Or at least the original self-balancing two wheel version of the product; the name will still live on in other products which use the self-balancing technology.
I still remember the insane levels of hype around this product in some corners of the Web in 2000/01 and the general disappointment at the actual reveal.
While I never expected it to become a general-use consumer product, I did think it had potential in particular niches like amusement parks, airports, large factories etc. I am a bit surprised they were not able to make it work in the long run.
I tried it once very briefly and it was a rather fun experience. Anyone here own one or use it for a long time?
