I'm wondering how feasible they really are. Where would they best be deployed? It's almost like you'd need a separate pedestrian lane for just those, like the current sidewalk and bike lane. I don't know.
Our local university TSU has some in use. Large, spread-out campus and miles of sidewalks. Steps are a problem. They are very useful in manufacturing plants, like for robotics techs, etc. to cover thousands of sq ft instead of walking. I considered a franchise a couple years back. They is potential but I was afraid of the liabilities. Now the off-road model is cool, like even for the golf course.
