If you are looking for a really unusual experience you must give Segways a try! These computer controlled, battery powered, gyroscope balancing vehicles have proved to be hugely popular in the USA and urban areas across the world. You stand upright on the Segway and then lean in the direction you want to go. The vehicle instantly reacts and gently propels you in the chosen direction.
Capable of up to 12.5 mph these are certainly not toys. You will learn to trust the vehicles technology and will need to overcome your initial desire to step off - the Segway will outperform you!
Suitable for 2 or 3 people and lasting a solid hour, you will ride your Segway across our 100 acre activity centre and then off into the picturesque surrounding Warwickshire countryside. The hour will start with an initial training session to get used to how the Segways operate. Then on to some gentle grass slopes and corners to boost your confidence.
After the basics have been mastered the trek proceeds up to our woodland area and out into the surrounding countryside.
The trek is suitable for either:
Three adults
Two adults
Two adults and a child
One adult and two children
Taller than 1.34 metres (4 foot 4½ inches)
Between 45 and 117 kg in weight (7 - 18.5 stone)
Not pregnant
Not suffering from any pre-existing or existing injury or any medical condition that prohibits participation in any sport/motorsport or other energetic pastime.
Segways are fairly straight forward to ride and most people will be confident with them within a few minutes. You don't need physical strength or driving experience.
