I have never ridden a Segway. Is it difficult to ride a Segway?

Training is provided prior to the tour. To move forward or backward on the Segway, the rider leans slightly forward or backward. To turn left or right, the rider simply moves the LeanSteer frame left or right. You get the sense of power and speed, yet you also feel a sense of safety and absolute control. It all feels natural, safe, and instinctive.

How do I hear the tour guide?

We use a wireless sound system so that all riders can hear the tour guide. Speakers are built into the helmets provided by SegAway tours.

What type of shoes should I wear?

Wear tennis shoes or other comfortable flat sole, closed toe shoes. Shoes with heels, "shape up" shoes and "flip flops" are not recommended.

After the training, if you feel that you are not able to ride a Segway, you will receive a refund for the full cost of the tour. No refunds will be given once the tour departs from the training area.
