Increase your company’s
productivity and visibility!
The
Segway PT (Personal Transporter) makes working fun again when used as a
productivity tool for businesses. Feasibility studies conducted by
Segway customers reveal astonishing, double-digit productivity gains
as the Segway enables workers to travel short distances with less
wasted time.
The
Segway PT provides for an increased carrying capacity, more than a
commonly used vehicle like the bicycle, while also reducing the
strain of repetitive tasks and work-related injuries. It allows
companies to scrap the aging fleet of underutilized company cars and
makes a ‘green’ impact on the environment. The Segway is less
expensive than a traditional motorized vehicle, saving thousands of
dollars in costs, insurance, parking and maintenance.
What
more could you ask for in an electrical vehicle that is gaining
worldwide notoriety and popularity like no other?
Well,
how about a reduction in congestion? Segway can do it, with vehicles
so portable you can take them with you on the train or crowded
subway. The Segway requires no new streets or special lanes and
everything about it was designed to act and feel like a pedestrian,
from the small amount of room it requires to operate, to the
machine’s ease of movement and balance. Its lightweight, easily
adjustable frame, specially designed tires and redundant safety
systems that respond to the slightest action, the Segway is like no
other.
University
Applications
Thinking
of going off to college, or bringing the unique idea to your school?
Campus applications for the Segway include police and public safety
patrols, facilities maintenance and supervision, meetings and
conferences, admissions and guided campus tours, delivery services,
IT desktop support, classroom studies, public relations and campus
publicity and fleet programs for students, faculty and staff.
