Segway... Making something easy to do easier?

The Segway was designed to be an innovative machine to provide a pleasant ride at slow speeds around semi-urban to urban areas. There is no way the Segway can travel across a mountain. The only thing I could see the Segway being useful for is elders who are able to stand, but have trouble walking. If only the Segway was for sale at a resonable price... It's priced as high as several thousands of dollars... To be able to essentially... Walk. "Hmmm I can pay $5,000 to walk? What a bargain!" The Segway is a wealthy man's choice to rub their wealth in poor people's face basically. It's speeds reach a max of under 13 miles per hour, which isn't slow, but you have to have practice. The speedy 13 miles per hour of the Seway can only be achieved by experts, which is a necessity in some states due to the fact it was classified as a vehicle which required licensing.

Basically the Segway is an overpriced machine which cost WAY too much to develop to do what a strong majority of healthy humans can already do. The Segway is the epitome of luxurious and laziness combined.
