<p>Segway Inc. is a Chinese owned, formerly American manufacturer of <a href="/facts/Dicycle/Y91fCWKz">two-wheeled</a> <a href="/facts/Personal_transporter/0NuREDDk">personal transporters</a>, chiefly through its <a href="/facts/Segway/eEDEkX36">Segway PT</a> and Segway miniPro product lines. Founded by inventor <a href="/facts/Dean_Kamen/Tvl0XHbQ">Dean Kamen</a> in 1999, the company's name is a <a href="/facts/Homophone/6zEo7t7c">homophone</a> of the word "<a href="/facts/Segue/hY7u64ys">segue</a>".
</p><p>Segway Inc. was headquartered in the U.S. state of <a href="/facts/New_Hampshire/DljxSg3H">New Hampshire</a> and primarily marketed its products to various niche markets, including <a href="/facts/Police/rrdGISgt">police</a> departments, <a href="/facts/Military/kgNmLUnN">military</a> bases, <a href="/facts/Warehouse/BthIekUE">warehouses</a>, corporate campuses, and industrial sites. It has held some key <a href="/facts/Patent/LjT2bG3A">patents</a> on designs for self-balancing <a href="/facts/Personal_transporter/0NuREDDk">personal transporters</a>, although some of them have since expired.
