Segway was in a sense ahead of its time and trying to create a new market segment.

The early problems were it was illegal to use them on sidewalks but also there weren't bike lanes like there are in big cities now.

It was also pretty big & heavy it didn't work for multi-modal like using it for the last mile to/from a train or bus.

So the e-mobility space got won decades later by worse, cheaper products that were smaller & lighter .. being used heavily for food delivery app drivers using them semi-legally in bike lanes. A use case that wasn't imagined in the Segway unveiling.
