Yes, the market wasn't ready for a scooter that costs as much as a used car, has no storage capacity, barely has enough range for a short commute, and can only be used on sidewalks. For the cost of a segway I could buy a racing bicycle made entirely out of carbon fiber. Or, for half the price of a segway I could buy a very high quality commuter bike and a motorized scooter that I could drive on the road, I'd have more options, be able to travel faster and farther (with either the bike or the scooter), be able to carry things, get some exercise, and still have enough cash left over for a 40 inch 1080p LCD.

Segways never made sense as a practical means of transportation.
