A Segway is a self-balancing, two-wheeled personal transporter that moves based on the rider's body movements. Leaning forward makes it go forward, while leaning back slows it down or reverses. It has handlebars for steering and is powered by an electric motor. Segways are often used for short-distance travel, guided tours, or patrolling in areas where cars are not practical. Their design makes them easy to use in crowded spaces, and they are commonly seen in urban areas, parks, and large indoor facilities.
