Segway have released the Segway Golf Transporter, a new personal transporter configured to give golf enthusiasts a new way to cruise the course. Perfect for the Shoreditch Open me thinks.
With extended-range batteries, a golf bag carrier, enhanced traction tires, and a special standby key, the Segway GT provides the golfer all the tools needed to experience the game in a fun, unique way. Nice and here's the full press hype: The Segway GT is built upon the same architecture as the flagship i Series model and comes well equipped with features to enhance the golf experience. It has new Saphion lithium-ion batteries that provide a range of up to 14 miles on the course depending on terrain, riding style and payload, enough to allow you to play up to 36 holes on a single charge. When used on paved, flat surfaces, Segway GT riders will achieve a range of up to 22 miles. The golf bag carrier secures the golf bag to the side of the Segway GT and is configured to sit on the right-hand side of the rider. Adjustable straps secure the bag to the carrier and can accommodate most golf bags. The carrier functions as a stand for the unit when it's time to play, allowing access to the clubs. A special standby key comes with the Segway GT to enable the unit to stay powered on while the rider takes his or her shot, allowing for quick mounting and dismounting and thus, speedier play. Enhanced traction tires come standard on the Segway GT and help the golfer follow the action over the varied landscape of the course. These tires are made of a special compound and feature a unique tread optimized to perform well on low-traction surfaces. Using the Segway GT on the course makes for a unique experience. Since the platform is eight inches off the ground, riders have a great view of the fairway. The Segway GT moves two to three times walking speed and can help the rider move from point to point quickly, while still enjoying his or her surroundings. And like all units in the Segway product line, the Segway GT is zero-emissions, almost silent and extremely energy efficient.
