Oddly enough, I think scooters have achieved what Segway tried to achieve nearly 20 years ago. From the original promo video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rNw5nI_3iE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rNw5nI_3iE ): "What Henry Ford did in the century for rural America is what this device will do for city-dwellers all over this country and all over the planet. We have a solution, and it's a cost-effective, energy-effective solution, and that's a really big deal." Perhaps the missing ingredient is that we have all have smartphones, so we can rent scooters whenever and wherever. It also probably helps that scooters are cheaper than Segways.
