What's a Segway, you ask? It's a self-balancing personal transportation vehicle, a two-wheeled device that is being used across the nation for commuting and recreational purposes.
One of the first questions that comes up when people see a Segway is, "How do you balance with only two wheels?" The Segway does all the work, because once a rider steps onto the standing platform, the Segway balances itself with a complicated system of internal gyroscopes. The rider's job is easy: he or she leans forward to move forward, leans back to reverse, and grips the steering handles to turn. According to Fortune Magazine, "Using a Segway is so intuitive that it feels as though the thing has somehow been plugged into your central nervous system."
The excitement and technology of the Segway Tour experience is a fun, safe, informative activity not to be missed. They're easy to ride. Helmets are provided.
