Segway GT Golf Transporter Manual Support Features Review Guide Innovation

 

 

 

The Segway® Golf Transporter (GT) is a new personal transporter configured to give golf enthusiasts a new way to cruise the course. With extended-range batteries, a golf bag carrier rack, enhanced traction tires, and a special software-control key, the Segway GT provides the golfer all the tools needed to experience the game in a fun, unique way.

The Segway GT is built upon the same architecture as the flagship i180 model and comes well-equipped with features to enhance the golf experience. It features new Saphion® lithium-ion batteries that provide a range of 10-14 miles (on the course, 15-22 miles off the course) depending on terrain, riding style and payload, more than enough for 36 holes of golf.

The golf bag carrier secures the golf bag to the right side of the Segway GT. 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, making it easy to access the clubs. A special intelligent key comes with the Segway GT to allow 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. The low-pressure pneumatic tires (15-20 psi) are softer on course terrain than other vehicles traditionally used.
 

Using the Segway GT on the course makes for a unique experience. Since the platform is eight inches off the ground, riders get a great vantage point 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.

The Segway GT is available now at Authorized Segway Dealers in the U.S. and Canada.
