After coming down hard on Segway’s, I decided to see what
other pictures of people using them I could find. One big reason the Segway has done poorly is the expense… In 2001 they sold for about $5,000 USD.
That, more than anything else, is probably what kept it from becoming a household “consumer” product. Also in many people’s minds they developed a reputation for “dorkiness.”
See the pictures of the “tour group” and the “polo match” in my other post. I doubt pictures like that helped sell many.
But I was completely sold on one after seeing my “future wife” with a Segway.
Hell, I might even trade the Harley in on one. No, just kidding. But she can go riding with me
anytime…
