Segways are easy to ride and your experienced guide will get you up and going in no time. The Operator has had customers up to 87 years old and customers who can’t ride bikes – all have managed the Segways just fine.

Unless it’s a really hot day, then bring an extra layer than what you would wear if going for a walk. You can leave it in your Segway bag if you don’t need it. In Winter, warm socks and shoes are recommended, along with beanies, gloves and jackets. The Operator has spare gloves for those that need them.

The Segways run on electric motors powered by rechargeable batteries which last many years. The energy for this is sourced from a clean, renewable energy source, hydropower, making it very environmentally friendly.

The meeting point is the Ben Lomond Track Trailhead at One Mile Powerhouse Car Park, 130 Lake Esplanade.

A 1 minute drive or 10 minute walk from town at the end of Lake Esplanade you come to a roundabout with 3 major exits and a dirt road exit. The dirt road exit has a sign to indicate the One Mile Powerhouse.  Go up the road into the car park area to meet your guide, who will be there 5 mins before your booking time.
