I think they might have missed the "Segway lesson". It doesn't matter how innovative the idea is, if people look or feel silly riding it, you fail.

- tempestn 12y agoI think the fact that you're actually physically exerting yourself makes up for a lot of that. It may look a bit silly, but it's still more likely to garner interest and respect than derision (unless people know how much you paid for it maybe!) With a Segway on the other hand, the silly look just gives the impression that you'll do anything to avoid having to actually use your muscles to propel yourself around.
- khc 12y agoDo you think Segway failed because people look silly riding it, or because they feel silly for spending so much on it?
