Japanese mini Segway “WalkCar”
My grandmother is also experiencing declining mobility. She'd probably break her hip getting on this thing, or hopping off to stop it.

The lack of movement causes bone degeneration. In the majority of broken hip cases, the hip breaks AND THEN the person falls. What your grandmother needs is to do squats and have mild but abrupt force applied to her bones.
