People look silly riding them. In addition, they are rather expensive (at $5000 apiece) and most cities are not well set up for them. People and Segways don't cohabit sidewalks very well.
No. Segways are: # Slower, less comfortable, and more expensive than a bicycle. # Not maneuverable enough to go all the places you could just walking. They have the disadvantages of both and the advantages of neither, while costing way more. If anything like this becomes popular it will be electric bicycles.
Segways were invented in 2001.

Segways can be ridden at various activity centres in the UK but the use of Segways or 'Hoverboards' in public areas (including parks, pavements and roads) is illegal as they cannot meet the safety and insurance regulations that current law requires.

In New York City, the use of Segways is regulated by local laws. Segways are allowed on sidewalks and bike lanes, but not on roads or highways. Riders must be at least 16 years old and wear a helmet. Additionally, Segways are not allowed in certain areas like parks and pedestrian plazas. It is important to follow these regulations to avoid fines or penalties.
