This is everything the segway was supposed to be:

32MPH
20MI on one tank
2-3G$

Looks to expensive and fragile to take seriously. Like riders want something that can be beat up and replaced easily.

Fragile? I can not imagine that thing breaking, the real breakthrough is in the engine and gear designs. It can also support over 250lbs! I think it has great potential for military use, especially for future droids! Or even as a means to rapidly deploy reinforcements to an area. Great also for preforming patrols too! I really think this thing is incredible if it had existed a year ago I would be using it to get to my car instead of waiting for the bus!

I don't know much about future droids, but I doubt any soldier in his right mind would take this thing into a combat zone. From what I saw, the guy riding it looked like he had to give a fair bit a concentration to keep on it. So that takes away from the attention he's paying to his surroundings. Add in his overall vulnerability to... well, anything that his armor won't stop and you may as well just be on foot. Plus, when you take into account that many of the patrol casualties are caused by IED's, you have to consider how much safer it would be to stay inside an armored Humvee.

holy crap id buy it right now... if its less then 500 dollars that is..

I don't think zero means right now put it into military action, but with some further development a personal patrol vehicle may be used.

That's why you join the air force. strap yourself inside a multi-million dollar jet and watch the action from 10,000ft. Plus you get to drop 5000lbs bombs on people's heads. use the latest surveillance video technology to watch people and you don't have to worry about someone coming around a corner and unload a full clip into your FUBAR armor.
