Even with the amount of time that cars have been around, there are people all around the world that have not ridden in a vehicle, or even seen one.

Yes... but 100% of Americans have. (or probably like 99.999%)
Soon... it will be the same with Segways.
At that point... it will be difficult to make money "selling rides".

Just imagine the look you'd give someone if they wanted $20 to let you drive their truck around a little.

It doesn't matter if it's a fad or not.
In a few years, the novelty will have worn off, and it'll just be another piece of modern technology we all take for granted.
