Yeah now lets see it climb a uncatergerized climb in the TDF at the speeds the men on those bikes do.

I want to see it going full speed downhill!
It looks cool, but what is it really suited for? Max speed of 6km/h is like brisk walking pace. Using it a lot looks more like a way to really end up with no leg muscles and no everyday fitness at all, and at the same time you are actually slower than walking fast. :DL

Yeah, ban those Sagways!

I assume the thing is mainly for demonstarting that it could be done what it does. Value I see in big offices eventually, and even more in robotics.
