Segway of UAE and Emirates Bank are set to debut a financing scheme that will make the Segway Human Transporter affordable to a majority of residents in the UAE and other GCC countries.
The short term financing scheme, provided exclusively to Emirates Bank or meBank account holders, will initially provide the buyer with a 6 or 12 month fixed payment option and will be available at all Segway of UAE authorized dealers and outlets.
The Segway Human Transporter, Segway HT for short, is the first of its kind, a self-balancing personal transportation designed to go anywhere you go. Whether you're a business who needs an alternative way to get your employees around more efficiently and productively, or a commuter in need of an environmentally-friendly transportation option, Segway has a solution for you.  Battery powered and therefore emissions-free, the Segway HT costs less than 1 Dirham a day to charge and its energy efficiency is equivalent to 715 kilometers per gallon.
“Segway’s aren’t just about fun in the sun,” said Steven Brown, CEO, Vesta Group, the parent organization of Segway of UAE. “People are using the Segway HT to run errands, commute to work, and just get about town, all while avoiding traffic and parking congestion. Segway’s have a very low operating cost and with of their small footprint, light weight, and superior mobility they allow the rider unparalleled transportation ease.”
“Our partnership with Emirates Bank is particularly pertinent at this time, as more and more we see the price of fuel rise and the traffic situation worsen.  We are pleased to be working with one of the premier banking organizations in the Middle East, and making the Segway affordable to the residents of UAE and other GCC countries.”
