Are you sure it was a real Segway? There are segway knockoffs (from china I think) that dont balance, they have castors like you described. They sell for around $400.

Im pretty sure if you put castors on a Segway, that were in contact with the ground all the time, it would be un-usable. You have to lean forward to make a real Segway go.
