> is that it didn't solve any real problem Perhaps beyond that in that the Segway ran into the same systemic and structural problems that people that use traditional active transportation devices like bicycles and scooters ran into: the cities don't have safe infrastructure. The big problem is that while building safe infrastructure for Segways, scooters and bicycles is pretty cheap and well worthwhile, because it would effectively require taking road space away from exclusive car use, there's an enormous well funded political lobby that will turn out to quash any efforts. Doesn't help that for some bizarre reason transportation choice has also been politicized so it's even a partisan reflex to oppose such things too.
