With quick acceleration/deceleration and a zero turning radius the Segway is extremely maneuverable even in crowded areas. Get around quicker than on foot and with less effort than a bicycle. Not just a convenient way to get around, the Segway is fun too.

[Update 7/22/12] Segway of Oaksterdam have updated their fleet to the latest “X2 generation” with off-road tires. They will clean the Segway for you. They’re also throwing in a Vaporizer with every rental. The handling fee for Grand Sierra pickup and drop-off is $200.

unlike past years these are x2’s with the lean steer handling and the best off-road tires. These units get around like nothing else ever made and this is one of the most eco-friendly powered vehicle anywhere because of it’s extreme light weight and small size.

…you’ll have an opportunity to try the miniVAP vaporizer, the most exclusive unit on the market. With all new glass-free technology the miniVAP reaches better temperature control and has better purity than other vaporizer portables such as the Magic Flight vaporizer, Vapexhale Cloud vaporizer, Arizer Solo vaporizer, or other leading portable vaporizer brands.
