Segway has always taken on lead on innovative personal transportation design using renewable resources, but with the new
x2 Adventure, they add a degree of ruggedness that bring it into the realm of a GreenZoneSolution. The x2 is specifically designed for off-road recreation use or any other application that will require a durable, rechargeable transportation solution. If you are looking for a vehicle with a top speed of about 12 mph, a range of 12 miles and a selection of
accessories big enough to make you dizzy, the x2 Adventure is worthy of consideration.

The
x2 Patroller is based on the same chassis as the Adventure but is outfitted for public safety professionals with integrated warning lights, bumpers, reflective shields and cargo frame to carry extra gear like medical bags. The Patroller gives police officers the ability to maintain a line of sight head and shoulders above the crowd and silently cruise the streets and interact with the public in a unique way. Another key benefit is that the vehicles can safely operate indoors because there are no harmful exhaust fumes to be concerned about. Other
public safety minded add-ons include hard-sided cargo cases, LED light kits, reflectors and ramps to assist with loading into a vehicle. Segway claims its vehicles are in service in over 1000 facilities and communities around the world including fire departments in
Chicago and
Philadelphia.

Segway takes their commitment to sustainability just as seriously as their dedication to innovation and dependability.You can read about it on their blog,
the Last Mile where they highlight progress on many green initiatives with a social mission.

Segway makes it easy to calculate the difference public safety departments can save in fuel and money with a Green Calculator that is hosted a
social network (think Facebook) where users and enthusiasts can also share stories, ideas, photos and videos. The vehicles run on lithium ion batteries and Segway sponsors a program where they will purchase
renewable energy credits, about 200 kWh (enough to keep a busy x2 running all day) of sustainably generated electricity. This is particularly advantageous to public safety departments where SUV's and cruisers can spend a fair amount of the day idling.

Segways may have gotten a bad rap in the past, but with these lastest innovations they are looking to take a well deserved mention as a
Renewable, Reliable and Remarkable GreenZoneSolution.
