The Segway XT is not intended for use on sidewalks.

PRESS RELEASE - PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

BEDFORD, N.H. - March 1, 2005 - Segway Inc. today introduced the Segway® Cross-Terrain Transporter (XT), a new self-balancing Personal Transporter that provides enhanced performance on a variety of terrain with minimal environmental impact. The new transporter features all-terrain tires, a robust new fender design, new extended-range lithium-ion batteries and specially tuned software.

The Segway XT is one of the first Segway products to be released with new lithium-ion batteries. The increased energy capacity of the lithium-ion batteries support the demands of the Segway XT, while still providing a 10 mile off-pavement range, depending on terrain, riding style and payload. The Segway XT is available only with lithium-ion batteries.

The sturdy fenders on the Segway XT are designed to protect the rider from debris and to safeguard the rider during leaning turns. The aluminum fender frames feature built-in lift handles that help you get a grip on the Segway XT for loading in and out of a vehicle. Bronze sport striping on black fenders combine with the polished aluminum wheels to create a machine of rugged beauty. Like all units in the Segway product line, the Segway XT is zero-emissions, almost silent and extremely energy efficient. The lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable at any standard outlet.
