This idea is great, however if I have to deal with two wheels, I would rather have a motorcycle because not only would it be easier to balance, but sometimes I may need to shuttle two people. This idea may be great for high school students, or the young at heart. Easy storage for the garage. Maybe if the balancing can be significantly improved maybe it might be the future of low cost transportation. Can you imagine it with a sidecar too? The side car would also need a balancing mechanism. Hmm....maybe also future third world taxi for poorer countries.
