Segway acquired by Chinese company Ninebot
You have seen Segways, right? They bring up smiles and comments wherever they appear, as well as many a chuckle. They are quite literally the epitome of geek, but we are sure these things make quite a bit of cash.
We are sure more than one company has been eyeing Segway, but it seems one of them has taken the plunge and decided to purchase the company. The customer happens to be a competitor – Ninebot from Beijing. Yes, the Segway is Chinese now!
The sum is still unknwon, but the company conducted a press conference to share the news today, making this story as official as they get.
Opinion: China is known for its manufacturing prowess and ability to make anything more affordable. Will Segways become more accessible? Let’s hope so, because those things are quite pricey.
