Hey Dean Kamen,

See how it just becomes a bicycle when it's discharged or broken? This is much, much closer to what we expected from the Segway.

Look again. This is pedal by wire.

If it is broken the pedals will just spin because there is no mechanical link between the pedals and the parts that make the vehicle move.
