In this episode of Dead Tech, we revisit the Segway, a personal transporter that was once touted as a game-changer for urban mobility. Promising to revolutionize the way we move, it fell short of expectations and became more of a punchline than a success. What led to its downfall? We explore the hype, the high price tag, and the cultural missteps that turned the Segway into a symbol of tech overreach. Join us as we roll through the story of this iconic failed innovation.
