PT's Perspective & Adventures

What Is It?

The Segway® Personal Transporter { PT } is one of the most innovative means of transportation in history. It's right up there with the wheel, wagons, automobiles, boats, locomotives, airplanes, and spaceships. In fact, it has as much in common with the latter as the former.

"Huh?", you say. No kidding. It has gyroscopic sensors similar to those in the space shuttle to keep it balanced. And it has dual smart batteries and duplicate computer control systems for redundancy and safety. All of that results in what Segway Inc. calls "dynamic stabilization": 100 times a second it's checking to make sure it's underneath you.

The Segway PT is designed to move like a human. You move forward and backward and stop by shifting your center of gravity forward or backward - like walking without moving your feet. And it will literally turn on a dime in place. There's also a long list of safety features to protect the glider and those nearby.

When we're out gliding, occasionally someone will yell out "Lazy!" at us - as they're riding by in their gas-guzzling SUV. 'Nuff said there. But the Segway PT wasn't designed to replace walking. It was designed to replace those trips where it's too far to walk and you feel guilty driving your car. It's a fun way to run errands, commute, explore, tour, work, and patrol.

Which model is right for you? There are two basic models: i2 for normal terrain indoors and outdoors, and x2 for rougher terrain outside. And there are accessory packages available for each of the models including i2 Commuter, i2 Cargo, x2 Adventure, and x2 Turf. The Patroller model can be based on the i2 or x2.
