===End of production===
Only 140,000 units were sold during the lifetime of the product, and in the later years the Segway PT only made up 1.5% of total company profit.<ref name=":0" /> Factors contributing to the end of production include the price (US$5,000 at launch), and the learning curve in learning to balance on a Segway PT which has led to notable accidents involving [[Usain Bolt]], [[George W. Bush]], [[Ellen DeGeneres]], [[Ian Healy]], and Segway Inc. previous owner [[Jimi Heselden]].<ref name=":1" /> While the Segway has remained popular for security and tourism, [[Motorized scooter|electric scooters]] have been more popular for personal mobility.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />
