I remember I was quite intrigued when a national news program hyped up the super secret product roll-out at the time code name Ginger. What we ended up with appears to be going the way of the EDSEL heck I suppose if your live in a big city and are a couple of miles from work the thing may be worth it. I know Honolulu needs something like the Segway but heck the spirit of Aloha would be severely tried if people were riding these in the street.
There is a book excerpt out on the making of the Segway “Human Transporter” that gives you a taste of what the book is going to be like. If anyone buys the book and wants to rid of it I’ll read it if you donate it. [HBS Working Knowledge]
