Introduction: What exactly is Segway?

A Segway is a new type of transport. It was originally developed to reduce urban traffic. Since it has not yet become established as a daily means of transport, it is now considered a kind of fashionable vehicle.

You may already be familiar with the small vehicles on which people glide through the city centres standing up: On a Segway, you stand on two adjacent wheels and hold onto a handlebar. The vehicle is electronic and keeps itself in balance. You accelerate and brake merely by shifting your weight. The wheels turn in the direction in which the rider leans.

A Segway can reach speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour. Even when driving slowly or standing still, the vehicle remains stable. How far the Segway will take you depends on several factors: the weight of the rider, gradients and the way you ride. On average, you can expect a range of about 20 kilometers.

The Segway was originally designed for urban transport, for example commuters or errands. Probably it has not yet established itself as a means of mass transportation due to its high price. At present, Segways are mainly used for city tours, on the golf course and as fun sports.

Can I drive a Segway?

Segway use has been officially approved since 2009. You need to have the permission to drive a moped. You fulfill this requirement with your car driving license. You should avoid roads outside of towns.

In Spain the rules are a bit different. In the south everyone is allowed to ride. Provided the rider weighs between 45 and 118 kilograms and is fully mentally conscious. Only pregnant women are not allowed to participate.

For your own safety you should not wear high heels or flip-flops. A helmet is usually provided by the Segway rental company.

How fast can I learn to ride a Segway?

A Segway can be operated intuitively. It moves through body movements and weight shifting. Some participants master the balancing act after several minutes. The nice thing about it: nothing can happen to you. The device will even forgive you gross mistakes.

As with any activity, practice makes perfect: Take curves, accelerate and brake. After a few minutes, your body will react intuitively. When you lean forward, the Segway accelerates. Lean back, it slows you down.

With a Segway Tour Mallorca you don't need to have any previous knowledge. At the beginning of the Segway Tour Mallorca you will receive a thorough briefing from the guide. Only when all participants are ready, the Sightseeing Tour Mallorca starts.
