The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: Segway dealer is sold on productivity merits LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The stand-up, two-wheel Segway scooter might look like a toy or a novelty, but David Wilson sees it as a tool.
The Segway "can be used to be more productive every day," Wilson said.
Because the devices can go about 12 mph, Wilson, a Segway dealer, said warehouse employees could use it to finish rounds faster. In factory settings, supervisors could cover more floor space and maintenance workers could get from repair to repair faster.
In many industrial workplaces, golf carts, forklifts and other devices handle such tasks.
Troy Stockwell, a meter reader with Seattle Public Utilities, uses a Segway scooter in the Montlake neighborhood. Six meter readers are logging the scooter's performance on their routes.
