The Seqway???? at number one???

This thing is a brilliant piece of engineering- they just marketted it stupidly.

At $6K (10 years ago) it was like $12K now... stupid price

If they had come out with a mass-produced version at $999 they would have sold millions of them

Dean Kamen is a genius inventor

Yeah-—business model was bad.

Segway had a tip-proof GPS—until GWB mounted one.

Ironically, the wealthy investor who bought the idea from Kamen steered himself over a cliff to his death on a rocky path on his estate-—didn’t know it was used safely only on flat surfaces.

Once the wheel leaves the ground——disaster.
