What is a Segway?

Segway is the first electrically powered self-balancing personal transport system. Smaller than the average adult, with the ability to mimic human balance, a Segway takes up the same space as a pedestrian and can go to all the places you can reach on foot.

Segway is a new concept in personal transport, it is not a toy but it adds an element of fun to getting around, making your commute more productive and shorter.

Who can ride a Segway?

Segways are designed to be used by all kinds of people once they have undergone a short training session (no special abilities needed).

Segway recommends users be at least 16 years of age or above.
