I typed in "ibot wheelchair" in metacrawler.com and found a bunch of stuff.
Go try it.

Kamen has already driven one from the Metro in Paris up to the top of the
Eiffel Tower I think. Via the stairs.

They will not be on sale until at least later this year when the government
decides that the average person can handle it. Don't complain, it's for your
own good.
