The Segway Hype

In February 2003, I stated that the hype surrounding the Segway scooter was just that, hype.

At that point in time, due to the company’s inability to actually sell many of the supposed “revolutionary” scooters, Segway was looking to the government in order boost sales, or, in other words, to be a viable business enterprise.

Today I read that Segway is recalling all of the 23,500 scooters manufactured since the product first went to market in 2002.

The Segway scooter is not a revolutionary personal transportation vehicle.  It’s simply a novelty.
