Standing on the top deck, standing in an exposed standing room, standing in 'enclosed' standing room without top armor. > If you assume the handle bar is part of the segway proper, then arguably > we have a case of open frame armour.

Good point. > Don't know if it is handled that way in Vehicles, but the steering wheels > of sailing ships are often operated while standing. One exposed, normal crew station (not "seat") and one exposed, normal standing room are 30 cf. Add a bit for ducted fans and contragrav and the vehicle is 75 cf. Drag 100, thrust 40, top speed 55 mph. Or should it be three people?
