I wonder how good a bank-robbery getaway vehicle
a Segway would be?
I guess it would be pretty identifiable.
And it wouldn't provide much protection in
the case of a shootout a la Bonnie & Clyde.
And the battery would likely peter out at
a critical moment. Just before the dye pack
in the money sack explodes.
