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.

 The Police in Fernandina Beach used to use them, but as Don says they are
no longer made.  (Segways, not Police).

   Check ... think they're STILL used by cops in Daytona Beach
   during "Bike Week". They DO have their niche.
   Kinda cool tech really ... I remember there was even
   an off-road version.
