SegwayNinebot

SegwayNinebot is a Chinese technology company that designs and markets personal electric mobility devices and related services. It results from the 2015 merger between Segway Inc., an American maker of the Segway Personal Transporter, and Ninebot, a Beijing-based robotics company. The company markets products under the Segway and Ninebot brands and operates globally, with research and production concentrated in China and an international distribution and service network.

Segway Inc. was founded in 1999 by inventor Dean Kamen to develop a self-balancing two-wheeled transporter. Ninebot was founded in 2012 and quickly expanded into mobility devices. The merger in 2015 created a single corporate umbrella for a broadened product line and accelerated expansion into consumer and fleet markets. The Segway-Ninebot portfolio includes legacy Segway PT models and contemporary two-wheeled self-balancing devices, as well as Ninebot-branded electric kick scooters and personal transporters that are widely sold for urban commuting and corporate fleets.

SegwayNinebot also provides software and services for fleet management and urban mobility programs, enabling operators to deploy, monitor, and maintain large-scale scooter and transporter deployments. The company operates worldwide and maintains manufacturing and R&D facilities in China, with regional offices and service networks across multiple continents.
