Have you ever noticed this high-tech two-wheel vehicle, which is becoming more and more common on the street and on the screen? It’s called the Segway PT! Word leader in personal transportation, this one-person electric vehicle was developed by American company Segway Inc., and its popularity is constantly growing. Did you know that there are now over 80,000 vehicles in circulation? Whether in the city, in the mountains, in music videos, ads or even films, the PT is everywhere!

One of its main advantages is how easy it is to use – a walk in the park! And just like when you walk, you use your body to guide you.

In short, you lean forward slightly to move forward, you lean back to slow down, and you turn the steering wheel to steer. This is one of the reasons the PT has won over so many fans! Its ease of use and its maneuverability have made it one of the most popular high-tech vehicles on the market.

The Segway in the cinema

The Segway is ever more present on the big screen. Practical and fashionable, it can be seen in Gad Elmaleh’s film Coco, in which the main character uses it to get around his gigantic business.
