My dad and I rented one in San Diego a decade ago - the were a lot
of fun and easy to use.

 I heard somewhere that Segway machines are no longer being made. Their
inventor, Dean Kamen, thought they would revolutionize people transport
in crowded urban areas, but that really didn't work out. When we have
traveled, I have seen groups of people riding them on guided tours
around touristy areas.

   Tiny cheap/rentable e-bikes were the ultimate solution
   to that equation.
   But they didn't envision that 25 years ago.
   Prob - the cheap e-bikes/scooters tend to EXPLODE
   in flames inside yer apartment and kill everyone ....
