The Segway PT that Segway of Oakland sells is one of the most efficient vehicles in the world. It is small and transfers power perfectly to its wheels because of its self-balancing mechanism. Because it is small, efficient, and electric powered, it only takes about 25 cents to fill up completely, which gives about a 450 miles per gallon efficiency.
“One reason that you are actually seeing Segways more and more is because people are beginning to realize that only a Segway delivers the kind of efficiency that translates into 450 miles per gallon, said Darren Romar, Co-Owner of Segway of Oakland. “With a 25 mile range, the tiny Segway isn't really that far off from how far an electric car can go on a charge. They really are not that far off of what you get from a single charge in an electric car like the Chevy Volt or the Nissan Leaf. While both the Segway and electric car don’t have a super long range on a single charge, the Segway is far more efficient than the electric car.”
Romar continued, “Another big part of why Segways are being used more and more is because they are extremely fun to ride! A Segway zips along and you're having a blast! While practical and helps saves money, you’ll also have tons of fun along the way to your destination. It isn’t just a car where you just use it to go to work and go home (but you can choose to if you want), a Segway is fun like a sports car! A Segway will make you feel like you’re breezing by, like you’re skiing, or like you’re floating! Get a Segway and have some fun while saving yourself tons of money.”
Efficient and maneuverable, owners can even take their Segways on BART. That's where Segways are really unique compared to other vehicles. It's so small you can get a permit for Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and you can take it onto the train! That makes for the world's most efficient system in terms of pure emissions and efficiency. The Segway is a tiny vehicle that provides far greater mobility than on foot and it's tons of fun. When you couple it with something like BART it really works to get people around.
