Say buh, bye to the Segway!
If you are a fan of Paul Blart, comfort him because he is somewhere crying right now. The company that makes Segway scooters just announced they’re going to stop production, 19 years after they debuted.
The first Segway PT model came out in 2001. (It stands for “Personal Transporter.”) And everyone wanted one, but the $5,000 price tag was a little steep and they were a little hard to ride. So in two decades, they only sold 140,000 of them. Mostly to cops and private security firms.
Segway’s parent company will still make smaller self-balancing scooters that are cheaper and easier to ride. But the original Segway that we know and love won’t be manufactured after July 15th.
