The Segway Human Transporter has captivated the public's attention since March 2003. The Segway is the worlds first and only self balancing electric transport mechanism. Forward and backward maneuvering is guided by rider's natural motions. Emissions and noise free touring, powered by rechargeable LIoN battery packs. Segways are more manuverable and stop faster than bikes.

News: Our NEW i2 Segway Fleet Is Here ! Come experience the new Segway i2 with Lean Steer Technology on all of our San Francisco Tours.

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.

Enjoy Eco Friendly Touring! Our goals are 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!
