Segway will always be tainted for me by the hyperbole that surrounded its launch. "Steve Jobs, Apple's co-founder, predicted that in future cities would be designed around the device" This was said before any of us knew what 'Ginger' was due to the secrecy surrounding it and its marketing hype. In this context, it is a failure. I've barely ever even seen one of the things in the wild, and certainly haven't seen any cities redesigned for the Segway.
