Hello there,

I had never heard of Specialized and Segway being related in any way, so I just checked online and, according to Wikipedia, Segway is now owned by Ninebot Inc, a Beijing-based company:

Since 2001, Specialized has been 51% owned by the original founder Mike Sinyard, and 49% owned by Merida Bikes from Taiwan:

Bottom line: I don't believe these 2 companies are related in any way They may share reseller stores however, which is most likely what your local store is.
