Word on the street is that it can do stairs. Now that is pretty cool.
Anyway, I do think that it would be good for certain people. Take the feature I just stated. Now imagine a grandmother who can no longer get around in her house 'cause climbing the stairs is too difficult (I know this happens - it happened to my grandparents). With this, she could at least get up them pretty easily.
Or, imagine how much easier it could make life for the elderly when they just wanna get out and do something. Browse around Wal-Mart. Get a few groceries. Someone will come up with a basket-accessory for this thing, and it's all good. They're much more practical for handicapped persons than an Amigo or other type of motorized wheelchair is.
Think of the people that currently have to use walkers to get any place. Now, they just hop on one of these and zip along to the destination. I think that would definitely be a target audience, because of the practicality for said persons.
The list goes on and on. It might not be mainstream, and it might not "change the world" how everyone is thinking... but I can see it making someone's life just a bit more live-able, and I think that's important too.
