Perhaps this is the solution to the problem segways had, social acceptability. If it becomes mainstream among college students, it could easily spread to everyone else.

Social acceptability is part of it. But the bigger issue was likely part of what you see people arguing about here. Segways didn't belong on sidewalks and they didn't really work very well on roads. (And you can debate how great a fit they are/were even for bike lanes.)
