The Segway Personal Transporter (Segway PT, originally called Segway Human Transporter or Segway HT) is a self-balancing two-wheeled electric vehicle invented by Dean Kamen. It was first introduced in 2001 and is produced by Segway Inc. of New Hampshire, USA. The current models of the Segway PT - the i2 line and its off-road companion the Segway x2 line - are finding acceptance with police forces, warehouse personnel, and - increasingly - urban tours.

Riding the Segway PT

Riding a Segway PT is as intuitive as walking. Users lean forward to go forward, with the forward speed proportional to the amount of lean (up to a limit built into the device). Stand upright to stop or to remain in place. Lean back to go backward, again with proportional (and limited) speed. Turn by leaning the handlebars left or right.

"I was a bit afraid of it, at first," said Marlene D., who joined a Yuma, Arizona Segway tour. "But Kate, the tour guide, was very patient with me and showed me how to start and stop and go up and down curb ramps. It only took a few minutes before I felt confident. It's really easy to use."
