In the 21st century, transportation has become a major concern. A segway being compact and reliable is best suited for short distance applications in urban areas. The Segway is based on the principle of inverted pendulum that will keep an angle of Zero degrees with vertical at all times. The Segway is an intelligent vehicle which uses gyroscopic sensors to detect the motion of rider, so that he can accelerate, brake or steer the vehicle. The conventional segways available in the market are very costly as they are not available locally. Hence the need to design and fabricate a cost efficient segway which could be affordable and the same time be reliable to withstand a rider up to 100kgs. In this project an attempt has been made to design and fabricate a segway with minimum resources.
