What is a Segway gyropod?

Gyropod is the generic term for a self-stabilized, parallel-wheeled vehicle. It's a single-seater electric vehicle, consisting of a two-wheeled platform on which the user stands, a gyroscopic stabilization system and a control stick.

The first gyropod on the market is the Segway PT (Personal Transporter). This revolutionary vehicle was invented in 2001 by American Dean Kamen. Contrary to fake news, the inventor of the Segway is not dead.

The Segway brand is the leading manufacturer of this type of device. The gyropod is a range of two-wheeled, single-seater vehicles based on gyroscopic technology. Thanks to these, the gyropod is capable of self-stabilization.

Not only does this system enable the gyropod user to achieve perfect, automatic balance, whether stationary or in motion. It also ensures that the gyropod rider never loses balance or falls off, regardless of the speed at which he or she is moving. Of course, it's important to observe the rules of use and safety, and not to rush off without stopping!

The Segway is easy to use

We're always surprised by the great shape of senior citizens and their extraordinary capacity to discover new technologies. They're sometimes the most enthusiastic about riding a Segway for the first time! They're also often the most comfortable driving a Segway and enjoying a short ride. As you can see, while there may be a minimum age for driving in some countries (14 in France, for example), there's no maximum age for enjoying the joys of the gyropod.

In just a few minutes, anyone can move forwards, backwards and even turn on themselves. And all without having to worry about balance.

It sounds astonishing, but it's real: there's no gas pedal or brake pedal. So the only way the gyropod will move is by tilting your body forward. And, by straightening backwards, it will stop. To turn, simply push the handlebars to the side and the gyropod will take you exactly where you want to go.

So... shall we go for a ride together?

Segway gyropod FAQ

Can I use a Segway gyropod in the rain?

Yes, the Segway gyropod's electronic and electrical system is sufficiently waterproof to ride in standard rain. The most important thing is not to submerge the batteries, especially when riding off-road.

Is it possible to ride the Segway on sand?

Technically, yes. An all-terrain Segway gyropod can manage on sand, but it's not its preferred terrain, and it's important to check that you have the right of way if you're on a beach, for example.

What is the range of a Segway gyropod?

Up to 38 Km per charge, depending on the model. Autonomy varies according to a number of criteria, including temperature, driving style and tire pressure.

How fast can a Segway gyropod go?

Up to 20 km/hour. However, speed should be moderated during use, especially in city centers. You don't need to go fast to enjoy the thrill of gliding.

How do I recharge a Segway model?

Any standard power outlet! So it's easy to recharge your Segway almost anywhere.

Is it possible to fall while riding a Segway?

Even if it's rare, it's always possible to fall, just as you would on foot or on a bike, especially if you don't follow the instructions. However, the Segway gyropod takes care of your balance, so all you have to do is keep an eye on what's going on around you. Mobilboard guides provide training and support, so you can enjoy your tour in complete safety.

How much does a Segway gyropod weigh?

47.7 Kg for the "i2" model and 54.4 Kg for the "x2" model.
