Segway Advanced Development

The Race to earth-friendly technology is slowly adopted by researchers and manufacturers from Toyota, honda, etc.. but this two seater electric car really steps up a notch to a more greener car. well, the technology behind the engine was already a few years back, but the controls, stability, and safety is very advanced. Fly-by-wire controls, which is i think adopted from aerospace technologies.

Dynamic Stabilization

That’s fancy speak for the tech that enables balancing. It’s proprietary and full of benefits such as incredible maneuverability (true zero turning radius), a small footprint and providing a fantastically unique riding experience.

Electric Propulsion

Besides being clean and extremely efficient, electric propulsion enables fine adjustments to be made to each wheel (for turning and smoothing out the ride), and a precise, software-based approach to traction control and braking.

Intuitive User Interfaces

When you feel it, you know it. Segway’s approach to user control is that of minimalism and a natural connection between man and machine. Our innovative sensing technologies allow us to look beyond traditional controls that haven’t changed dramatically since the introduction of the automatic transmission.

Smart battery management

Segway is one of the world’s largest customers of large format batteries, and was at the forefront of the development of Lithium Ion batteries for transportation. We’ve learned a lot about the advanced sensing needed inside and applied this expertise to allow for more efficient energy use that leads to a longer battery life. Add in regenerative braking capability (being able to recharge while decelerating) and that’s some smart battery tech.

Advanced Sensing

If there’s a feeling you get when trying a Segway product, it’s like it can almost read your mind. Well, it’s not magic. It’s the combination of propulsion, energy, inertial sensing and an incredibly intuitive user interface that enables a ride that will force you to hold back a smile. Hopefully someday you’ll have a chance to try it out and feel good about your commute instead of fearing it.

Drive-by-wire

Mechanical controls are so yesterday. We’re all about using the latest in sensory technology to enable safe control through redundant systems that provide input for acceleration, braking, steering, and other functions.

Digital Dashboard

Get all the information you need about system operation through connected devices. Speed, battery life, and other connectivity information are all conveyed over a secure wireless connection to a handheld device that can be mounted on the dash.

This is one awsome deal! But the last flight I had with them (Kalibo-Manila) was a bit frustrating. Our flight was delayed. the ETD is 4:40Pm, but the actual TD is 7:40PM! The cause of delay was the all time favorite ,,"Technical Problem".

Do you know what paradise is? Where it is located? What does it look like?

For me, Paradise is a feeling inside you, the rush of momentous happiness that gives ecstatic relief from reality. It's that moment when your heart pounds thousands of liters of blood to your brain, giving a burst of bliss.

Picture from: LakbayPilipinas.com

The powdery, sugar coated sand, is just as sweet as it looks with the crystal clear water lustfully pushing it bit by bit to the shoreline, warmed by the sun with that coconut tree swaying in rhythm together with monsoon is just my kind of paradise, my seventh heaven!

I’ll be leaving the city, and live in the island of BORACAY for a month and a half. One of the most beautiful sand in the world!

So, if you’ll be in BORACAY from mid February to end of March, we’ll most likely cross paths.

I can imagine Louis Armstrong Singing “What a Wonderful World” while walking on the shorelines at sunset!

What a Wonderful World

By Louis Armstrong

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.
