Segway X2  is the first one of its kind – personal transport with self-balance technology, able to reproduce human balance and made to transport you on tracks. Its tyres and mudguards are stronger than in other segways, and its ion-lithium battery lasts longer. These factors made the segway a perfect vehicle to move around on paths without trouble.

Segway X2  has a specific kind of tyres that soften circulation on unequal surfaces and minimise the track left on the ground. The Segway X2 has LeanSteer’s segway new technology incorporated and InfoKey wireless controller to inform you about your itinerary. Finally, thanks to its lithium-ion batteries, you will be able to drive it for 20 kilometres with just a charge on non-paved roads.
