WHY CHOOSE SEGWAY?
Many reasons to choose Segway

Become more productive
The easy to learn, Segway® Personal Transporter (PT) is a highly adaptable productivity tool for businesses. Feasibility studies conducted by customers have shown double-digit productivity gains. It makes workers faster, enabling them to cover more ground in less time. It increases their carrying capacity, reducing the strain of repetitive tasks and the costs of work-related injuries. Because of the way the Segway PT operates, they'll retain the agility needed to maneuver in tight spaces. And it enables companies to forego the use of gasoline-powered vehicles, and the operational and maintenance costs that go along with them.

Become more recognizable
The Segway PT is unmistakable. Security that is clearly noticeable is an effective deterrent, and nothing is more noticeable than a security guard riding a Segway PT. Riders stand an additional eight inches off the ground, allowing you to be better seen and giving the rider better sight lines, over cars in a parking lot or boxes in a warehouse.

More and more security organizations around the world have learned how the Segway PT benefits their campus security patrols and mall security, allowing officers to be more visible and respond more quickly to crime situations and emergencies.

Low operating costs
With no need for gas, easy battery charging and operating costs of only pennies per day. Batteries can be recharged by utilizing any 90 to 260 volt and 50 to 60 Hz AC outlet (typically accessible in most countries). A complete cycle charge will take eight to ten hours, about the cost of a newspaper.

A reliable, durable tool
Another attribute that makes the Segway PT such an effective productivity tool is its reliability. Leveraging over two decades of scientific innovation, it has been extensively tested and designed to perform in nearly every environmental condition a rider may encounter. It has been precision engineered for virtually maintenance-free operation, resulting in even more long-term savings.

A Clean, Green, Eco-Friendly Machine!
Segway PT benefits our environment through the reduction of greenhouse gases.

As a leader in two-wheeled electric mobility, it's always been Segway's vision to produce environmentally friendly short-distance transportation alternatives. Today, more and more people are using the Segway PT as an eco-friendly alternative for many of the short journeys that are typically made by car. In fact, The EPA estimates that Americans take 900 million car journeys every day, but did you know that half of these trips are less than five miles long and are by solo drivers? What would happen if you replaced some of those car trips with a Segway PT?

Now just think if we were able to replace 10% of those 900 million car trips with an eco-friendly Segway PT. If each one of these trips was three miles long, that's 6.2 million fewer gallons of gas consumed and 286 million fewer pounds of CO2 emitted everyday.

Zero-emissions
The Segway PT has many benefits for you and the environment: less gas to buy, easier to park, and less wear on your car. It can also help reduce the impact of global warming by reducing our greenhouse gas output and consumption of imported fossil fuels. Read our whitepaper for a detailed look (PDF).

Zero-emissions are given off during operation, allowing you to go indoors with your Segway PT. It does draw electric power during recharge, but that electricity causes fourteen times less greenhouse gas emissions (PDF) than driving a car. After one year on your Segway PT you would have literally saved a ton of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere. (in fact it's probably more than that, a ton is based on average MPG, while most short distance driving results in much lower mileage.)

Environmentally friendly
Zero emissions are only part of the benefit of using a Segway PT. You're doing more than just shifting your consumption from petroleum to electric. Everything about the PT was designed to use that electricity as efficiently as possible. When you dig a little deeper, and compare the source fuel (petroleum vs. the fuel mix used to produce electricity), plus the cost of distributing or transporting the power, the Segway PT is eleven times more efficient than the average American car, and over three times more efficient than even the highest-mileage scooters.
