Reappeared as Electric unicycles, which look hilarious, dangerous, and like a lot of fun.

Apparently the first e-bike was invented in 1895. So I don’t think it is accurate to give Segway too much credit in their creation. Anyway the innovation of Segway was the balance system, which e-bikes don’t need.

None of which is doing great.

E-bikes are everywhere.

There are about 70 lime bikes that commute to the square by my flat. There's definitely some ebike stuff ongoing.

more as hoverboard, onewheel etc. the e-bikes and e-scooters don't really have similar balancing mechanisms

yeah, didn't even remember those, but that's even more on point

No it didn't
