Segway Makes Financing Available For Commercial Customers


Susquehanna Commercial Finance, Inc. has been selected by Segway Inc. as a preferred financing company for commercial customers purchasing Segway Personal Transporters (PTs). The selection allows Susquehanna Commercial Finance, Inc. to provide efficient financing options to help businesses, municipalities, and other commercial customers acquire Segway PTs more than 100 dealers in the U.S. and Canada, based on participation.

“The flexible financing we offer gives government agencies, security firms and other businesses a new option to acquire the Segway PTs that can add greater convenience and efficiency to their operations,” said Donna Wesemann, vice president of sales for Susquehanna Commercial Finance. “Businesses now have the option to finance their Segway PTs for a monthly expense, as opposed to purchasing them as part of their capital budgets. We’re excited to partner with Segway to make these innovative vehicles available and even more affordable to commercial clients across the country.”

The Segway PT transportation device is being adopted by many companies and municipal organizations to increase productivity and reduce costs. To date, more than 400 police and security agencies worldwide are using Segway products to patrol airports, transit stations, manufacturing facilities, shopping malls, and campuses. The Segway PT also offers increased mobility to employees in large industrial and retail facilities and allows workers at hotels and resorts to reduce response times and increase customer satisfaction.

“The options that Susquehanna Commercial Finance offer to our commercial customers will help Segway and its dealers expand the access to our products,” said Jason Barton, vice president of global sales, Segway Inc. “I think customers will find that Susquehanna’s financing expertise will help them get their Segway PT implementation underway quickly and conveniently.”
