Segway Tours Frequently Asked Questions

What are Segways?

Segways are self-balancing, zero-emissions, noiseless personal transporters, with a maximum speed of 12.5 miles per hour / 20 kilometres per hour. They are high-tech devices, initially introduced in 2001 and over time developed further with enhanced balancing and safety features. Segways are great fun to ride; you get the feeling that you are gliding effortlessly on a magic carpet. Riding a Segway is also a very efficient way to experience a city in a limited amount of time, visiting areas and sights that would otherwise take a couple of days to see. For more information on the Segway, you may visit the manufacturer’s website at www.segway.com.

Are there age / weight limits to ride the Segway?

Yes. Riders must be above 45kg, and below 115kg, according to manufacturer specifications. Minimum age to go on the Segway Station tour is 14 years old. Anyone below 16 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. We have a 15-minute training and orientation session at the start of each tour, to ensure that everyone is comfortable riding a Segway. In this orientation session we emphasize safe riding practices that everyone must follow.

Is a reservation needed to take part in a Segway Station tour?

Since the tours have limited capacity and are very popular, it is advisable to reserve. Alternatively you could make your way to the Segway Station, but may have to wait for the next available spaces on a tour. Having said that, you could always relax in our cafe/lounge area while you wait.

Do you accept group bookings for corporate events?

We would be delighted to organise Segway tours or make Segways available as part of your corporate teambuilding or promotional events at special rates, please contact us for further discussion.

What is your cancellation policy?

You may cancel your reservation at least 48 hours (2 days) before your scheduled booking, in which case we offer a full refund. Within 48 hours of your scheduled booking, we do not offer any refunds. It is very important that you try to arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled booking. If someone does not turn up for their scheduled tour, their booking is terminated and no refunds are given.

Do the tours take place if it is raining?

Yes. We hand out ponchos and proceed with the tour. This is rarely necessary however, given the mild and sunny Cyprus climate.

Is there anything else to keep in mind?

Yes. Your full attention is needed when riding a Segway. No smoking or use of mobile phones is allowed while riding, and any inappropriate behaviour by a tour participant will lead to their participation being cancelled with no refund given, as well as a permanent ban from Segway Station. Finally, please note that high-heeled shoes are not suitable for riding a Segway, so please remember to wear comfortable shoes and clothing.
