The Segway hasn’t delivered on its initial promise, to put it mildly. There are several reasons why, but one is that people don’t want to be seen riding them. Someone riding a Segway looks like a dork.

As someone who just rented a Segway and ride through Vail…. Didn’t feel like the coolest person in town.
