Max speed is 20 km\/h. The seat can slide, which allows the user to easily move the center of gravity forward or backward as needed to brake. The handlebar can be folded and the seat is equipped with a parking function to facilitate transfers to and from the vehicle. The seat has a folding backrest and the entire seat is removable, which makes the vehicle easier to fit into a car.<\/p>\n<p>Model name: Addseat<\/p>\n<p class=\"bkom\"><strong>Users comments<\/strong><br \/>\nThe specially modified vehicle has made a big difference to the user. Her life is now much more mobile and she can get around on her own in situations that were previously impossible, like moving on a beach, in snow or pulling her children in a bicycle trailer.<br \/>\nTo get a modified Segway Marit contacted Hedemora Anpassning. Together, they managed to build a Segway seat that works.<br \/>\nMarit founded the company AddMovement to help others enjoy a more mobile life. AddMovement offers a series of standard solutions and specially built seats for the Segway and other gyro vehicles.<br \/>\nThe original version was designed for the Segway, but it can be individually adapted for many different needs and desires.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Inkopstallet\"><strong>Purchased from<\/strong><br \/>\nAddMovement, <a href=\"https:\/\/addmovement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">addmovement.com<\/a> (last checked March 2021)<\/p>\n<p class=\"idea\"><strong>Whose idea<\/strong><br \/>\nThe user<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 230px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/1361_87_addseat2_300.jpg\" alt=\"The user on her Addseat with a small child in front of her on the seat.\" width=\"220\" height=\"330\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">User on a walk with her daughter.
