★ Curator’s Notes ★

The Segway was introduced as transportation that might reorganize urban life. It found a durable niche with tour groups, security guards, and people explaining the Segway. Production ended in 2020; in its final year the famous machine accounted for 1.5 percent of company revenue. The revolution remained perfectly upright.
