I saw cops on Segways in two major American cities as recently as this month.

They failed for the average consumer, but they served a purpose for other sectors.

Fortunately, the economic downturn seem to have killed them off for group tours.

They make sense for cops doing crowd control. You get a little higher then the crowd, stand out, and with the gear cops have walking all day is annoying.

I can't think of any reason i'd want one, they don't solve any problem I have.
