I wish this wasn't marketed as a 'personal transportation' device, but rather as what it is, an improved wheelchair.
Having said that, it is also important not to ignore the foundation of the Segway came from iBot, which was a wheelchair designed by Dean Kaman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBOT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBOT, It was not a commercial success. Maybe it was too early and the market wasn't ready, or maybe there isn't a large enough market to support this type of device (which would be a shame).
Best of luck in this endeavor, I hope to hear about your success in the future.
