A slightly more practical version of a segway I think.

Can't see how it would be anything but a disaster under heavy breaking. Must have some massive gyroscopic (?) stabilisation to stop it piling nose first into the ground under any sort of braking force (and to keep it upright)?

I doubt you'll get much heavy braking from 10MPH top speed.

If they do start winding speeds up, I suspect they would make it tilt backwards under sustained braking to reduce the load on the gyros.
