Remember when they were unveiled on Good Morning America and we were told they would totally revolutionize how cities are built?

Those hoverboard things still going? They were like a Segway. Only less safe.

I thought they stopped making them years ago.

You were able to rent them in some tourist cities. They used to be in Washington D.C. but I haven't been there in 10 years.

I never understood who they were for? People with limited mobility? Lazy people who don't want to walk?

The handwriting was sorta on the wall when the guy who bought the company accidentally rode one off a cliff and killed himself. Can you imagine what would have happened if the USPS had put all the letter carriers on one? They'd be hemorrhaging even more cash after they all went out on permanent disability.

It was an interesting idea but the demand they thought existed....well, didn't.

They were the Concorde of ground transportation.

The way forward is called "walking."

Yes indeed, we too use "cookies." Take a look at our privacy/terms or if you just want to see the damn site without all this bureaucratic nonsense, click ACCEPT. Otherwise, you'll just have to find some other site for your pointless bitchery needs.
