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: How long, fast and far can I ride?
A: The Segway® has a top speed of about 8 miles per hour. A rider can average about 10 miles between battery charges. A fully charged battery will last with constant riding for approximately 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 4.5 mph. One additional key is used for slightly higher speeds and increase agility With urban streets speed is limited for a relaxed cruise.
