The
Segway is an electronically balanced, battery powered human transporter
that can turn in place and carry one person between approximately 100 and
250 pounds up to 12½ mph. A handgrip controls left and right turning, but
all other movements, forward & backward, starting & stopping, and speed are
controlled with center of gravity- basically by leaning slightly in the
direction you want to travel. Feels like magic, but it is technology in
action. Remarkably intuitive and amazingly easy to learn. More fun than you
can imagine!
First becoming widely available in 2003, it was developed over a 10 year period by inventor Dean Kamen at a cost of more than $100 million. Manufactured by Segway LLC of New Hampshire, it relies on a combination of five gyroscopes and two tilt sensors plus an array of sophisticated electronics to always remain balanced.
