Although riding a Segway® is relatively easy, Washington, DC law does require that all riders be at least 16 years of age (an adult or guardian must accompany children under 18). Also, riders should have the ability to make motions such as climbing and descending stairs without assistance. The Segway® is not appropriate for those weighing under 100 pounds or over 250 pounds. Due to safety concerns, Segway tours are unfortunately not suitable for pregnant women.

No, unfortunately DC law requires all riders to be 16 or older.

Please arrive 30 minutes before the tour time. We use this time to get everyone comfortable with safely operating the Segway in a city environment. If you miss the training, you may not be permitted to join the tour.

This is primarily a riding tour. We will stop long enough for photos at the major sites, and take a short break roughly halfway through by the Lincoln Memorial. The goal is to take advantage of the Segway to see as much as possible.

Each rider will be provided with a top of the line radio headset unit, making it easy to hear the information being offered by the guide and guaranteeing an optimal tour experience.

We can operate with light rain or passing showers. If we anticipate heavier rain, lightning, or strong winds, we will reach out to attempt to reschedule. If no other time works and we cannot run the tour as planned, you will be eligible for a refund.

All Segway PT riders must sign a liability waiver before participating. Riders under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign for them.

Though you may have seen the sights before, you will still enjoy the unique experience of gliding around the Nation’s Capital on a Segway PT and seeing it all from a different perspective. Switch things up even more with Capital Segway’s Private VIP Tour.

We have bottled water available for purchase at our location before the tour. There is a bag on the Segway to bring along small possessions including snacks, but please keep in mind that there is very little idle time during the tour. There are several places to buy souvenirs close to our location after your tour.

We will return to our tour departure point at 818 Connecticut Avenue NW.

All regularly scheduled tours are conducted in English, but we also have German, French, Spanish, and ASL private tours available by request.

The Segway Personal Transporter (PT) is the first self-balancing, electric-powered transportation device. With dimensions no larger than the average adult body and the ability to emulate human balance, the Segway PT uses the same space as a pedestrian, and can go wherever a person can walk.

The utmost care and research has gone into ensuring that the Segway® is safe. The Segway PT’s balancing technology is truly revolutionary and provides an exceptional riding experience. The Segway® has redundant systems and sophisticated alerts built into its design, and many thousands of hours of use have demonstrated that the Segway® is safe when used appropriately. It is important that Segway® riders understand their responsibility to ride safely. Proper skill level and understanding of the Segway® prevents injuries caused by loss of control or misuse.We do not rent Segways for individual use.
