Once described as the future of transport, it failed to live up to the hype and rise to world domination. The reason is that even though it is a fairly clever invention, it failed to find a proper way to fit our everyday lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is a great way to move from A to B, but it usually doesn\u00b4t fit in with our normal way of moving around in the world, and was an invention more than a solution to a problem.\u00a0 Problems like how to take it with you in the car, where and how to charge it, and how to park it, has limited the mainstream use. The fact that it is on the opposite side of the coolness spectrum from, lets say a <strong>Harley Davidson<\/strong>, probably didn\u00b4t help either..<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The<strong> segway<\/strong> has however found itself a home in the tourist industry, frequently used in the bigger cities around the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/beatles_segway_by_wickedawsome.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-59905 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/beatles_segway_by_wickedawsome-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"beatles_segway_by_wickedawsome\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In <strong>Barcelona<\/strong> you can choose between multiple companies that provides <strong>segway tours<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barcelonasegwaytour.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Barcelona segway tour<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barcelonasegwayglides.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Barcelona segway glides<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barcelonasunsegway.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Barcelona sun segways<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/segwayday\/?hc_ref=ARTZ7knnQbIOsl2xEogbWtbFDpnc37kVhZpp6u5NpDPiHVPIxSmhXoD42zOqfauZuSI&amp;fref=nf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Barcelona segway fun<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barcelonasegwayday.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Barcelona segway day<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"\n    class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-valign-bottom kksr-align-left \"\n    data-id=\"59857\"\n    data-slug=\"\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 132.5px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-legend\">\n            <strong class=\"kksr-score\">4.5<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">\/<\/span>\n        <strong>5<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">(<\/span>\n        <strong class=\"kksr-count\">2<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">\n            votes        <\/span>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">)<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have probably seen it, the weird and awkward looking vehicle called the segway.
