I predict it will flop harder than the Segway.

Wait, should I stop expecting the Segway to finally become the next big thing??

Here's to hoping Musk tries some extreme cyber trucking on a very high and dangerous cliff somewhere too.

Was the Segway a flop? I feel like they were popular with university campuses and the like.

They were supposed to change everything. When was the last time you even saw one?

Only ones without a handle, and not branded by segway.
