What could possibly make the Segway Human Transporter a more efficient and convenient mode of transportation than it already is? How about customizing the rugged i Series with a heavy-duty, cargo-carrying tray to allow the user to haul more than 50 pounds of gear?

(PRWEB) January 20, 2005 -- The Segway Heavy Hauler is a customized model available only through Segway of Oakland.

It also features a handlebar tray, kickstand, metal-halide headlight and key case. It can be purchased or rented only from Segway of Oakland at 212 International Blvd. (www.segwayofoakland.com).

The Heavy Hauler really holds a lot of weight," said Darren Romar, a partner in Segway of Oakland. We built it big enough to carry plenty of stuff."

Romar noted customers have been asking for a Segway that could help them bring items back from the store, since the machine is already a fast and 'green way to get around town, specially crafted to fit in tight public spaces including the bus, metro or train.

This is a brand-new Segway in the box with one-year factory warranty. The customizations are made in-shop. The new Heavy Hauler model is selling now at a retail price of $5,195.

Both models of the extremely popular Segway HT (Human Transporter) are always offered for sale, including the agile and portable p Series and the quick, capable and rugged i Series. The Segway is safe and reliable transportation and each comes with its own set of keys featuring 64-bit security identification to deter theft.

The Segway HT (Human Transporter) is the first of its kind anywhere in the world. The high-tech machine is a self-balancing personal transportation device designed to go anywhere and do just about anything.

It is compact but powerful and fully rechargeable from an ordinary wall outlet, with a normal range of 8-12 miles on a single charge (*range varies by series). No other vehicle can claim 'green status like the Segway, and dont think companies and municipalities havent taken notice of this fact. The Segway is used by progressive cities like Seattle and Spokane, by companies like Disney, Google, Remax Realty and Thrifty Car Rental, and by a wide array of others including the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force, the U.S. Postal Service and the nonprofit Big Brothers, Big Sisters.

Each Segway HT model is rugged and capable, with inertial sensors constantly monitor the riders position relative to gravity and adjusting accordingly to changes in terrain while keeping the rider upright. At approximately 83 pounds (38 kg), the Segways portability was key to its design, being light enough to handle and small enough to store in your trunk.
