What exactly is a Segway?
The Segway is an electric vehicle for one person. You stand on a platform between 2 wheels. You hold on to a vertical bar. The wheels are each driven independently by a motor. If one wheel turns faster than the other wheel, you take a bend. The control by shifting the weight is learnt quite quickly. The Segway is powered like an electric car or an e-bike by an electric motor with a lithium-ion battery.
