How much can a Segway pull/push?
We all know how much weight and payload a Segway HT (I and E series) can handle, but does anyone know what amount of weight the Segway can lug from one place to another.
Would the battery usage would go up? Would the physics change on the Segway if there is an load being pulled by the Segway affect its stopping distance? |

Since we are on the subject, I had changed the title.
How much force does the base of the Segway produce? |

Hi Blinky, according to the "Interact with Segway" area on Segway LLC's Web site (if you click on "motors"), the two motors have been tested to a power level of two horsepower.

Although not a released product (and who knows, it may never be), Segway was developing a trailer (not powered) which looks very similar to a a garden tractor pulled behind a riding mower.
They don't publish this information anymore, but when they did, they spec'd this trailer to carry 300lbs. I'm sure this would only be for level ground (factories, airports, etc). On level ground, 300lbs of push/pull is reasonable. |

I remember the member Emanresu once talking about using his Segway for his business(gardening?). I wonder if he has made any attempts into finding out any more about this issue. |

I'm waiting for more info before I put much hope on using my Seg as a utility vehicle in Landscaping. I envision it mostly being used by me to move from place to place for supervision of employees. I also am excited about the possibility of using it as a low-cost way to deliver fliers to homes in the neighborhoods we are working in. This may be it's best use- I can probably cover a house a minute, at least 40 an hour. I'll keep everyone "posted".
