I recognize that this Tour Orientation is a partial introduction to the features and functions of the Segway PT and is NOT the complete Product Orientation provided to Segway PT purchasers who use their machines independent of a Segway Tour Guide. I acknowledge that I need to ride conservatively, avoid abrupt maneuvers, and avoid riding in any area designated “off limits” by the Tour Operator.
