This is a Segway i180. It has two brushless DC servomotors that go 12.5 miles per hour with a carrying capacity of 260 pounds powered by two lithium-ion battery packs with a 15 to 24 mile battery range with 19 inch tubless punture resistant tires.

Accessories include a denim-clad valet parking attendant who will help prevent curious onlookers and papparazzi by chasing them away with cries of "get back, you young whippersnappers." While recharging your Segway i180, the valet will inspect your Human Transporter for sharp edges, exposed wiring, entanglement hazards, illegal pneumatics and other potential violations, should you ever decide to use your i180 as a robot base in any future FIRST competitions. The valet accessory will also provide free fashion advice regarding the placement of buttons, pins, name badges, and multiple award medals, and promises not to use your i180 to play Segway Polo when you are not looking.

(Segway Dealers Note: due to limited production capabilities, the valet option is available only on a first-come, first-served basis, limit of one per customer. When supplies are exhausted, the valet accessory may be replaced by a ceramic garden gnome.)
