Find your way with Segway!
You won't miss a thing on your Segway® Personal Transporter (PT) when you take the handheld Garmin® eTrex® Legend Global Positioning System (GPS) around town. Customers will receive a free Garmin eTrex Legend or Legend C GPS package with the purchase of any Segway PT, Segway XT or Segway GT now through January 6, 2006. The offer is available only at participating authorized Segway dealers, while supplies last.

In addition to the free Garmin eTrex, customers receive a custom Segway PT mount and either MapSource® MetroGuide® (Legend) or MapSource City Select ® (Legend C). Both products offer detailed maps of roads and pedestrian thoroughfares throughout the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico – with locations of millions of points of interest – like restaurants, hotels, ATMs, movie theaters, and other attractions. Users can load and display portions of this data directly onto their eTrex Legend or Legend C via a PC. The Garmin GPS units can also display important information like speed, heading, distance and path traveled, and elapsed time, as well as TracBack ® – a feature that automatically guides you back to the beginning of your trip.

Current owners can also purchase the Garmin eTrex Legend ($399) or Legend C ($499) GPS, with the included software and custom Segway PT mount, for their Segway PT from Segway authorized dealers. Promotion participation, inventory and GPS model type may vary by dealer. Call your local dealer to determine participation. Learn more about the GPS offer now!

Self-balancing is coming to more than just HTs.
In early October, Segway Inc. announced plans to license its Segway® Smart Motion technology to other companies. The world will get the first peek of other products using this technology in 2006, when WowWee Ltd. will launch the next generation of its award-winning Robonetics™ brand of robotic entertainment products, which includes Robosapien™, Roboraptor™, Robopet ™ and Robosapien™ V2.

Segway Smart Motion is at the core of all the products Segway develops, including its well-known line of Segway HTs, as well as its Segway Robotic Mobility Platforms (RMPs) and “Concept Centaur”, the company’s four-wheeled light electric concept vehicle. Segway Smart Motion provides intelligent motion control that enables a device to monitor its environment, precisely control its motion and make the right decisions about how it should move.

"Working with Segway we will continue to raise the bar, surpassing the boundaries and expectations people have regarding the possibilities for everyday, useful and affordable consumer technology products," said Richard Yanofsky, president of WowWee Ltd. "We will use Segway Smart Motion to enable our products to move and behave in ways that challenge the imagination and provide advanced functionality."

"We are proud WowWee Ltd. will be the first licensee to utilize our Segway Smart Motion technology in its products," said Jim Norrod, chief executive officer of Segway Inc. "WowWee products are an outstanding platform for our Segway Smart Motion technology and will certainly provide an elegant, innovative user experience that people have come to enjoy from Segway technology."

The Red Key keeps Segway PT enthusiasts informed.
The Red Key is a Web magazine covering stories, events and items of interest to Segway PT Enthusiasts. The publication was started by Chris Johnson in early spring of 2005 to gauge interest in a niche publication for Segway PT enthusiasts. The publication slants toward the social and recreational aspects of Segway PT ownership and keeps a focus on the human side of the Segway PT experience. The 12-page charter edition of The Red Key was first published as a PDF document.

In May 2005, The Red Key Web site went live with multimedia content, providing a more interactive experience for its users. In June, The Red Key started publishing content on a regular basis and attracted the first reader-submitted story. Since the summer, The Red Key continues to attract numerous stories and publishes regular updates and photos of Segway PTs out in the world. It's an interesting site that Segway PT enthusiasts should regularly visit!

From all of us here at Segway, we wish you a colorful autumn!
And don't forget to enjoy the glide.
