The two wheeler vehicles have a long history. The personal transport has evolved greatly from walking to using animal driven carts to gas driven vehicles to electrically driven vehicles. The segway scooter is the latest kid on the block. They prefer to call it segway PT or segway personal transporter. The company was trying to emphasis that it is not the usual type of the scooter. The concept of personal transport is taken to a new height, using proven scientific principles.
But for ordinary people it remains the scooter and hence is called as the segway scooter.
The word scooter was basically used to describe low engine, low wheel, and two wheeler vehicle. In that sense the segway personal transporter is the scooter. It does have low capacity engine, low wheel and is a vehicle for personal transport.
But the similarity ends there only. The segway scooter uses what is called as the
dynamic stabilization principles. This type of technology is never used in conventional scooter.
If you want to make forward then just lean a little bit forward and the movement starts. If you want to turn left, just lean a little bit towards left. The same principals will apply for turning to right or backwards. This small toy like machine has only two wheels. You are standing in between these two wheels in the segway scooter. You wonder whether your segway scooter can balance itself or not. As we are more used to four wheelers, this doubt seems natural. This segway scooter manages to stay upright by itself.
This segway scooter is useful for raveling small distances. This segway scooter can go up to 38 km in one single battery charge. However this distance to be covered will depend upon lot many factors. The terrain you are traveling or the payload being carried in the traveling will be two important factors. The riding style will also determine the distance traveled in one single charge by your segway scooter.
But the real benefit is that this segway scooter can take you in the places where your car or other vehicles can not take you. You can use the segway scooter to go inside airports, office buildings, stores, elevators, trains. So you can use the segway scooter to go to places where you can not use the bicycle. The company likes to call the segway scooter as the first self balancing human transporter.
This sort of technology is pretty advanced. The people using this segway scooter look funny. You feel that they are playing with some toy. Many people do not think seriously about the segway scooter because of its toy like look and use.
The fact is this is most energy efficient choice that you have presently. This is battery driven vehicle, so you do not consume any fossil fuel. The segway scooter does not give out any carbon di oxide gas. So as far as green effect is concerned, the segway scooter is extremely environment friendly.
