Segway P.U.M.A. Prototype
As a technology collaboration between Segway and General Motors, the Segway P.U.M.A. Prototype represents the next step in the evolution of the personal urban transportation vehicle and as of now, it’s the only one of its kind. The Segway P.U.M.A. is currently configured for two people and features a proprietary dynamic stabilization system that uses angular rate sensors and accelerometers to identify orientation and send power to the motors, as necessary, to ensure proper acceleration and balance. The P.U.M.A. has a top speed between 25 – 35 mph and an approximate travel range of 25 – 35 miles. An intuitive steering console allows users to accelerate and brake by simply pushing away or pulling in the steering console as appropriate. And with a Lithium Ion battery and regenerative braking capabilities, the Segway P.U.M.A. is both cost efficient and environmentally friendly, requiring only about $0.60 worth of electricity for a full charge.
