The future as imagined by humans since 1940 and until 2010 is over as we know it.

Welcome to an apocalyptic future with no segways, COVID-19 and global warming

I never had any interest in trying one out. They definitely have a stigma about them.. Now those uniwheels, on the other hand.. Those look dope.

Topic is as outdated as the Segway.

When they said they were stopping production, I just assumed they had a newer model that they would continue making, but I guess not. Hm.

Does anyone have experience with one of Segway's e-scooters? Was considering buying one (Costco has one).

Makes sense. A billion other personal use vehicles have come out in the last few years that all make the Segway obsolete.

They seem neat in isolation but couldn't stand them in crowded or touristy areas.

Rented one in San Francisco a while back and had a total blast. There's something oddly gratifying about the way it balances. But you'll never look cool on it if that's the kind of thing you care about.

Lol I mean a ton of fun things don't look cool at all so I don't care at all. Just want to give it a try.

Good riddance. Their effect extended to language with some using it as the spelling of "segue".

I took a Segway tour around an island in Florida with my wife on vacation several years ago and had fun riding it. Bummer that they're ending production. I kinda wanted one.

I remember everyone thinking they invented the hoverboard and the big reveal was a scooter. Good times.
