Designed by Gogreen, a distributor of personal transportation devices, this new vending machine touts itself as the world's first Segway vending machine. The machine currently features a 55-inch touchscreen that lets customers pay for products with a card or mobile payments. The machine will be available 24/7 and is built to hold seven items at a time. The machine is currently stocked with the Segway MiniPro, [ES2 Kickscooter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-electric-scooters) and Segway MiniLite. Gogreen hopes that the introduction of the Segway vending machine will appeal to those that have rented or tried a Segway in the past and are hoping to purchase one "on impulse."
