How does the Segway PT safely integrate into pedestrian environments?
Just as pedestrians adjust their walking and jogging tempo to match that of those around them, Segway riders adjust the Segway PT for pedestrian environments. The machine was designed to respond to rider’s movements – lean forward, go forward; lean back, go back – so that it could easily become an extension of one’s own body. Thousands of hours of sidewalk and other pedestrian environment use by police, emergency medical technicians and postal workers is testimony to the safety and utility of the Segway PT.
