New Segway SUV

XT way XT or Cross-Terrain Transporter (SUV) is Segway latest self-balancing human transporter that provides enhanced performance on a variety of terrain with minimal environmental impact. Featuring all-terrain tires, a robust new fender design, new extended-range lithium-ion batteries and specially tuned software, this rugged Segway XT will go practically anywhere you want to go.

The Segway XT has been specifically developed for stability, comfort and performance on uneven and tough terrain. The Segway XT´s low-pressure tires smooth the ride on bumpy surfaces and minimize trail impact, while the wider track increases stability on uneven ground. The Segway XT´s software has been modified to support the new tire size and to supply improved control and performance. The Segway XT is also one of our first products to be released with new lithium-ion batteries. The increased energy capacity of the standard lithium-ion batteries support the demands of the Segway XT, while still providing a 10 mile off-pavement range, depending on terrain, riding style and payload.

The sturdy fenders on the Segway XT are designed to protect the rider from debris and to safeguard the rider during leaning turns. The aluminum fender frames feature built-in lift handles that help you (and a friend!) get a grip on the Segway XT for loading in and out of a vehicle. Bronze sport striping on black fenders combine with the polished aluminum wheels to create a machine of rugged beauty.
