Corporate and contract security firms are faced with the challenges of optimizing the productivity and performance of their manned guard services within increasingly tight budget constraints. Segway has been working with security professionals around the globe to implement Segway PTs and provide maximum patrol coverage while decreasing emergency response time. With more than 1,000 installations worldwide, Segway is the leader in alternative transportation for patrol.
"We have calculated that one Segway PT produces a manpower savings of a man and one half - or at least $50,000 to $60,000 dollars per year per unit. That's a great return on our investment." Tom Dorgan, Security Manager, Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority
The Segway PT provides a core set of benefits when used in a patrolling environment:
- Multiply Your Force: patrol officers complete their patrol coverage duties up to three times faster and can do so more frequently when using a Segway PT versus walking.
- Improve Visibility: the Segway PT's higher platform height affords the patrol officer improved sightlines and visibility within their environment.
- Promote Interaction and Awareness within a Patrol Environment: the form factor and overall design of the Segway PT enables patrol officers to engage with people and situations in a way that's different than anything else. They're more approachable and carry a greater presence.
- Improve Response Time and Reduce Fatigue: the Segway PT allows a patrol officer to respond to emergency situations faster and with less physical exertion for more effective response.
- Adaptable to the Setting: the Segway PT is utilized in a variety of patrol environments and easily transitions from indoor to outdoor settings. Cargo options enable riders to carry essential equipment with them.

From the top down, this new piece of patrolling arsenal has been designed with you in mind. You had visibility; we made you more visible with über-reflective shields. You started adding on lights; we packaged them better (and made them brighter). You stuck your organization insignia wherever you could; we created a better place for it. You wanted to carry more; we made the bag bigger. You wanted to feel okay about dumping the unit if you had to; we added a bumper that enables you to do just that. Take a look at the enhancements and you get why the Segway PT is the best choice for moving officers around and keeping people safer.
We noticed a trend in public safety – especially in Europe – with the increasing use of optic yellow to provide greater visibility of the rider. It is appearing in apparel, as decals on vehicles, and now it comes standard on the Segway Patroller. If it doesn't jibe with your organization, there's also white; both of which are made from 3M™ DiamondGrade™ reflective material. That's the same high-grade stuff you see on street signs and vehicle edging. Shine a light at it and it shines right back at you with nearly blinding intensity.
You can choose black reflective identification lettering for police in multiple languages or security in English.
Just below the top shield and above the center of the handlebar is a window that allows the integrated strobe lights to shine through. Choose between flashing red and blue or amber and white .
Each Segway PT uses patented dynamic stabilization technology that has been proven in the marketplace as a superior solution in crowded or tight venues. It empowers riders with unparalleled maneuverability (true zero turning radius) and a unique user interface that is so fluid we simply call it LeanSteer™ technology.
Think about where you'll be riding your Segway Patroller. If it's mostly indoor or over smooth terrain, consider the Segway Patroller i2 model. Its smaller tires help to maximize range; getting you up to 24 miles/39 km on a single charge.
If it's more rugged terrain you'll be traveling over outdoors, the x2 may be a better option for your organization. Its deeply treaded tires help carry you over dirt and loose gravel while providing for a comfortable ride.
