Are Segways able to go off-road? On trails?
Before we are led on our tour we get personal instructions on how to operate the X2 Segways.
I have been all over the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. I may be wrong, but I don't think there are all that many areas where something like a Segway would be allowed, just like how a mountain bike or golf cart would not be allowed.
And then there are the elevation changes. Do Segway's easily navigate elevation changes?
The information that comes with the Groupon says that riders must be able to make motions such as climbing and descending stairs without assistance.
Climb and descend stairs? What does one do with ones Segway whilst climbing and descending stairs?
Also the Groupon ad says riders must weigh between 100 and 275 pounds. I guess I need to lose some weight before I get on a Segway.
It will be interesting to see how this Segway ride through the Botanic Garden works.
I saw a Segway once, zipping along a bike path while I passed it on the street on my bike. Frankly, it seemed like an over elegant solution to a problem that was solved a hundred years ago.
ReplyDeleteI had a boss that worked on the Segway and swore by them. However, he drove to work in a car and I rode my bike, so his credibility is somewhat suspect.
