Rules of the Road for Segways in San Francisco: Segways are not allowed on sidewalks in San Francisco. We only offer guided tours. We use a combination of designated bike paths and low speed-light traffic streets to conduct our guided tours.

We stress courtesy, rules of the road and common sense when riding a Segway in the city. The San Francisco Electric Tour Company advocates safe tour routes, careful Segway use and detailed rider education. We want a positive tour experience for our guests and encourage respect for residents and visitors sharing the roads, sidewalks and bike paths in the city.

Eco Friendly Touring: Our goal is to let guests enjoy riding an eco-friendly Segway, see more sights that they could cover on foot and have lots of fun. An added benifit for the environment is a few less tour buses on the streets of the city each day. The San Francisco Electric Tour company will be solar powered in 2008!

Who can ride a Segway? Are Segways safe for children or people with disabilities?

Riding a Segway is similar to riding a bike-it's intuitive but nobody is born knowing how to operate it. That's why the tour includes 35-45 minutes (estimated) of training so you can get familiar with riding a Segway.
