: What is Segway?
It's new a one-person vehicle (only I think it's not referred to as a vehicle) that can be used on the sidewalk. www.segway.com/
And I'm guessing the name came from meaning No. 1 (Merriam-Webster online):
segue

Pronunciation: 'se-(")gwA, 'sA-
Function: verb imperative
Etymology: Italian, there follows, from seguire to follow, from
Latin sequi -- more at SUE

1 : proceed to what follows without pause -- used as a direction
in music
2 : perform the music that follows like that which has preceded
-- used as a direction in music
