Segway Powersports is coming to the UK in 2020 with a range of ATV, SXS and UTV machines.

Launched at 2019’s EICMA Motorcycle Show in Italy, the product range consists of the Snarler all-terrain vehicle (ATV), the Villain side-by-side (SXS), and the Fugleman utility terrain vehicle (UTV).

Variants on the three Segway Powersports products include petrol engines, and a hybrid powertrain, with nine road-legal, high-performance models available for the leisure market.

Aside from the obvious affinity with electric drivetrain technology that Segway is famous for, all the new models feature an advanced telematics system. The Snarler, Villain and Fugleman are all compatible with the Segway Powersports App, allowing users to access the real-time data of their vehicles through the Smart Commanding System. Additional functions include speed limit settings and remote locking via your mobile phone. This app-based operation also keeps owners notified about service intervals and updates, battery and fuel range levels, tracks movement for theft follow-up and even sends an SOS warning to an emergency contact in the event of an accident.

Dualways MD Henry Maplethorpe commented: “This is the perfect time for us to introduce the Segway Powersports brand into the UK. The powerful, well-developed machines have a host of hi-tech developments, and their road legal status means they have a myriad of different uses.

“The leisure market for these types of machines really exploded during the UK’s first lockdown as people looked to maximise their free time, so we feel the opportunity is there to gain new customers for these exciting vehicles.”

Initial deliveries start in December 2020 as Dualways, the official importer, set up a network of Segway Powersports dealerships throughout the UK.
