5 gyroscopic sensors and 2 tilt sensors.
A Segway typically has two gyroscopic sensors. These sensors work in conjunction with accelerometers to detect the rider's balance and movements, allowing the Segway to maintain stability and respond to the user's shifts in weight. This combination of sensors is crucial for the self-balancing functionality of the device.
The Segway PT has five gyroscopic sensors, though it only needs three to detect leaning forward or backward (termed "pitch"), leaning to the left or right (termed "roll") and steering to the left or right (termed "yaw"). The extra sensors add redundancy, to make the Segway more reliable.
A Segway typically uses multiple microprocessors to manage its various functions, including balance, speed control, and user input. These microprocessors process data from sensors like gyroscopes and accelerometers to maintain stability and facilitate smooth movement. The integration of these components allows the Segway to respond quickly to shifts in weight and terrain, ensuring a safe and efficient riding experience. Overall, the use of microprocessors is crucial for the Segway's performance and responsiveness.
A segway weighs less than a gram if delivered properly. If a segway is obtuse and awkward it can weigh as much as one metric ton.
The average price of a Segway is $2,000.00 to $3,900.00. However, many retailers such as Sam's Club and amazon carry a wide variety of Segway's from $3,900.00 to $4,600.00 with many different options available.
Dean Kamen invented the Segway. He is a serial inventor of many patents, most of them for medical appliances.

Dean Kamen invented the Segway.
Segway Inc. was created in 2001.
The Segway was invented by Dean Kamen and was first introduced in 2001. Kamen aimed to create a revolutionary personal transportation device that could enhance mobility in urban environments. The Segway uses a unique balance system that relies on gyroscopic sensors and accelerometers to maintain stability, allowing users to control it by shifting their weight. Its design and technology garnered significant media attention, although it faced mixed commercial success.
A Segway weighs 95 lbs with batteries!
