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
on the road) 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.
