The wheelhubs of the segway are full for a reason and the "feetboard" of a segway is very thick. One more thing is that the segway has a very limited autonomy. Not only must this device have a much bigger autonomy but it also has to be able to convert from seat to "stand-up" mode and that takes aditional power and motors. Where are these in the design?
Also Siemens VDO idea is admirable but the drawings I've seen show it occupying almost the entire wheel.

As I said: for now... nice drawing
