Segway. In New Hampshire. Product is also known as "Ginger" (its code name).
Superb engineering, poor sales, misaligned vision. Too bad. If you're interested in the subject, there is a brillianty written book titled "Code name Ginger" that came out in 2003. A must read.

Segway.
From the subject, I thought it was going to be a question about 2-wheel cars - 2-wheels longitudinally that is - of which there have been a few :-)

Yes, love it, have you seen the gyro train they ran in Kent in the thirties, bizarre and lovely at the same time.

No, and I used to live in Kent, though not in the thirties! More googling, I think...

If you are near Gillingham or Chatham then it was on your doorstep !! Looks like it was even older than the thirties though (memory fading) they say here 1909 !! Have a look here:
