Happy birthday to us!
8 years ago, Dean Kamen unveiled the Segway PT, a two-wheeled, self-balancing personal transporter, on Good Morning America (thanks, Wired).
And since that day we’ve continued our mission, becoming the leader in personal, green transportation, transforming the way people work, play and live. Our efforts are focused on developing personal, zero-emission transportation solutions that challenge convention and solve real world congestion and environmental challenges. Seeing this industry grow from when we started it, we’re happy to have others on board in support of that long-term vision too.
Over the years, our customers have helped shape our products; we’ve introduced new models, packages and accessories that help people go about their daily business more efficiently and developed a social networking site to help them connect and communicate with other owners. We’ve seen regulations drafted and passed in support of our product’s safe use in and around cities. We’ve also shared advanced development projects that showcase existing technologies like dynamic stabilization, battery management and electric propulsion, including the GM Opel Flextreme collaboration, the four-wheeled Centaur prototype, and Project P.U.M.A. Don’t forget about our Nintendo Wii Fit game either.
At the end of the day, the Segway PT is a product that enables people to do more with less. Whether it’s getting from Point A to Point B in an office environment, patrol route or the daily commute, the Segway PT allows individuals to be more productive, cover more ground and have more fun, while using less energy, less space and creating fewer emissions.
Thanks for sharing in our journey over the last 8 years and here’s to many more.

Here’s your chance to win a new Segway Laptop Sleeve!
Hey folks! It’s fall here in New England, one of the most beautiful seasons in our humble opinion. Not only are we surrounded by brilliant reds, oranges, yellows and more, but we get to enjoy the great outdoors while the temps are still above freezing!
To celebrate the season, we’ve decided to hold a photo contest. That’s right – submit your best fall photo and enter for a chance to win a new Segway laptop sleeve! Your photo should showcase the colors of the season (we recognize that it’s not fall everywhere, but…) and focus on the scenery, so this contest is open to owners and non-owners alike!
From today through next Tuesday, the 27th, we’re accepting your submissions. Please tweet your pic(s) by replying to @SegwayInc using one of Twitter’s popular photo sharing services like Twitpic. Next week, we’ll pick our top three faves and let you decide the winner in an online poll.
Here’s a few of our own for inspiration:
We’ll post the finalists and the winner next week. Good luck!
