American Airlines allows Segway?
From their webpage:
"Segway® Human Transporter Device Batteries on the Segway® Human Transporter are lithium, similar to a laptop battery, and do not require removal or any disconnection of the power source. If this device is used as a mobility device, it may be stowed in the cabin on a first-come basis. Customers may ride their Segway to the aircraft door and guide it into the closet. It can climb stairs." https://www.aa.com/i18n/agency/Trave...orter%20Device |

This is incorrect information!!!!

The link which is provided, while active as of last week, is not a link which is provided to the traveling public through the AA.com website. American Airlines is investigating this and it appears to be provided to travel agents which was somehow overlooked when updating their website. American Airlines is aware of the prohibition and also aware of the fact that the i2 at the moment is only operational utilizing lithium ion batteries which exceed the permissible level of lithium. |
Thanks QuadSquad
When you here something to goog to be true it probably is. |
The Segway HT (pre-gen2) models can all use nickel batteries.

Considering that the XT mileage range from the factory has always been about 1/2 of the I model counterpart, and the range for NiMH batteries for I (and E) models was only 8 miles, would they have offered a segway with a factory estimated range of only 4 miles? I do not recall this. Because of all this, and my memory being what it is, I think that while pre-gen 2, the XT may have been released with LiIons. What I do not know is if it was backward compatible to NiMH. |
Yes, the XT will function perfectly fine on NiMH or Li-Ion. To the best of my knowledge they were released with Lithium but I have (in many cases) used NiMH on an XT and had no issues.

Jason, that's really wow!
I wouldn't have guessed such was possible on the XT. Thanks! |
