I don't think it's correct to assume from this that the Segway as we know it is dead.

All this article says is that the New Hampshire plant is shutting down, and that the Segway PT is being discontinued.

However, the majority of Segways are manufactured in China by Ninebot.

Will the i2 SE, x2 SE, and police branded models be discontinued as well? It seems unlikely.

I personally was introduced to self-balancing vehicles through the Solowheel, invented by Shane Chen of Camas WA. (Also the inventor of the hoverboard), and never thought the Segway was a particularly attractive proposition.

It looks like a bunch of outlets are picking this up and repeating it under headlines like "Segway is dead". Bit of a PR nightmare.
