What about steps? I remember when I was a paperboy and a good number of homes had steps leading to the front door where the mailbox was. I don't know how the Segway can handle even a small flight of stairs.

Also, the big caveat to the Segway right now is the liability. Basically you're putting people on a moving, powered vehicle that can travel relatively fast. The more people use a Segway on the sidewalks, the more chance there is for collisions with pedestrians. Then again, people ride their bikes on sidewalks all the time, and life goes on, so who knows?
