A Segway Personal Transporter (PT) featured prominently in an announcement about an upcoming lecture Human Longevity: myths and possibilities (Professor Sarah Hunger CBE, University of Oxford), to be held at Auckland Museum (6pm Thursday 11 October 2018). Admission is free, and registration is here.  

The Segway PT empowers a person with impaired mobility to get out and about, be active and engaged with the world, stay standing, and keep up with others. The health benefits of standing versus sitting (in a mobility scooter or Powerchair) are well-proven, and all of the above factors contribute to happiness and longevity. Hundreds of New Zealanders with disabilities and reduced walking abilities use Segway PTs every day. The photograph features Kiwi customers Bryan and Marg Carter, who we've featured in our popular article The Motorhome RV and the Segway PT. The Segway PT enables Marg to keep up with her husband Bryan, who is a keen walker. Their Segway i2 SE model is fitted with optional BodyElectric MAX Wheels for easy use on the beach.
