Are there any weight restrictions on Segway tours?
In the Segway PT user’s manual written: minimum rider’s weight is 100 lbs(45 Kg), maximum allowed weight is 260 lbs (117 kg). We do not use segways in high-speed mode on tours in a safety reasons. All the tours going in the beginner’s “safety mode” with a maximum speed limit 12 km/h.
In fact our staff did rode a segway (not on tours, but during tests and entertainment) up to 180 kg (2 people on one segway) and there were not any malfunction.
In any case it’s your personal decision – use segway or not. We just should warn you. Before the tour each participant must sign the Waiver Agreement that he/she is informed about.
Nevertheless we keep the right not to allow kids lighter than 30-35 kg take part in a tour. Thank you for the understanding.
Alternatively we can offer you e-scooters (looks like a bike, but without pedals). There are no weight restrictions on it.
