Riding the Segway™PT is pure joy for body and soul. The Segway™ PT is the only two-wheeled vehicle designed and manufactured as an extension of the human body. It has been a huge success in the U.S. (sales are up 25% from the previous quarter and are expected to increase 50% by the end of the year). The Segway™ has spread like wildfire and has been a huge success in Europe as well. The Segway™ PT serves as an "alternative vehicle to cars and motorcycles" for short distances of a few kilometers in urban areas. The exercise cost of the Segway PT is less than one-third of the exercise cost of an average Euro 4 city car.
For many people, a greater sense of environmental responsibility is no longer considered an obligation, but an instinct. We want to reduce noise pollution, breathe clean air, and lower our stress levels.
It's easy with Segway. From city streets to outdoor trails, it's easy because it's built to improve your quality of life. Because it requires minimal training and is safe for everyone to use. And its possibilities are wide, making it suitable for a variety of uses, including police (municipal, regional, and airport), beaches, shopping malls, and corporate use.
Segway has also been chosen by stars. Brad Pitt, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Will Smith have them, as do Jerry Scotti, Roberto Cavalli and Berlusconi (thanks to a gift from George Bush). However, the Segway™PT is not a fashion accessory, but a whole new way of transportation. The Segway™PT moves in harmony with its rider. The Segway™PT is the only self-balancing mode of transportation. Based on the proprietary Segway™ Smart Motion™ technology, it is equipped with an advanced system of microprocessors, sensors and gyroscopes that detect subtle changes in the driver's posture and adjust direction and speed accordingly. It also uses rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, making it quiet, safe, and ecological. The price is about one-third that of a midsize car, with a suggested retail price of 5,000 to 6,000 Euros plus VAT. It costs nothing for gasoline or diesel, is exempt from taxes, and will retain its value for five years (as opposed to cars, which start losing value as soon as they leave the showroom). It can be parked anywhere and is equipped with an information key controller to prevent theft, so that if it is tampered with, it will deactivate and an alarm will sound, making it unusable.
The Segway can travel 40 kilometers (recharging takes five hours at a standard power outlet) and can run at speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour (the average speed of a car traveling in an urban center during peak hours is about 3 kilometers per hour).
Headquartered in Bedford, USA, Segway Inc. is known around the world for having developed the Segway Smart Motion technology that is now being applied to very advanced electric and self-propelled mobility devices. The benefits of Segway PT are being studied to quantify its potential for improving the quality of social life. The Segway PT can travel 600 or 800 kilometers on a liter of gasoline and does not pollute or congest urban traffic. This is a great opportunity for development towards sustainability. The benefits of Segway's Smart Motion technology have been recognized on an international level. Segway's distributor network has more than 250 sales offices in 61 countries. Segway's distribution network counts 250 sales offices in 61 countries and continues to grow. We are sharing with the world the creative impulse and scientific rigor of an invention that is changing the way we move.
