What is a Segway?
The Segway is the first of its kind, self-balancing personal transportation designed to go anywhere you go. It requires no special skills and virtually anyone can ride one, as long as you can stand on two feet for an extended period of time. A Segway has balancing technology that is truly revolutionary and provides an exceptional riding experience. Segways have different levels of operation: the beginner level will limit the Segway to a maximum of 6 miles per hour, and the intermediate level can get up to 9 miles per hour. Segways are perfect for a day of sightseeing, or just to have some fun with your friends and family. It's not like being in a tour bus or car because you can actually enjoy the breeze and fresh air as if you're walking around town!
