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. |
