Chinese company Ninebot won't be accused of offering knockoff Segways any longer: On Wednesday, the three-year-old startup announced it had acquired Segway.
The acquisition of Segway is backed to the tune of $80 million by Chinese company Xiaomi, the world's third largest smartphone manufacturer, and Californian venture capital firm Sequoia Capital.
