| The Segway® is an electronically balanced, battery powered personal transporter that can turn in place and carry one person between approximately 100 and 250 pounds up to 12½ mph, which is under five minutes per mile, with up to a 24 mile range. The handle controls turning, but all other movements are controlled by basically leaning slightly in the direction you want to travel. Feels like magic, but it is technology in action. |

First becoming widely available in 2003, it was initially developed over a 10 year period by inventor Dean Kamen at a cost of more than $100 million. Manufactured by Segway, Inc. of New Hampshire, it relies on an array of sophisticated electronics to remain balanced. Remarkably intuitive and amazingly easy to learn. Not only is it incredibly useful, but more fun than you can imagine!
