From the Amazon.com Segway page:
Inventors' Note
The dictionary defines segue as "a smooth transition from one place or idea to another." While the Segway HT represents a smooth transition from one physical place to another, we chose the name Segway for our company because we believe the Segway HT also represents an important transition to a new idea: an energy efficient, environmentally friendly, productivity enhancing, and fun alternative for short distance travel.
Segway enthusiasts who choose to purchase the first Segway Human Transporters through this program will have the world watching them. Hopefully, you will represent Segway with the same passion and vision we had in bringing the idea to reality. Why such great expectations? Because we believe that when you are among the first to purchase and embrace new technology, you personify the spirit that allows inventions to become innovations, and that spirit can change the world.
So, welcome to Segway, and enjoy the ride!
Thanks, Dean Kamen and the team at Segway
We at SegwayChat couldn't agree more. The first Segway-HT owners will be representative of this new technology. They will have a special responsibility to show the world that this technology works and that the product is practical.
Regards,
Frank A. Tropea
