Segway is a two-wheeled, self-balancing battery-operated personal vehicle. It works across most terrains noiselessly and efficiently while producing no adverse environmental emissions. Segway has electric servos powered by valence technology phosphate-based lithium-ion batteries which can be charged. Moreover, it works on the principle of an inverted pendulum, and it balances with the help of dual computers running proprietary software, two tilt sensors, and five gyroscopes. The servos rotate the wheels forwards or backward as needed for balance. The rider accelerates or decelerated by simply leaning forwards or backward as per the direction needed while traveling. Segway features a governor mechanism. When the Segway approaches a maximum speed, it begins to tilt slightly backward. This moves the platform out in front, and leans the handlebars backward towards the rider, to signal the rider to lean back slightly and slow down.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- Due to COVID-19, various governments announced lockdown globally which caused business down and movement restrictions. Thus, all the factories were closed which halted the manufacturing of Segway. Moreover, the raw materials required for Segway manufacturing were not available which further disrupted the manufacturing process. Furthermore, since there was a restriction on the movement of people, various segway tours were also canceled, and also people were not able to use their segway for personal use. This further affected the demand for segway in the market. In addition, before the pandemic, the growth of the segway was already down which was further negatively affected by the pandemic. So, it is expected like the rise in demand for the electric vehicle may also accelerate the demand for segway in the post-pandemic phase.
Top Impacting Factors
Upsurge in recreational activities, surge in consumer interest in self-balancing & battery-operated scooters, and increase in demand for the zero-emission vehicle drive the market growth.
However, rise in number of accidents and low battery capacity hamper the growth of the market.
Moreover, the popularity of electric vehicles, stringent government regulations on fuel-efficient vehicles, and a rise in R&D development to improve the technology can act as an opportunity for market growth.
Market Trends
Stringent government regulations on fuel-efficient vehicles
- Government across the world have made stringent regulations regarding vehicle emission to make the environment cleaner and greener. Thus, to achieve this, governments are promoting the adoption of electric vehicles.
- For instance, in India Mumbai Police have started using Segway to patrol sea faces and ensure safety & security at tourist spots. Thus, the use of Segway by police departments in various countries can boost the growth of Segway market.
