There’s a good case for this

I think the lack of being able to carry things, and the importance of that, cannot be overstated

Especially at the time when the Segway was being introduced, 50% of the population could not buy clothing with pockets that would hold a wallet

How do you carry your purse on that thing? Let alone your child and a couple bags of groceries?

And, if the thing had a reasonable range, what percentage of people are comfortable standing up all the way across town?

Scooters came in after messenger bags, which is a big deal. Many of them have baskets on the front. You can put one bag of groceries, although probably not two, on the platform between your feet. I wouldn't recommend putting a baby there...
