Segway's Products page.
- Top speed: 12.5 miles per hour (20 kph). This is about three times typical walking speed.
- Weight: 83 lbs (38 kg)
- Width: The Segway's footprint (how much space it covers on the ground) is 19 by 25 inches (48 by 63.5 cm). This makes the Segway about the same width as an average size person, so it doesn't take up much space on the street. The platform is 8 inches (20 cm) off the ground.
- Weight capacity: 260 pound (118 kg) rider and cargo.
- Range: About 17 miles (28 km) on even ground, with a single charge on a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, and 8-12 miles with a single charge on a NiMH (nickel metal hydride) battery.
- Driver interface: The Segway has a small LCD screen that tells the driver how much battery power is left and how well the vehicle is functioning. The screen displays a cartoon face, which expresses the general condition of the vehicle.
