No 'special skills' are needed to learn to ride Segways and there are no complicated controls to learn, however, for safety and practical reasons there are some limitations that have to be placed on users :
Terms & Conditions (as set out on ‘Who Can Do It’ page) plus also see Additional Terms & Conditions (below) :
* The Segway is a very safe machine to use if handled correctly and if the training advice is followed, however, there are risks and in accordance with our insurance requirements and standard safety procedures we do require you to dress appropriately (not long or very baggy clothing and ‘sensible secure’ footwear - not flip flops for example) and to wear a safety helmet which will be provided.
* You don’t need to be fit or ‘sporty’ but you do need to be able to step on and off the Segway unassisted - if can go up and down steps without help or needing to hold onto a handrail then you will be fine, and you do need to be able to lean and be comfortable standing for the duration of the session.
* Children from age 8 years old upwards can enjoy a Segway ride - under 16 year olds must be accompanied on the session by an adult (except for 20 minute trial sessions and Parties).
* There are also weight limits for rider safety and to avoid damage to the Segway as follows -
Max rider weight 260 lbs (18.5 st) 117 kg
* Riding Segways is also not suitable for pregnant women or if you have a serious health condition.
