Abstract: In 2001, Dean Kamen invented Segway HT, which was to revolutionise the transport system. Designed to address the problem of pollution and congestion in urban areas and to improve the travelling efficiency of the urban populace, Segway HT was expected to be widely accepted across the globe. However, by 2003, Segway was selling much less than expected, and it remained a novelty rather than an alternative means of mass transport system.
