Sure I would like a small electric scooter, but I don't see a real
advantage to Ginger versus a battery powered Razor.  Sure Ginger can
balance at low speed, but I don't need a machine to do that!  They say
it can go 12 or 18 mph, but how well does it corner at those speeds?  If
you are zipping down the sidewalk and a dog runs out in front of you,
you are still going to get a face full of gravel.  As far as I can see
Ginger in a quick stop would have to accelerate to get your feet out in
front of you so you could the decelerate at even a fraction of a G.
That would feel pretty scary, and if your knees buckle, it's all over.

Nice toy, but Transportation Revolution?  No way!
