Segway

Segway Inc. is a company known for its innovative personal transportation solutions. Founded in 1999 by Dean Kamen, Segway gained fame with the introduction of the Segway Personal Transporter (PT), a self-balancing, electric-powered vehicle designed for short-distance travel. The Segway PT quickly became iconic for its unique design and futuristic technology, although it faced challenges in achieving widespread adoption due to factors like high cost and regulatory restrictions. Over the years, Segway has diversified its product lineup to include electric scooters, hoverboards, and other mobility solutions, catering to a broader range of consumer needs. In 2015, Segway was acquired by Ninebot, a Chinese robotics company, which has since continued to develop and expand the Segway brand globally. Today, Segway remains a prominent player in the personal transportation industry, continually innovating to provide convenient, eco-friendly mobility options for urban commuters and recreational users alike.
