It’s named after the inventor, Dean Kamen. The name “Segway” is an acronym for “self-balancing, electric personal transporter.” The Segway was designed to be a new kind of transportation device, which would allow users to move around in a more efficient and comfortable way. The Segway uses two independent electric motors, one in each wheel, to keep it upright while moving.
