Yes but they are not generally seen as mere transportation. If you use it as that you kinda look like you are a overgrown teenager. If you use it as a platform for tricks and jumps it is again fairly dangerous. This time not in lives lost but in bones broken.

When I see Tony Hawks Segway Pro in the shelves because people want to do those tricks but are afraid to break their bones, then maybe then Segways will be cool. All I see on the horizon is "Ride your Segway like Woz" the iPhone App that really only plays 3 videos (But you know how hard it is to get a video into iTunes).
