Segway p Series
Agile, portable and approachable.
The p Series is our newest, smallest, and lightest in the line of Segway™ HTs. It was designed to easily navigate in congested pedestrian environments, be taken on a train or subway, and operate where bikes, cars, and people come together. Use it to run errands, get to class, or commute to work faster and more conveniently. The p Series helps
you negotiate your daily routine with ease.In addition to the redundant safety features at the heart of all Segway HT models, the p Series comes equipped with a number of standard features. Power assist mode allows you to move the device up and down stairs more easily. The control shaft is adjustable to the comfort of the rider and allows the Segway HT to fit in the trunk of many cars. To help prevent theft, each Segway HT comes with its own set of keys, encoded with a unique 64-bit security identification.
Components of the Segway p Series
The Segway p Series is purpose built to commute in the City
| Shop till you drop. "I live near downtown and on the weekends, I love to window shop. Up one block and down the other. I know this area like the back of my hand. Now with my new Segway p Series machine, my shopping trips have taken on a new dimension. I travel further and see more than I ever imagined. And because I work downtown, the car stays in the garage. With all the money I am saving, I might actually be able to buy something on my shopping trips." |

Performance:
Top speed and turning rate.
The maximum forward speed and turning rate of your Segway HT can be set at different values based upon which key is used:
Beginner Key (black):
Maximum speed: 6 mph (9.6 km/h).
Slower turning rate.
Sidewalk Operation Key (yellow):
Maximum speed: 8 mph (12.9 km/h).
Medium turning rate.
Open Environment Key (red):
Maximum speed: 10 mph (16 km/h).
Most responsive turning rate.
TOP
Range:
6-10 miles (9-16 km) on a single charge.
The range for each Segway HT model varies with terrain and riding style. Under normal riding conditions, you can expect to ride about 8 miles on a single charge. Riding on flat surfaces and at constant speed will help increase your range.
Temperature:
When stored and charged at room temperature, the p Series can operate in environments ranging from 40ºF (5ºC) to 122ºF (50ºC). Actual performance is dependant on battery temperature, terrain and riding style.
Terrain:
The p Series is designed to operate on smooth, even surfaces. The Segway HT's inertial sensors constantly monitor the rider's position relative to gravity. This allows the Segway HT to adjust for changes in terrain while keeping the rider upright.
TOP
Payload:
Rider: 100-200 lbs (45-91 kg).
Optional cargo: 10 lbs (4.5 kg).
The Segway HT p Series is optimized for portability and can carry a rider up to 200 lbs. It can also be fitted with an optional front bag that stores up to 10 lbs. of small gear.
Space:
Platform height: 6.7 in (17 cm).
Footprint: 16 x 21.8 in (41 x 55 cm).
We designed the Segway HT to take up no more space than the average person. The p Series' small size allows you to partner with other forms of transportation, such as the bus, your car, or even a packed subway, to help you easily navigate your daily routine.
Weight:
70 lbs (32 kg).
When we created the Segway HT p Series, portability was a key design objective. The lighter weight of the p Series makes it easier to transport and store. The p Series is the easiest Segway HT to fit in the trunk of many cars.

Turning Radius:
Zero.
One characteristic of a pedestrian is the ability to turn in place without impacting any nearby person or object, something few vehicles can do. By balancing on a single axle, Segway HT users can also turn in place.
Power:
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery Packs.
The p Series has been outfitted with two 48 cell NiMH 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 four to six hours, which at 10 cents per KW-h, equates to less than 10 cents of electricity. NiMH batteries are designed for approximately 300-500 full charge/discharge cycles.
Range, battery life and recharge times can be affected by factors such as terrain, temperature, speed of operation, rider weight and load, proper storage techniques and environmental conditions.
Safety:
Redundant electrical systems.
Robust mechanical systems.
Safety is our top priority in both design and operation. To help ensure that both Segway HT 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 HT to maintain balance and bring the rider to a safe stop.
The highest design standards were implemented in building the Segway HT's mechanical structures, and each part has been thoroughly tested and analyzed to ensure such high standards were met.
