Segway Xtreme offers short rides and fully guided tours at affordable rates. Or fully guided tours through the picturesque, ever changing Mackenzie town of Twizel.
Segway Xtreme is a Lake Tekapo based mobile business offering exciting off road Segway rides for young and old.
The Segway Personal Transporter (PT) is unique – there has never been anything similar before. It is a self-balancing personal transportation device which harnesses some of the most advanced, thoroughly tested technology ever created.
Segways require no special skills to use, as the inbuilt computers take care of the balancing part for you, meaning virtually anyone can use one. They are very simple to use and take only minutes to get to grips with. To go forward, all you have to do is lean forwards, and the opposite for reverse. To turn to the right, simply lean the handlebar to the right and the opposite for left. It really couldn’t be easier!
The model that we run at Segway Xtreme is the Segway x2, which is the latest specification off-road version. They have rugged looking wheel arches, wide wheels and huge inflatable off road tyres. The machines can operate on grass or hard surface and have no trouble on rougher dirt tracks either.
Half the enjoyment of a ride is learning how to master these futuristic self-balancing machines and within a minute or two you will find that you too can have the ‘Segway smile’; a frequent comment is “Wow, this is so much easier than it looks”.
