The "Segway" battery-powered personal transport vehicle is BRILLIANT!
It has two wheels side by side, with a computer-controlled motor for each. You stand on the platform, and hold a pair of bicycle-type handlebars at the top of an attached pole. Instinctive body movements make it speed up, slow down or stop, and a gyroscope keeps it balanced. Twisting the handgrips makes it turn a corner. In June last year, I went on a two-hour tour of Austin on one of these, along with about six other people, and we had a fab time. Try it if you ever get the chance.

I think you mean the small electric 2-wheeled vehicle called segway. In some cities in the US it use by the Police to patrol city parks (they have them here in Chicago.)
The word "segue" (Italian for "follows") is used in English as a musical term, and sometimes in logic. But I don't think this spelling is the one you wanted to know about.

The previous answers being correct, I would like to add that a segue ceases to be a segue once it is mentioned, in that it must be a _silent_ transition between actions, or whatever.

I think you mean "segue;" although it's pronounced the way you wrote it.
In music, it means to go directly from one section to the next, with no pause.
It actually means pretty much the same thing in conversation, literature, acting,etc.

Your other answers are very helpful and largely accurate.
The word is derived from the Latin 'sequor', to follow, which is also where our word 'sequence' comes from.
