Ok -- so now we've seen what Ginger is:

"Kamen's vehicle is a complex bundle of hardware and software that mimics the human body's ability to maintain its balance. Not only does it have no brakes, it also has no engine, no throttle, no gearshift and no steering wheel. And it can carry the average rider for a full day, nonstop, on only five cents' worth of electricity."
So I can see that maybe I'll drive my Segway to work instead of my car -- if I live within 10 miles of work. But who does? Would this be more like extending the 10-minute walk rule to more like 3 miles?
