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.

cheers porphy

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.
