What you need for a Segway tour

A Segway tour needs more than the Segways and helmets. Prepare protective gear, route information, water, packed lunches, and a clear setup for registration and safety instructions. Plan quantities from your participant list, then add spare items for late changes or damaged equipment. The list below covers what to buy or bring for the ride, the starting point, and the break afterward.

Tips

Provide one helmet for every participant and bring at least one spare helmet. Check sizes before the tour, because replacing equipment at the starting point takes time.
Bring one reflective vest per rider, plus traffic cones to mark the practice area and starting point. Set up the closed practice course before participants arrive.
Plan at least 1.5 litres of water per person for the tour, using water jugs or refillable cups. Chill drinks in coolers with ice packs before registration starts.
Pack one lunch for each registered participant and add two spare portions for late confirmations or damaged packs. Use reusable plates, cutlery, napkins, and serving spoons at the break.
Print one route map per participant or pair, and charge power banks before departure. Waterproof phone cases prevent route information and phones from being ruined by rain or spills.

Frequently asked questions

How many Segways do I need for a tour?: You need one Segway for each riding participant, plus at least 1 spare if the group is large or the tour lasts several hours. Confirm the final participant count before reserving the equipment.
How much water should I bring for a Segway tour?: Plan 1.5 litres of water per person for a standard tour, and add another 0.5 litre per person in warm weather. Bring extra cups or use reusable cups at the start and lunch stop.
How many route maps should I print?: Print one route map per participant, or one for every pair if the group will stay together with a guide. Prepare the maps at least one day before the tour so route changes can still be made.
What safety equipment is needed for a Segway tour?: Prepare a helmet for every rider, one spare helmet, and knee and elbow pads where required. Also bring reflective vests, traffic cones for practice, a first aid kit, and waterproof phone cases.
