Yes! Absolutely! Everyone gets proper Segway training before the tour and we don’t start the tour until you feel comfortable. After just a few minutes the Segway connects to your nervous system (as Avatars do : ) and riding becomes natural and intuitive. Even kids 7 years old or seniors 80+ can operate it safely.
In any case we will offer you a test drive (free of charge) before you will go on tour. Extra time for private training will be provided too.

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.
