I am a Segway owner and enjoy it immensely. It is classified in the California, USA vehicle code as a pedestrian. This means it can legally be operated anywhere a pedestrian can go with the only proviso that it must yield to pedestrians on foot. This makes it safe and legal to avoid interacting with autos and other vehicles that, frankly, pose a great threat to bicycle riders (which I also am) which exists regardless of special lanes and other rules for cycling safety. Please work with the authorities in California and other states to get the same recognition for Yike.
