Seems that all of the Segways have a glitch in their programming that can cause them to suddenly go in reverse.
So anyone scheduled for a Segway tour at WDW might have to re-schedule because, until the glitch is corrected, Segway Inc. suggests that the devices not be used.

Hazard: The personal transporter can unexpectedly apply reverse torque to the wheels, which can cause a rider to fall. This can occur when the device is tilted back by the Speed Limiter and the rider comes off and then back onto the device within a short period of time.
