What
is a Segway? A Segway is:
 |
Easy to use and
operate, the two-wheeled Segway sports high-tech gyroscopes that
automatically respond to your body's movements, "sensing" when it
should speed up and slow down. |
|
|
You stand on a small
platform between left and right wheels as you hold onto handlebars
at a comfortable waist height. The Segway handles the balancing
for you, so that you're always upright as you glide through any
environment. |
|
|
Designed to operate in
any pedestrian environment. It's new, it's cool, safe and easy to
use, plus a ton of fun! The perfect way to see the Bay City. |
| |
|
Ready, Set, Let's Glide! Your means of San
Francisco sightseeing should be as unique as your destination. If

an unforgettable way to experience the City by the Bay!

locations on the waterfront. A city as unique as San Francisco demands a
one-of-a-kind way to tour it. And the Segway is the answer!
