ELECTRIC GLIDE TOURS, LLC
BUSHNELL, FLORIDA

A human being should weigh at least 95 pounds to take a guided tour. If you’re interested in a Segway Experience, we have instructed children weighing as little as 70 pounds. Obviously, we have to cap the weight at a particular number. That number would be a range between 260 and 300 pounds. Why a “range?” There’s a big difference between a 300 pound couch potato and a 300 pound athlete. The restriction is for the safety of the person as well as the machine. The batteries and motors are only designed to handle a limited amount of weight. Think of it like this: You wouldn’t pull a 40ft RV with a Prius. Equally important as the weight of a person is his or her shape. If a human being has a large girth, it is simply not safe to ride a Segway. Here’s our rule: If you cannot fit comfortably in a coach airplane seat, it may not be safe for you to ride a Segway. We feel that most people know his or her limitations and we are happy to have a discreet conversation with you in person or over the phone before you book a ticket with us. Yes. There is no eating, drinking, smoking, vaping or use of your cell phone while you stand on the Segway. We provide free of charge high resolution pictures of your experience, so we do not allow photos or videotaping while you stand on the Segway Most importantly, wear athletic shoes. We do not allow flip-flops or heels of any kind. Some heels can damage the Segways and you cannot ride with an elevated heel. Your foot must be flat on the surface of the machine. Wear clothing comfortable for the weather the day of your tour. If you tend to be cold, bring a sweater or light jacket. If you don’t need it, we’ll place it in the bag on the handlebar. Small purses are allowed, but you must stow them in the aforementioned handlebar bag. We do NOT allow backpacks, scarves or anything that could change your balance or catch on things while you ride. Do not bring an expensive camera. We do not allow photos to be taken while you stand on the Segway. We are not responsible for valuables you bring with you. Lock them in your car or leave them at home or your hotel Do you provide helmets? Yes. We provide standard bike helmets. Our helmets are cleaned after each guest and rotated so you most likely will not use a helmet used earlier that day. If you wish to bring your own helmet, as long as it is a standard bike helmet, you may do so. Actually, they're not. Our pricing is $20 less than the National average for a 90-minute or 2-hour guided Segway tour. In the nearly 5 years we've been in business, we have NEVER raised our prices. Our training is second to none and we provide an experience that is not only safe, but fun for (most) ages and ability levels. There are companies that offer specials or drastically discounted ticket prices. We urge you to take great caution and inquire about safety before you book with such companies. We also urge you to check the quality of the equipment you will be riding. One standard Segway is nearly $7,000 USD, so we ask you, “How much do you think is should cost to ride this amazing piece of technology?” Our machines are name-brand/actual Segway PTs. Segways are the best 2-wheeled/self balancing machines you can ride and ours are maintained to the highest standards. Would you expect anything less for the safety of your loved ones? There is an old saying in business: You get what you pay for. Remember this when you hand your hard-earned money to a small business. Any small business, not just a Segway tour company. You need to call us as soon as possible. The tour guide has to make arrangements and cannot wait for you to arrive. It's not fair to the guests who are also waiting for you. We recommend you map the route from your location to the tour location as early as possible and plan accordingly. If you do not have the ability to map the route, just give us a call and we will tell you how long it will take to get to us. We don't want you to miss out on this amazing experience, so we're here to help! How do I know which Segway tour company to choose? This is a GREAT question and one we answer all the time. The answer is not brief, so please read carefully. If you're a first-timer, then make sure the company you choose is safe. The fun comes later, but you don't want to risk the safety of your loved ones with a company with shoddy equipment or tour guides who don't train well and with patience or who hurry through the training process. Riding a Segway can be safer than riding a bicycle even if it is your first time, but training is key as well as how the tour guide manages the tour. We believe these are the elements that make our process the best in the industry. Check out what other sites say about their safety record, if they even mention it. You've heard the horror stories, but those incidents could have been avoided with proper training as well as the proper management of the tour. As with anything, accidents can happen, but when you take a tour with us, we'll teach you just what you need to know so that you'll have a great time AND you'll be safe. Of course, if you break rules, do things the tour guide said not to do or act silly while riding, then you increase your chance of having an accident. We promise to ALWAYS do our part to keep you safe. Then you can simply have fun on our tours. How do I know which Segway tour company to choose?
