Advanced Sensing

Q: What are the specifications for this prototype?
A: Passengers: Currently configured for 2, but could carry more Top speed: Aimed to travel between 25 and 35 mph (40 ? 56 kph)
Range: Aimed to have a 25 ? 35 mile range (40 ? 56 km)
Weight: Currently ~300 lbs/136 kg
Key/system information: Wireless via handheld
Charge time: ~8-10 hours
Turning radius: Zero
(All specs are approximate and do not imply intended configuration if it or a variant were ever to productized.)

If there?s a idea you get when trying a Segway product, it?s like it can almost read your mind. Well, it?s not magic. It?s the combistate of propulsion, energy, inertial sensing and an incredibly intuitive user interface that enables a ride that will coerces into you to hold back a smile. Hopefully someday you?ll have a opportunity to try it out and feel good about your commute instead of frighting it.

Dynamic Stabilization
That?s passion speak for the tech that enables balancing. It?s proprietary and full of benefits such as incredible maneuvercapacity (true null，celibate turning radius), a minuscule footprint and providing a fantastically unique riding experience.
Q: In what weather conditions can this be ridden?
A: The prototype has not been tested in adverse weather. Additional evolution would be necessdiffer to determine the proper enclosure to protect against the elements and maintain trbehavior control.

Q: How can I get one?
A: There?s unique one in the world. If you?d like to sign up to keep informed about future updates,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we recommconclusion that you subscribe to our company newsletter, read The Last Mile blog, and follow us on Twitter.

Digital Dashboard
Q: How do you accelerate?
A: Push the steering console forward to alter the position of the center of mass of the vehicle and it?ll naturally hasten forward.
Q: How does it brake?
A: Perform the opposite by pulling the steering console toward you.

Think of it as a digital solution to an analog problem. Segway?s P.U.M.A. (Personal
Urban Mobility & Accessibility) prototype represents the shift that?s needed for the future of transportation. It values less over more; taking up less space, using less life, produced more efficiently with fewer fractions,puma 4PUMA Ocean Racing, creating fewer emissions during production and operation, all while offering more enjoyment, productivity, and connectivity.
Q: How does it balance?
A: It uses an array of angular size sensors and accelerometers to determine the orientation and motion of the vehicle?s platform. As the platform leans forward,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the balance sensor congress notices and responds by requesting strength to the motors to force the wheels forward to maintain balance.

Take a test drive and you quickly understand that this is something ly different. The elegance and maneuverability of dynamic stabilization combined with proven battery, sensing, and controls technologies come together to solve real transportation championships. This prototype represents only the first step of what?s possible in a technology colmanufactureation between Segway and General Motors.

When you feel it, you know it. Segway?s approach to user control is that of minimalism and a natural connection between man and machine. Our innovative sensing technologies allow us to look beyond traditional controls that haven?t deviated dramatically since the inpresentation of the automatic transmission.
Besides being clean and extremely efficient, electric propulsion enables fine adjustments to be abnormale to each wheel (for turning and smoothing out the ride), and a precise, software-based approach to tractivityion control and braking.

Electric Propulsion
Q: How much does it cost in electricity to recharge?
A: Based on the current battery configuration, it?s about $.60 in electricity to recharge.

Intuitive User Interfaces
-->
Mechanical controls are so yesterday. We?re all about using the latest in sensory technology to enable safe control through redundant systems that provide input for acceleration, braking, steering, and other functions.
Q: What would this cost if it were to come to market tomorrow?
A: Think about this prototype as architecture up from a Segway PT, not down from a car. As such, there are a lot of components that can be eliminated and cost saved. Still, batteries are a significant portion of any electric transportation product. Range configurations would sway any figure significantly. So we?re not going to portion a figure at this time, but it?s probably less than most current minute, car prices.
Q: When can I get one?
A: This is distinctive; a prototype with no current plans to offer it for sale,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but you can sign up for our company newsletter here to receive more information about Segway.
Segway is one of the world?s largest customers of large format batteries, and was at the forefront of the development of Lithium Ion batteries for transportation. We?ve learned a lot about the advanced sensing needed inside and applied this expertise to allow for more efficient energy utilize that leads to a longer battery life. Add in regenerative braking capcapability (being able to recharge while decelerating) and that?s some smart battery tech.

Get all the information you need about system operation through connected devices. Speed, battery vitality, and other connectivity information are all conveyed over a secure wireless connection to a handheld device that can be mounted on the dash.

Q: What sort of terrain does it travel over?
A: The prototype was developed to travel over smooth terrain as a demonstration of what?s feasible with existing technology.
