For people who think standing on a segway is too much effort. Could be fun to race these?

  or AS IT STATES.. you can use both hands freely, as for example, like an office chair.. its clearly not the effort that is the problem, its the freedom of movement that the U3X allows you to achieve..! and yes, racing these would be amusing..!

nope, made for fat americans so they have to move less of their body in order to get the body size they desire.

Could replace a walker or walking stick for people with hip problems.

  the same thing that happens when a car runs out of petrol.. or a human is hungry.. you recharge it before it breaks down.. i doubt it will just let you fall off..!

You can force people not to get fat by putting a weight limit on its use - say up to 180 lbs. But then you'd probably get discrimination lawsuits.... I can see its use for people with mobility problems - but the market would be small.

  well said.. i agree.. im not sure about the law suits though.. the Wii fit board for example has a weight limit issue, but there have been no law suits for that..?? im not really sure.. but it will definately benefit people that have mobility issues, i agree.
