The Segway is based on a closed loop feedback system, and anyone who
has ever tried to implement such a system knows that the feedback
parameters have to be chosen carefully or the system is unstable.
A Segway's handles could be fitted with fingerprint sensors. Important
feedback parameters are
derived from the user's fingerprints instead
of being stored directly in the device. If the fingerprints deviate
too far from those of the legitimate owner, the feedback loop becomes
unstable, wobbling and jerking unpredictably as the thief tries to
ride away. Unable to make a clean getaway, the thief is easy to
apprehend.

Just have the controls reversed. Many pilots have crashed after having their planes annualed and being mis-rigged. |

Would seem simple to have left/right reversed and forward/backward reversed. |

A bit niche. We are all riding around on these in the UK. |

Why would anyone steal a Segway? |
|

Segways and Aztecs have one thing in common: |
|
| |
If anyone is foolish enough to leave such a thing unattended, they deserve to have it stolen and ridden to the dump. |

Somewhere, deep in this idea, is hidden the next wave. |

when i saw this thread, "segway security" made me think
of security guards at a local mall. They go around on
segways.
so those things don't turn on with a key? I don't know too
much about them. whould the fingerprint sensors be
reprogramable? If not, it could be a problem for those
security guards. otherwise each guard would need there
own segway, they couldn't have just as many as the
guards who are working at one time.
by the way, how fast can segways go? |

Bear in mind that they are not all that heavy(about 100 pounds) so a thief could just throw it over his shoulder and walk off. |
|

So the best security is the same as with a bike - chain it to something. |
