Recently, SEG America (Segway Enthusiast Group of America) board of directors invited us to talk with them about the future of the organization. During the conversation, it became apparent that low volunteerism was holding the club back.

With the support of SEG America’s board of directors, Segway Inc. has proposed to take the essence of the group’s mission and oversee its management. We see it as an opportunity to play a part in making Segway connections across the globe.

Since its inception in 2003, SEG America has served as a place for Segway enthusiasts to unite and participate in local glide events and larger events such as SegwayFest!

During that time Segway Inc. has assisted SEG America with technical, intellectual and financial support and looks forward to increasing its role to continue the momentum of Segway product use and brand advocacy.

What exactly does that mean? Honestly, we’re still figuring that out and we’ll be asking for your help.

There are so many passionate owners and enthusiasts out there that we want to hear from during the coming months to help us determine where the organization should head in the future.

As for today, we’re excited about the opportunity and are looking forward to some new and creative ways to connect with owners and non-owners alike. We hope you’ll join us.

Stay tuned to The Last Mile for more news about the SEG America transition.

Most likely, the name "SEG America, Inc." will have to go away because that is the independant legal entity that will cease to exist after 8/31.

The ideas and hopes and dreams for Segway Enthusiasts Groups will not go away, but be transformed into something different from the organization that was SEG America.

So far, Segway, Inc. has shown a keen interest in taking the ball and running with it. We applaude Segway corporate and the individual employees that will be doing this good work for offering to take on this responsibility. But this does not mean that others who do not work for Segway are excluded. I am sure that there is a place for all people who wish to volunteer to help.
