Exclusive: Segway, the most hyped invention since the Macintosh, ends production

quote [ The Segway brand will no longer make its two-wheeled, self-balancing namesake. ]

It's over! Keep your balance. Also, sorry for delaying this message for a full month.

My wife worked on the design of the segway. It was such a weird thing, Dean was a really nice guy who before this invented a wheelchair that allowed people to be at eye level with other people. It was John Doerr and that South Park episode that gave this thing way more hype than was wanted. Such a weird two years that was.

I feel like it was just a huge failure in terms of price. If it had been in "quality bike" territory instead of "crappy car", it might have done well.
