The Segway scooter may not have had the life changing impact its creator originally thought, but it is slowly becoming more and more popular, and becoming a great mode of transportation for many.  A little history of the Segway Scooter below.

Previous versions included (in order of release):

• Segway i167 - Titanium color base. One of the first two Segway HTs released.
• Segway e167 - The same as the i167, but with the Electronic Kickstand (allowing the HT to stay balanced without a rider). The e167 also came standard with the upper and lower cargo structures.
• Segway p133 — Human Transporter - Smaller platform and wheels and less powerful motors than the i and e Series. Top speed was 4.5 m/s in the p-Series.
• Segway i170 - Midnight Blue color base. Otherwise, the same as the i167.
• Segway i180 - Available with Sport Red, Solar Yellow, and Midnight Blue colored fenders. Optional Saphion
• Lithium-ion batteries
• Segway XT - The first Segway HT designed specifically for recreation.

The Segway's i-Series model's maximum speed is 12.5 mph (approximately 20 km/h). Maximum power is 2 horsepower (1500 watts) per servo motor. The i-Series is capable of covering 15–25 miles (25–40 km) on a fully charged lithium ion battery, depending on terrain, riding style, and the condition of the batteries.  It takes 8–10 hours to complete a full balancing and recharging cycle. For each 15 minutes of time re-charging, the batteries regain a mile of charge. The batteries also recharge while riding downhill and stopping, and by the Segway being pushed while turned off. The p-Series is capable of covering 6–10 miles (10–16 km) on a fully charged nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery, depending on terrain. It takes 4–6 hours to recharge, and regains 1-mile (1.6 km) for every 30 minutes charging.

In 2006, series i2 and x2, were released, replacing the older lineup:

• i2: Uses the new LeanSteer and InfoKey technologies.
• x2: The new XT model, same upgrades, with its own special software for off-road use. Can be equipped with a golf bag carrier, replacing the GT model. Turf Tires Available.

Specialized variants of the x2 are sold under different names like:

• Segway GT — Golf Transporter
• Segway PT i2 Ferrari Edition

The newer models i2 and x2 weigh 105 lb (48 kg) and 120 lb (54 kg) respectively.

In May 2008, Segway introduced a new "Metallic Sage" color for the i2 model, in addition to the original white and black colors available.

Today, Segways are allowed to be used on sidewalks in most states, although local municipalities may disallow thier use. Many states also allow their use in bicycle lanes or on roads with speed-limits of at most 25mph.
