Product Description

Manufacturer Product Description
The Segway Human Transporter (HT) i180 is our most versatile and colorful model. With new fenders, wheels and battery options, it was designed for extended range, stability and plenty of cargo capacity. The i180 readily navigates a wide range of operating environments and terrain.

The i180 is one of the first Segway HTs available with optional Saphion lithium-ion batteries. The new batteries deliver an impressive range of up to 24 miles on a single charge, depending on terrain, riding style and payload. Saphion lithium-ion batteries are low-maintenance, have a long service life and can operate at battery temperatures as low as 14° F (-10° C). Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) are also available.

The i180 also features newly designed fenders and wheels, as well as coordinating accents of color on the control shaft and handlebars. Moveable silver splashguards on the fenders allow the rider to customize the look of the Segway HT. Position them toward the front of the fenders for a more aggressive look; move them to the rear for maximum spray protection; or, remove them completely for a sleek, minimalist look.

The i180 is the first Segway HT to roll on new black wheels that come standard with contrasting silver inserts. Five inserts are designed to fit into slots within the wheel; with one slot marked with a subtle notch to identify the location of the air valve hidden beneath. For further customization, additional splashguards and wheel inserts will be available from Authorized Segway Dealerships or online at the Segway Shop. Splashguards and wheel inserts are currently available in Sport Red, Solar Yellow, and silver.

In addition to the redundant safety features at the heart of all Segway HT models, the i180 comes equipped with a number of standard features. Power assist mode allows you to move the device up and down stairs more easily. The control shaft is adjustable to the comfort of the rider and allows the Segway HT to fit in the trunk of many cars. To help prevent theft, each Segway HT comes with its own set of keys, encoded with a unique 64-bit security identification. The i180 also comes with a mechanical parking stand.
