The company stated that the S-Pod takes design inspiration from the vehicles depicted in the 'Jurassic World' film. Segway's new motorized chair will be available to consumers in 2021. The S-Pod features the same stabilizing technology that Segway included in its other vehicles. Drivers will have the capabilities to control the S-Pod by leaning forward or backward, however, a navigation panel can also be accessed to adjust the speed or orientation of the vehicle. Segway stated that the new vehicle has a top speed of 24 mph and it will have a range of 43 miles.
