Marty, (Or is this really Lee Iacocca plugging his electric bike??) <<Until the wheels are 26" and they have suspension, there is no way this will go where mountain bikes go. It would have to be able to climb stairs first, and then be able to handle the wear and tear.>> Did you see GMA this morning? Segway might not go on every mountain bike trail, and it might not go as fast, but it can negotiate an ordinary city curb and, from what I saw, seems to have a suspension of sorts. The wheels appear to be about 16" and Kamen has patents on a version that does climb stairs. In addition there's a uniball version in the works that I'm sure could take a mountain trail with minimal portage and no suspension needed. Anything else?
