1. It isn't that fast. That makes it a no-go for suburbs/rural areas. 2. It doesn't really fit in a bike lane, or on the sidewalk, or on the road. That makes it harder to get around cities on one. 3. Standing? That's for bipeds! But seriously, it's a less preferable way to travel when compared to sitting for most people. 4. Range. 15-25 miles isn't a great range on a 10 hour charge. You can't count on 25 miles given that you don't want to abandon it by the roadside and the charge time is too long. That's for the i Series. The p Series is capable of 6-10 miles. I live very close to my work, but at about 4 miles, I'd be at risk of having a p Series die on me (given the round trip). Eh, maybe I could plug it in at work. Suffice it to say, range is a problem. 5. It's expensive. You could get a nice motor scooter where you could sit down, drive on the road, get to speeds of 30mph, etc. for less money. Plus, while they don't use much gas, many do run on it and therefore you have the opportunity to refuel in seconds rather than hours. I thought the iBot wheelchair was amazing and it was really sad to see it discontinued, but the Segway doesn't offer much. Sure, the gyroscopic stabilization is awesome, but (partly due to how things are laid out) it doesn't offer a better experience than cars, scooters, bikes or walking for most people. A bike is cheap. A scooter will let you use local roads much like a car. A car is great as a fast/long distance vehicle. Walking works best in close quarters. And the segway, while cool, just doesn't hit the right spot except in a few occasions.
