In an ambitious and eye-catching experiment, police personnel in western India's Maharashtra are using a fleet of Segway electric scooters to patrol the busy streets of Mumbai. <br /><br />A group of Segway-riding officers were caught on camera at Marine Drive promenade in Mumbai on June 11. <br /><br />The video shows the police personnel on the self-balancing, battery-powered electric two-wheelers that are hoped will help them cover more distance in an eco-friendly manner. <br /><br />According to sources, this manner of patrolling will also help to control the busy crowd at Nariman Point & Worli promenades. <br /><br />Reports suggest Bandra, Juhu and Versova will be covered next by Segway patrolling. <br /><br />According to police officials, the Segway is very effective, as it is very small and nimble, coupled with that is the fact that it can be reversed.
