What Is The Point of Segways?

Question

They're expensive and look ridiculous. Whats the point?

Answer 1

main point is to rip off those who believe in hype crab.

I wouldn`t rely on machine that needs to be charged, and if the power went down id have to drag some 50 kilogram junk back home.

Answer 2

For rich people living in NYC. Lets them get around Manhattan, and it's quicker than taking a car. But they do look stupid.

Answer 3

Without Segways, nerds would be stationary.

Answer 4

I used on as a Golf Cart in California. It works great for that.. I had more fun on the Segway than playing golf.

Other than that, I would think warehouse work or park patrols.
