>>Kamen thinks the Segway neatly fills "the niche between walking and riding."

"Cars are great for going long distances," Kamen told a reporter from Time. "But it makes no sense at all for people in cities to use a 4,000-pound piece of metal to haul their 150-pound asses around town." <<

I live in the suburbs and I have tried to think of a single day to day scenario by which I would want to use Segway and so far come up with zilch.
