I guess most don't know, or have completely forgotten, these started out as cheap Chinese knock offs.....Got some success, Segway sued them for copyright protection and patent infringement.

Then Ninbot bought them off, and out!

It's about money, that's all.....If they can sell an inferior product and make a great profit, they will............If keeping the legacy of Segway alive and well, they will need to make a profit off the "classic" Segway....

You all should be well aware of this practice, it happens every day.....Cheap junk always wins...
