FOR PATROL

FOR POLICE

Police officers focused on community policing have called the Segway Patroller an invaluable tool. Officers who ride Patrollers agree that the most significant advantages to riding them are that they’re:

  • Visible and help project a stronger police presence
  • Able to efficiently patrol larger areas 3x faster than on foot and with less fatigue
  • Capable of traveling indoors, outdoors and over varied and uneven terrain
  • Empowered to easily facilitate positive interaction with the communities they serve
  • Able to proactively gather intelligence from citizens and ultimately prevent crime

FOR SECURITY

Corporate and contract security firms are increasingly faced with the challenge of optimizing the efficiency and productivity of their security team in order to meet their client’s demanding requirements. Security officers that utilize Segway Patrollers appreciate its ability to:

  • Improve response time by traveling up to 12.5 mph
  • Trek indoors, outdoors, into elevators, up ramps and through doorways
  • Turn with a true zero radius, pivot within its own shoulder width footprint and maneuver in very tight spaces, including between parked cars
  • Traverse various terrain quickly and enable them to patrol vast areas to manage large crowds

FOR GOVERNMENT & MILITARY

The Segway Patroller is being deployed by a growing number of government agencies and military bases in an effort to increase the efficiency and responsiveness of security patrols, flight operations and maintenance crews, IT staff and public service personnel. The application of the Segway Patroller in these environments:

  • Helps staff in various roles to travel throughout large bases and vast facilities quickly
  • Allows riders to easily travel indoors, outdoors, through doorways and into elevators
  • Elevates the visibility, responsiveness and productivity of critical staff

FOR EMS

In a crisis situation every second counts, which is exactly why the emergency medical service (EMS) industry embraces the Segway Patroller. EMS professionals riding the unit can:

  • Travel up to 12.5 mph, arrive at emergencies quickly, without fatigue and with the composure needed to address the situation
  • Accommodate Segway’s universal cargo plate and cargo bag options and conveniently carry the life saving medical equipment needed to treat patients until an ambulance arrives
  • Maneuver through crowds and tight spaces and even through doorways and into elevators

Frequently Asked Questions

Segway Patroller Models

From the top down, this new piece of patrolling arsenal has been designed with you in mind. You had visibility; we made you more visible with  über-reflective shields. You started adding on lights; we packaged them better (and made them brighter). You stuck your organization insignia wherever you could; we created a better place for it. You wanted to carry more; we made the bag bigger. You wanted to feel okay about dumping the unit if you had to; we added a bumper that enables you to do just that.  Take a look at the enhancements and you get why the Segway Patroller is the best choice for moving officers around and keeping people safer.

Optic yellow and white reflectivity

We noticed a trend in public safety – especially in Europe – with the increasing use of optic yellow to provide greater visibility of the rider. It is appearing in apparel, as decals on vehicles, and now it comes standard on the Segway Patroller. If it doesn’t jibe with your organization, there’s also white; both of which are made from 3M™ DiamondGrade™ reflective material. That’s the same high-grade stuff you see on street signs and vehicle edging. Shine a light at it and it shines right back at you with nearly blinding intensity.
You can choose black reflective identification lettering for police in multiple languages or security in English.

Red/blue or amber/white strobe lighting

Just below the top shield and above the center of the handlebar is a window that allows the integrated strobe lights to shine through. Choose between flashing red and blue or amber and white.

Tried-and-true technology

Each Segway PT uses patented dynamic stabilization technology that has been proven in the marketplace as a superior solution in crowded or tight venues. It empowers riders with unparalleled maneuverability (true zero turning radius) and a unique user interface that is so fluid we simply call it LeanSteer™ technology.

The Segway Patroller x2 SE model is built tough for more rugged terrain. It’s well-suited for park patrols and traveling over downtown sidewalks that are in rough shape. x2 SE riders often tell us how much they enjoy the lower pressure tires, which help make a shift go by that much easier.

