Segway Madrid 64 precios y ofertas 2025

Riding on a segway is one of the most entertaining ways of doing a sightseeing tour through Madrid without getting tired, using a wheeled device instead of going on foot. We will show you here the different areas to do Segway in Madrid, places to rent them, guided tours and some tips to manage this two-wheeled device.

The segway is an individual, electric vehicle which is perfect for the city, as it doesn’t emit sounds or polluting emissions. You operate the device while standing up, gripping your hands to the handlebar, and leaning your body to move across the ground. When leaning your body on forward, the segway will understand that you want to move on forward, then it comes into operation. However, it has a horizontal stable position that makes its operation easier. To change the direction, you must only lean to the right or the left with your body and your hands on the handlebars.

In general, children from 8 years old can ride on a Segway, but the company will usually tell you the minimum age accepted to participate in the tour, possibly around the age of 10 or 12 years old. This requirement is necessary because a minimum height must be reached to operate the vehicle.

When doing a segway tour, you will be given all the instructions to operate it. The instructor usually gives a 5-minute lesson at least to explain to the group the basic controls of this device. You will be shown how to break at the right time by leaning your body slightly backward. You will also be given a helmet to make sure you will be safe at all times. However, there will be any danger if you always pay attention to the explanations by the instructor.

Because of the characteristic of the segway, it can be driven by the city center. That is why most tours can ride across the most important points of the city.
