Dozens of Kiwis with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) use Segway Personal Transporters (PTs) to get around. One recent purchaser was Megan Sadler, who's story about raising money to acquire a Segway PT was a feature in Woman's Day in 2018. Megan, who lives in Auckland, chose the Segway x2 SE so she could get out and about - and keep up with - her young daughters. Read more about her experience in our article Megan overcomes MS limitations with Segway PT bringing "Hope on wheels." Megan was first enlightened about how Segway PT enhances the lives of people with reduced mobility while reading a book...

In 2018 American writer Meg Lewellyn had published an account about her own personal journey with MS, entitled Segway Into My New Life (available at Amazon and elsewhere). Her Segway PT becomes pivotal to her continued mobility and well-being.

Many hundreds of New Zealanders with mobility impairment rely upon their Segway devices every day. Since its launch in New Zealand in late-2003 the Segway PT has proven to be a safe, stable and reliable platform for people to get around on. In fact, Segway New Zealand's very first customer had a leg injury, and our fourth was an amputee.

If you can exercise good judgement and can step up and down one 'step' it is worth exploring if the Segway PT is suitable for you.

About a decade ago a tourist from UK named Jenny Fergusson hired a Segway PT for a month while she was visiting New Zealand. Like Megan, she has MS and knew getting around on a Segway PT would make a world of difference to her holiday.

I love my Segway . I first fell for it when it transformed my holiday to New Zealand

When she returned to UK she purchased her own - a Segway XT model with cross-terrain tyres. Read Jenny's story in this delightful article published in a UK magazine.