If smoother terrain is more your territory and maximizing range is important, consider the i2 SE for your patrol. It’s got all the performance you enjoy in the x2 SE, just in a smaller, more versatile package.

FAQs

What is a Segway Patroller?

The Patroller is a Segway Personal Transporter (PT) that was designed with the direct input of trusted law enforcement and security professionals. It has been proven to improve community policing programs by increasing an officer’s interaction, visibility and responsiveness. The Segway Patroller is most frequently used in downtown areas, airports, entertainment venues, hotels and convention centers as a patrolling tool. Today, it is the world’s indisputable #1 personal transportation solution for the police and security markets.

How many police departments use the Segway Patroller?

The Segway Patroller has been deployed in more than 1,500 police departments and public safety organizations across the globe.

How does the Segway Patroller move?

The Segway Patroller senses the lean of the rider with the assistance of five micro- machined angular rate sensors and two accelerometers that sense the angle of the unit with respect to gravity at 100 times per second. It balances the rider by applying forces to the ground in the direction of the lean. If you lean forward the Patroller applies motor torque to the wheel to push it forward, bring you upright and balance you. When you lean back, it applies reverse torque to slow you down and balance you accordingly. The Segway Patroller’s LeanSteer™ technology encourages riders to lean and move from Point A to B. It does so by using the sideways lean measurements of the rider, along with the roll angle of the platform, to generate acceleration. Gently move the handlebar and LeanSteer frame in the direction you want to travel and feel the Patroller respond.

Is the Segway Patroller more efficient than a car?

Yes. The Segway Patroller is 11 times more efficient than the average American car1 and over 3 times more efficient than even the highest-mileage scooters. As a zero- emissions vehicle, the Segway Patroller can also go indoors. It does draw electric power during recharge, but that electricity causes 14 times less greenhouse gas emissions2 than a car.

How fast can the Segway Patroller travel?

Each Segway Patroller is equipped with two operational settings, ‘beginner’ or ‘turtle’ mode and ‘standard’ mode. The beginner setting is set to 6 mph/13 kph and the standard setting is set to travel up to 12.5 mph/20 kph. 12.5 mph is roughly equivalent to a 5-minute mile.

How far can a Segway Patroller go on a single charge?

On a single charge the Patroller i2 SE can support up to 24 miles/38 km of travel, while the Patroller x2 SE can support a trip of up to 12 miles/19 km. Keep in mind that travel distances are dependent on payload, riding style and terrain. In addition, batteries will recharge when traveling down hills.

How do you charge a Segway Patroller?

A standard wall outlet charges a Segway Patroller’s batteries. To fully recharge the batteries from empty requires 8-10 hours. However, your unit may be plugged in at any time to top off its charge.

Does the Segway Patroller have weight limits?

Yes. Segway sets weight limits for rider safety and to reduce the risk of damage to a Segway Patroller. A rider must not be less than 100 lbs. (45 kg). The Patroller’s maximum payload (which includes the rider and all cargo) is 260 lbs. (117 kg). The total weight of any handlebar cargo plus any additional attachments hanging from the handlebar should not exceed 10 lbs. (4.5 kg).

Will the Segway Patroller fit in the trunk of a patrol car?

Yes. A single unit will fit into most car trunks and multiple units will easily fit in a van or truck bed. The Patroller’s LeanSteer frame detaches from the powerbase to give you more flexibility when transporting it. The height of a LeanSteer frame may be adjusted to ensure a rider’s comfort. This also allows the unit to be stored more easily. Keep in mind that the Tool-less Release Accessory, which is available for purchase, can be used to easily detach the LeanSteer frame from the base.

Do you offer Segway Patroller training programs?

Absolutely. Training is very important to the successful implementation of a Segway Patroller fleet. Our program includes a product orientation as well as a thorough review of operating procedures, riding techniques, safety information and more. We even offer a ‘Train the Trainer’ program to ensure that police and public safety customers are empowered to be self sufficient and can conveniently train new riders.
