Too expensive and they got completely upstaged by cheap hoverboards using essentially the same technology.
- kd5bjo 6y agoThe hoverboards don’t use the same technology, which is what allows them to be so cheap. My understanding is that they effectively replace the electronic feedback control system of the segway with the user’s biological one.
- sudosysgen 6y agoNo, they do indeed use the same technology. They have an accelerator fed into a micro-controller that provides the exact wheel torque necessary to prevent the user. Which is exactly how a Segway works.
