combining drive for propulsion, gyro for stability and torque, clutch and gearing; all inside of a single unit.
You could take this drive and then stick it on a chair or scooter. Hmmm

You could disassemble it into 2 duffle bags, and mass produce it for 2 grand.

I'll be keeping my day job since babbling does not pay that well. G
