Segway

[KarenH]

Because of the expense, I would recommend that if possible, you join a Segway tour somewhere. You will be instructed how to ride it, and then you will get to ride it "in the wild."

My first couple times on a Segway were on smooth, flat pavement in a small area like a large room or driveway. Riding one on sidewalks, roadways, up and down ramps, and over a bridge was a very different experience. It definitely changed my opinion of the Segway.

You wouldn't buy a car without a test drive; I would not recommend that you buy a Segway without a test ride. It looks cool, but you'll only really know if you like it after you've been riding one for an hour or two.
