Who can ride a Segway? Are Segways safe for children or people with disabilities?

Riding a Segway is similar to riding a bike-it's intuitive but nobody is born knowing how to operate it. That's why we offer 30 -45 minutes of training so you can get familiar with the most innovative transportation device of the new millennium! A Segway is not an ideal mode of touring for people with some mobility issues.

All guests must be able to easily and quickly step on and off the Segway without any assistance, which requires physical abilities similar to climbing and descending stairs without assistance or use of a handrail. Rider must be able to operate the steering control with his or her left hand.

Segway riding is not recommended for pregnant women. Unfortunately, pregnant women will not be permitted to participate.

The Segway is not appropriate for those weighing under 100 pounds or over 250 pounds(46-113 kilos.) Helmets are provided and required.
