LEAVE YOUR CAR AT HOME!
If you are travelling by yourself into or around the city, do yourself and
everyone else a favour and leave your car at home.
Discover a new way of moving, and reap the benefits -
NO petrol costs, NO parking fees, NO emissions!
It just makes a lot of sense, and did we mention its even fun?
Even a small car takes up as much space as TEN Segways, and you can pay for
your Segway over three years for the price of parking your car in town (@
$10.00 per day).
As Bob Dylan used to say, you don't need to be a weatherman to know which
way the wind blows... quite apart from any environmental issues like global
warming and clean air, which we can no longer afford to ignore, the time of
cheap gas is gone forever.
21st century technologies are set to change the way we live and move, and
one the first of these, designed from the outset to integrate with pedestrians
in an urban environment, is the Segway.
Designed and made in the USA, it could have been purpose built for New Zealand,
and Wellington in particular.
Our compact city centre, surrounded by a dress-circle of tightly knit suburbs,
and criss-crossed with a labyrinth of paths, zig-zags, lanes and walkways
is a Segway commuter's dream.
With a range of 25-35 km on a single charge, a fantastic hill-climbing ability
(Civic Square to the Wind Turbine in 28 minutes!), and a footprint only slightly
larger than yourself, this machine IS up to the challenge!
Perfect for Apartment living - ride it into your apartment straight out of
the lift, or use power assist mode to make light work of stair-climbing.
But don't take our word for it, CONTACT us to arrange
a no-obligation demonstration.

NZ research shows that (averaged over Auckland, Wellington & Christchurch)
in these cities a passenger car has a single occupant from 60.1 to
84.1% of the time. Of these single occupant trips, research into trip chaining reveals
that 13% are less than 2 KM, and fully 42% are less than 6
KM* *source: O’Fallon, C., Sullivan, C. 2005. Trip chaining: understanding how New Zealanders link their travel. Transfund New Zealand Research Report No. 268. 70pp
