About Segway

Dean Kamen's inventions start the same way-looking at a problem, ignoring the conventional thinking that surrounds it, and working tirelessly until it is solved-a formula he's used since high school. Like most of his innovations, Segway HT (originally known and often referred to by its code-name, "Ginger") reflects Dean's belief that science and engineering can be harnessed to improve people's daily lives. Dean and his team saw a way for his balancing technology to be applied to human transportation, brought together a core team to perfect it, and formed a new company to bring Segway HT and its vision to market.

The dictionary defines segue as "a smooth transition from one place or idea to another." While the Segway HT represents a smooth transition from one physical place to another, we chose the name Segway for our company because we believe the Segway HT also represents an important transition to a new idea: an energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, productivity-enhancing, and fun alternative for short-distance travel.

We believe that when you are among the first to purchase and embrace new technology, you personify the spirit that allows inventions to become innovations, and that spirit can change the world. Hopefully, you will represent the Segway community with the same passion and vision we had in bringing the idea to reality. Thank you for your belief in new possibilities and your willingness to demonstrate it to the world.

Welcome to Segway, and enjoy the ride!

Thanks, Dean Kamen and the team at Segway
