Tour Re-routing and Weather:
The tour operator reserves the right to change the size of the tour to meet requests for that specific day. San Francisco is famous for the fog! Their tours run fog, rain or shine. It is recommended to wear multiple layers of warm clothing for any San Francisco activity. Summer afternoons can be in the 50's. Rain gear is available for those infrequent rainy days. Segways® are designed to run in any weather. If seasonal fog /weather obscures the view, tour routes may be altered. You will not be charged if the tour operator cancels a tour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a Segway®? How does it work?
A: The Segway® Human Transporter is the first of its kind - a self-balancing, personal transportation device designed to go anywhere people do. Easy to use and operate, the two-wheeled Segway® sports high-tech gyroscopes that monitor your balance 100 times a second and automatically respond to your body's movements. To move forward, the rider simply leans forward. To stop or move backwards, the rider leans back slightly. The rider glides smoothly as the Segway® senses where you want to go.

Q: Does the tour go on the Golden Gate Bridge or "crooked "Lombard Street? What about those San Francisco hills? A: Your tour stays on the "flat parts" of the City. The Golden Gate Bridge and Lombard Street are better explored on foot. Segway® are allowed on most San Francisco streets and designated bike pathways. Segway® are not allowed on sidewalks in San Francisco. It is strongly stressed that all Segway® riders courteously "Share the Road" with other vehicles, bikes and pedestrians. It is the Segway® rider's responsibility to yield to pedestrians. Pedestrians have the right-of way.

Q: How long, fast and far can I ride?A: The Segway® has a top speed of about 8.5 miles per hour. A rider can average about 10 miles between battery charges. A fully charged battery will last with constant riding for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Riding times vary with hills, rider weight and speed. Segway® has two different keys that set the top speed. Your tour will begin cruising at no more than 4 mph. One additional key is used for slightly higher speeds and increase agility With urban streets speed is limited for a relaxed cruise.
