Tauranga Air Show to be patrolled by Segway PTs

"The Airfield will be under attach by a squadron of Eastern Bloc aircraft"

- Classic Flyers is pleased to announce our Tauranga City Air Show will take place on Sunday 30th January 2022. On the ground assisting with airfield defence are over 80 classic cars on display as part of the Bay of Plenty Mustang Owners Club.

This year, Segway NZ will again be providing a fleet of Segway Patrollers - to help protect the Tauranga City Air Show on 30 January 2022 from...foes on feet!

For more than a decade this event has featured Segway Personal Transporters (PTs) as part of the security and event management detail. Search "Air Show" at Segway NZ News to read previous articles.

Watchdog Security are again hiring Segway Personal Transporters (PTs) in a variety of configurations for their staff to utilise during the event. Some Segway PTs will have x2SE model "off-road" ATV tyres or Turf tyres, one will have the BodyElectric 'MAX' wheel and tyre combination, and the remainder will be i2SE style.

Each configuration brings benefits, depending on the area of the Showgrounds where it will be deployed on the day (for example, perimeter, carpark, heavy pedestrian areas, etc). All PTs will be fitted with Segway Patroller front shields and rider-facing bags, or standard front bags.
