Mike - I guess that one segway rental a day and you would probably do okay. I mean 20$ x 30 = $600 a month. You'll make your money back in 5 - 6 months. Wonder what the upkeep is. Do you have to send them away everytime the smallest thing goes wrong? When you do that it might be out of commission for 30 days? The insurance for one of those scooters was around $100 a person so you would have to get maybe 500$ a person.
I think as a novelty item in a place like NO (big transient crowd) it might work. It would have to be in a transient place like that. Once the novelty wears off maybe the price comes down and you can rent them for the day.
I know that one problem with scooters is theft. How do you protect against that. My guess is that once you start getting into the 1/2 day and full day rentals people will be taking them to restaurants and hotels, etc. how do you keep them from being the #1 item on peoples "5 finger" list
