What is a Segway Human Transporter (HT)?
Ok, clearly you’ve been working too hard in the farm to have to ask this question. But we at Green Carrot understand the need to nurture the environment.

The Segway™ Human Transporter (HT) is the first self-balancing, electric-powered transportation device. It is an environmentally friendly way to get around, be productive, and have an incredible amount of fun while doing so. The dimensions no larger than the average adult body and the ability to emulate human balance, the Segway HT uses the same space as a pedestrian, and can go wherever a person can walk. The Segway HT allows people at home and on the farm to go farther, move more quickly, and have fun while doing so.

How does it work?
When the rider leans slightly forward, the Segway HT moves forward. When the rider leans slightly back, the Segway HT moves backward. It emulates how we walk. The Segway team developed a breakthrough technology termed "dynamic stabilization," which is the essence of the Segway HT. Dynamic stabilization enables the Segway HT to work seamlessly with the body's movements. Gyroscopes and tilt sensors in the unit monitor a rider's center of gravity at about 100 times a second. For more about how the Segway HT functions please see how it works.

How fast will it go?
Every Segway HT has three different keys that riders may choose from depending on riding environment and level of experience. Each key dictates a maximum speed within the range 6 mph and 12.5 mph.

Is it safe?
The HT has been developed with the utmost care and research has gone into ensuring that it is safe. The Segway HT has redundant systems and sophisticated alerts built into its design, and many thousands of hours of use have demonstrated that the Segway HT is safe when used appropriately. It is important that Segway HT riders understand their responsibility to ride safely. Proper skill level and understanding of the Segway HT prevents injuries caused by loss of control or misuse. Keep in mind that the Segway HT has not been designed, tested, or approved as a medical device.

How far can it travel?
It can travel up to 15 miles on a single charge. This distance will vary depending on terrain, weight, weather and other factors.

What is all the hype about?
Trying is believing. You have to experience the Segway HT to really understand what makes this device so revolutionary, so exciting and so fun. Link to our scheduling
