Segway

How it all began

Once the inventor Dean Kamen noticed a young man in a wheelchair who could not call on the sidewalk. Dean realized that the problem is not the ineffectiveness of wheelchairs, and that the world was built for people who are able to balance. After that, he and his team have created a system Independence IBOT™ Mobility System, sambalanco device that allows the user to climb stairs and overcome rough surface. This prompted the idea that balancing machines have far-reaching prospects of the use, even among people without restriction of movement. The name Segway was inspired by the word “segue” meaning smooth transition from one state to another. Segway turns you into a super-pedestrian, able to travel long distances, with greater speed and stock Luggage.

The mechanism of dynamic stabilization

If you stand and nahiyas forward, you will not fall face down. Your brain detects the change in the balance of the body due to the motion of the fluid in the inner ear. He gives the command to put a leg forward to prevent a possible fall. About the same system operates Segway but Segway devices have wheels instead of legs, a motor instead of muscles, scrapprocessing instead of a brain and a set of gyroscopic sensors instead of an inner ear. Like your brain, the Segway device knows when you nahijas. To maintain balance, it turns the wheels at the right speed and moves you forward.

Support sustainability

As a leader in the field of two-wheeled electric vehicle, the Segway goal is to produce environmentally friendly alternative to korotkometrazhnyy vehicles. Nowadays, a growing number of people are using the Segway as an alternative to short journeys that you do on a car. In addition, Grecotel do not emit any substances into the air, allowing the use of them in the room.
