Patroller 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
