We were in Nashville to look at a boat we were interested in buying and I checked the Internet for 'Things To Do In Nashville' - Found lots of attractions, museums and the like and about #15 on the list was 'Take a Segway Tour of Nashville' so I got to looking into that and found a 4 hour tour which encompasses several museums
Neither Carolyn or I had ever seen a Segway in person, let alone ever set foot on one. She wasn't for it at all - 'I'll fall off and break my leg' so it took some convincing, but eventually she acquiesced and agreed to give it a try. Watched a 10 minute video, got about 15 minutes of indoor practice before our tour guide took us out on the sidewalks of Nashville. What a blast! Half hour into the tour, she says 'I want one of these!' - I said you know we can't get just one . . . . .
So, we bought a pair. Our first excursion on them was a ten mile ride around Tarpon Springs Florida - We were there to look at another boat. Really wish we had bought these 10 years ago. Anything this much fun must be illegal!
I was a bit surprised to learn that they also incorporate regenerative braking - Range is in excess of 20 miles with batteries which are in good shape
They have tours in most major cities - Go give it a try, but beware . . . . it could get expensive! :lol:
