They are pretty cool; however, there are not the congestion cure-all that they were initially billed as. I would have to say that in many situations a good bike is a whole lot more efficient and practical. (Not to mention cheaper.) In a very large building like a warehouse where space is at a premium when it comes to parking I believe a Seqway would shine. On a very large open air campus I'd take a bike (maybe something like a new production Raleigh Twenty if such a critter would happen) that has a quick adjustable seat post and stem that rapidly configurable for different people.
