“Hubby & I did our first Segway tour yesterday , WHAT FUN ! Owner John couldn’t have been nicer . He and Jody set us up with Jennifer as our Guide . All 3 made sure we knew what we were doing before we zipped off for a Fantastic Hour of Fun around Walled Lake . The staff here is delightful . I’d highly recommend this recreational activity . We’re not the most coordinated folks – if hubby & I can do it – anyone can. Go for it”

“We were a family group of six adults, with two of us in our 60’s. We had a blast. None of us had ever experienced riding a Segway. Great Lakes Segway took good care of us and showed us how to ride by practicing starts, stops and turns before we left. The tour took us around part of Walled Lake on sidewalks and included time to ride around on our own at a local waterfront park. It was a great time. Riding a Segway is a really cool experience. I was pleasantly surprised and felt safer than I expected. Nice friendly staff, I definitely recommend!”

“Second time with a tour. This is a great way to experience using a Segway. John was personable and patient making sure we were all comfortable. You start with practice, allowing for all the time you need. This is followed by a led excursion to the local park on Walled Lake where you are free to ‘seg’ about before heading back to the shop. We had a great time and would (and do) recommend.”

“The tour was a lot of fun. I have never been on a Segway before. Jody made us very comfortable on the Segway and because of him everything went very smoothly. Walled lake is beautiful and the experience of going around on a Segway was amazing!!”

Segway Tour FAQs

The Segway Human Transporter is the first of its kind – a self-balancing, personal transportation device designed to go anywhere people do. Segways are easy to use and operate and usually takes new riders 10 minutes of training to learn. The two-wheeled Segway sports high-tech gyroscopes that monitor your balance 100 times a second and automatically respond to your body’s movements. To move forward, the rider simply leans forward. To stop or move backwards, the rider leans back slightly. The rider glides smoothly as the Segway senses where you want to go. We provide riders the i2 Segway with Lean Steer Segway Model

All first time customers are required to take a on board training session to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Training time is generally part of the overall tour time. Riders are trained on safe Segway operation and emergency stops. Training includes a 10 minute safety video. Riders are required to wear helmets.

The Segway has a top speed of 12.5 miles per hour. Some tours operate at slower more pedestrian friendly speeds. with Lion (Lithium Ion) batteries a rider can average about 24 miles between battery charges. A fully charged Lion ( Lithium Ion) battery will last with constant riding for approximately 6 hours.

Riding times vary with hills, rider weight and speed. Segway has key settings that limit the top speed. Most tours will start at a lower training / turtle speed setting. Each tour location determines the appropriate top speed for its local route and conditions. With many routes through crowded streets and city centers speed is reduced for a relaxed cruise and safety.

You can guarantee your ride time if you call ahead to schedule your Seg adventure. Call: 248-896-2600. Feel free to drop in the store anytime and take a ride if they are not currently being used.

We recommend: Comfortable shoes – no high heels. You will be standing and want to wear comfortable footwear. Feel free to bring a bag for your camera, wallet and water. Backpacks and messenger bags work great.

  • Age 12 is the youngest rider we accept.
  • Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult or guardian.
  • Weigh at least 100 lbs and not exceed 270. For guest safety minimum age and weight requirements are strictly enforced.
