It will put it on the market as a corporation in the Segway and Japan that former Prime Minister Koizumi also took. Price about one million yen

The highest praise of the Steve Jobs of Apple Computer Inc. in the United States before is received, the ear duster that the government agency in the United States also is having interest occurs, and standing getting on type automatic two-wheeled vehicle of the Segway that can finally introduce even by the Time magazine and is extolled as "Invention of the century". It has already been used as transportation in the shut area such as the police, private security companies, and the warehouse, the event sites, and golf courses in foreign countries. Moreover, it got into the news because it presented to former Prime Minister Koizumi when President Bush came to Japan recently, former Prime Minister Koizumi got on it, and it went.

The Segway : according to the analysis of Japan SGI. ｢It starts, it is possible to stop smoothly only in the weight shift without the operation of the accelerator and the brake by the autonomous control function with the sensor of the giro ..rechargeable.., and flexible operativeness is a feature. Because time and the labor that requires it to move to make the best use of these features and to use the Segway on in the building and a vast site are shortened, the improved productivity is expected. In addition, a high concern is sent by electric as a new exhaust gas quiet, gentle also to the environment because of 0, cheap the running cost, a movement tool. ｣I hear that potential as a convenient tool was hidden by the one earth friendly.

It is not possible to drive with twining with the Road Traffic Law in the public road in Japan. (On an official site｢Use in the public road in a present the Road Traffic Law system of Japan is not admitted. It is possible to use by limiting it in ground of owning privately (As of October, 2006). It is written. )

*Transportation in shopping mall in facilities and amusement park with vast site such as factory, warehouse, distribution center, universities, and laboratories as corporate usage

*It uses it in the area such as a private security companies and robot special districts of the local government specially authorized for guard in in facilities and the building.

Up to now, the Segway had been imported parallel in Japan. I hear that Japan SGI maintains the system of sales as a regular total distributing agent, maintenance and the repair service are supported, and "Segway insurance" also did the offer proposal in the future.

The model of the Segway sold by Japan SGI is two types (general-purpose version i2 of the model and Segway PT (personal transporter) x2 that is appropriate for the off-road).

Various use etc. are proposed on a Japanese official site, and it is decided the mind only by seeing or there is something that competes. The price at the light car level gets a pain in the bankroll, and privately buying it because it is not possible to use it in a general public road is not so significant. It will see as a lending goods as the rental equipment in the amusement park as business such as public organizations and large-scale discount houses in the future.
