Rider Requirements:

The San Francisco Segway Tour has only a few restrictions. Riders must:

  • Ages 12 and up, guests under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. (If you are concerned about mobility issues Please call us to discuss. We want every rider to have a safe tour.) Pregnant guests are not allowed on the tour.
  • Be able to easily and quickly step on and off the Segway without assistance, which requires physical abilities similar to climbing and descending stairs without any assistance or use of a handrail. You will be standing for 2 hours.
  • Weigh between 100 and 250 pounds (45 to 113 kilos)
  • Wear the helmet and safety vest that is provided with the tour.
  • Sign a liability waiver.
  • Complete the Segway rider training and test ride.
  • Respect road signs, pedestrians, bikes and cars for a safe enjoyable ride.

Training Session:

Riding a Segway is similar to riding a bike—it's intuitive but nobody is born knowing how to operate it. That's why the tour time includes 35-45 minutes of rider training so you can get comfortable on the Segway before we head out on the route.

The training session provides first-time riders with the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to safely operate the Segway. You'll be guided through a simulated obstacle course of cones, turns, and an emergency stop to ensure a safe, enjoyable experience. Training includes:

  • Hands-on training with an instructor, introductory video, test ride and skills review, rider courtesy instruction and review of the rules of the road.
