RANGE
Lithium-ion:
16-24 miles / 24-39 km on a single charge depending on terrain and riding style

TEMPERATURE
Lithium-ion:
14º to 122º F /-10º to 50º C

When stored and charged at room temperature, the i2 can perform in a wide range of operating environments. Actual performance is dependent on battery temperature, terrain, riding style and payload.

PAYLOAD
Total capacity (rider & cargo): 260 lbs / 118 kg
Rider: 100-250 lbs / 45-110 kg

The Segway i2 can carry up to a 250 lb. adult. It can also be fitted with optional Segway Cargo Accessories for a total capacity of 260 lbs.

SPACE
Platform height: 8 in / 21 cm
Footprint: 19 x 25 in / 48.3 x 63.5 cm
Ground Clearance: 3 in / 7.6 cm

We designed the Segway i2 to take up no more space than the average person. About as wide as the average person's shoulders, it raises you 8 inches off the ground, providing a clear sight line of your surroundings.

POWER
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) Battery Packs

The i2 comes with Saphion lithium-ion battery packs. The batteries are designed with on-board electronics that automatically monitor both the condition and temperature of the batteries. Batteries can be recharged by utilizing any 90 to 260 volt and 50 to 60 Hz AC outlet (typically accessible in most countries). A complete cycle charge will take eight to ten hours, which at 10 cents per KW-h, equates to about the cost of a newspaper. Li-ion batteries are designed for approximately1000 full charge/discharge cycles.

SAFETY
Redundant electrical systems
Robust mechanical systems

Safety is our top priority in both design and operation. To help ensure that both Segway PT users and those near them remain safe, we built redundancy into the balancing and electrical systems. If any system begins operating at diminished capacity, the other is programmed to assume responsibility. This allows the Segway PT to maintain balance and bring the rider to a safe stop. We implemented the highest design standards in building the Segway PT's mechanical structures, and each part has been thoroughly tested and analyzed to ensure such high standards were met. Millions of fatigue cycles and thousands of hours of ride testing were completed in the development of the Segway PT.
