Segway to the River

Minneapolis You can tour the Minneapolis riverfront on a Segway again this year. Mobile Entertainment LLC of Minneapolis has 27 of the one-person, two-wheel, gyro-balanced electric transporters for navigating asphalt and concrete paths along the Mississippi and across its bridges. Three-hour tours cost $70 per person.

After half an hour of safety training, guides take riders out in groups of up to 20 or so to cover five miles of riverfront. Prerecorded tour narration plays from a sound system on each Segway, but sometimes the guide breaks in with a live presentation.

The oldest rider so far has been 94 years old. Anybody can ride, claims Emily Neuenschwander, chief financial officer with Mobile Entertainment.

"Once you get on, all it is is leaning forward to move forward," said Neuenschwander. "Really, it's the same movement as leaning forward to walk. And leaning back to stop."

Turns, however, are not so intuitive. And sometimes riders forget that the wheeled vehicles are wider than the rider and have trouble squeezing between, say, a park bench and a parking meter.

Segway tours of the Minneapolis riverfront started last year. Time magazine notes that Segway tours in other cities, including Paris, have emerged as well.
