The Adult and Kids Trail
Your fun trail will include an instructor who will also guide you around the park . You will receive short factual information on the trail you have chosen at either Aden or Haddo Country Park.
I don’t believe I can ride or balance on a Segway ..how difficult is it?
The Segway Powered Transporter is self balancing therefore we believe it’s easier than riding a bicycle even with stabilisers so the transporter will balance for you therefore you operate it forward or backwards ,left and right .
What’s the difference with the Segways with the handles and the Segways with knee bar?
The kneebar : A lot of riders don’t realise if you grip the steering bar bolster pads with your knees or any object that’s fixed onto a platform vertically and try to fall, it is very difficult to do so. Gripping onto the bar with your knees gives you more stability and probably more than the handlebar type . This hands free approach gives riders a fantastic riding experience .
The handlebar : The bar is where the riders just feel more comfortable holding onto something so we advise this type if anyone has suffered or has had any injuries to legs or hips .
Are the Segways the same as Hoverboards?
The Segways are very different and far more easier .They are fitted with a steering bar our Segways known as powered transporters so operate differently from the common hoverboard. The steering bar allows you to turn the Segway with the knees hence why adults feel more comfortable. Our view as the Segway is self balancing and best in the world,it is easier than riding a cycle .They have a more robust overall design . Having the added features of the steering bar to give support for balance allowing a more comfortable and confident ride.
How long is your fun Segway Guided tour/trail
Please plan to be with the Wheelie Fun team for approximately 90 mins based on 10 persons .For less participants will be minimum of 60mins although still can take up to 90minutes so we will advise at time of booking .You will receive an induction onto the Segways and practice session prior to going on your tour.
