What
is a Segway®?
A Segway® is a two-wheeled, self-balancing, battery-operated human transportation
vehicle. It is operated in a standing position. It should not be confused with
a scooter, or cegway. It is a non-motorized, eco-friendly machine that uses
renewable credit energy during its operation. The Segway leaves no carbon
footprint on the environment. Go Green, Go Segway®!
Is it safe?
Absolutely! The marvelous thing about a Segway® is that it contains a gyroscope – allowing
the machine to self-balance in response to the rider's movements. They are not fool proof so there is room for error but after just a few minutes of our safety and operational training, you'll see how easy riding a Segway® can be!
Is a Segway® easy to ride?
A Segway is not only easy to ride, but it's also a lot of fun! Imagine covering a lot of territory – without expending a lot of energy. That's the beauty of riding a Segway®. They're clean, quiet, and you stand above the crowds. That
makes for great views, even if you're short! Couple that with our tour guide's narration, and you've got a fun and effortless way to take in the sights!
Can children ride?
Riding a Segway® is safe, even for children. However, we do require that all riders be at least 14 years of age. All riders under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Are there any weight restrictions?
In order to assure our riders' safety, there is a minimum weight requirement of 100 pounds. The maximum recommended weight limit as specified by the manufacturer, Segway®, Inc. is 260 pounds. In order to ride, your weight should fall somewhere within this range.
Are there any height requirements?
Our Segway® Personal Transporters have adjustable handlebars to make the ride safe and fun, regardless of
height.
Are there any other Requirements?
All participants are required to wear protective helmets at all times and sign waiver and release forms prior to departure.
Are there people who should NOT participate?
It is not recommended that pregnant women and any person with health restrictions, seizure disorders, intolerance or sensitivity to extreme heat and sun, or persons who have had recent prosthetic surgery participate in this activity. Riders must be capable of standing for extended periods of time. Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs is prohibited from riding.
