Segway of Oakland is offering lessons to new riders, so hurry now! Hurry and call us now because we are the only Northern California dealer that offers onsite lessons and training, and also because learning to ride a Segway is easy and a lot of fun!
We are the only Dealer in Northern California that offers onsite lessons and training in addition to private onsite training for individuals as well as tours and training with guides. And since the vast majority of people don't know how to ride a Segway, the way most people experience their first Segway ride is through a tour or other guided rental. Segway tours almost always include a substantial amount of introduction and beginner level training.
Segway Tours that include training are available at several locations through Northern California as well as throughout the world. Recognizing that only a few people know the basics of how to operate a Segway, such as how to turn a Segway on, these Segway tours companies are really Segway training centers. However, many people still shy away from trying a Segway because there are not a lot of options for training. Generally people would need to go on a tour to learn how to ride a Segway, but that generally means training with a lot of other people which requires that them to learn it at the same speed as the group.
Segway tours are the most accessible way to learn to ride the Segway, and thankfully in the Bay Area there are many other options because of Segway of Oakland. Onsite training for businesses and agencies such as law enforcement agencies are available as well as onsite private training for individuals. For anyone needing or wanting private Segway riding instruction, Segway of Oakland has the most experienced personnel. Segway of Oakland can offer a wide range of Segway training services.
A lot of people prefer private instruction and may not be as interested in taking a tour. You can rent the Segway for a day or a week, and in a lot of cases, private lessons and instruction can be included as a part of the rental, so you can skip the tour and just focus in the lesson and the riding. Segway of Oakland even offers delivery and training at the event or location where you want to use the Segway, and they have both the wide tired Segway X2 and the narrow tired Segway i2.
We also offers the lowest priced guided lessons and tours at Jack London Square and Lake Merritt in Oakland. The pathways in Oakland are actually a lot freer of cars and congestion than in many other areas, and the routes at Jack London Square offer great views of the Bay and Estuary in one of the better parts of Oakland. The route is easier than at most other tour locations, and because it's right next to our warehouse in Oakland, you can get three hours of training and then riding time for only $65. Further, Segway of Oakland has special deals that allow new riders to get midweek training and rentals for as low as $35.

Segway of Oakland’s New Bay Area Segway Rentals

Segways are for rent everywhere by tour companies and all kinds of tour operators that offer Segway tours and Lessons, but only a few dealers offer Segways just for rent. Now people can rent Segways from us, Segway of Oakland, for events or for daily, weekly, or monthly. It's the only place in the Bay Area where people can pick Segways up for rent, and now we also offer rental delivery anywhere in the Bay Area.
Renting a Segway is tons of fun. The Segway is the world's first self-balancing scooter, and riding one is very easy. However, because this vehicle is totally unique, it does take a little practice and a lesson from an experienced and trained Segway tour guide to help new riders get going. We offer one-on-one personal lessons that can help new riders get up and going on a Segway in no time at all.
“When you rent a Segway from us you get the original Segway PT,” said Steven Steinberg, Co-Owner of Segway of Oakland. “Our veteran staff can teach you to ride on site, or in just about any convenient place. The Segway is adaptable so once you get going you'll find that it can go over a lot of different kinds of surfaces.”

Steinberg continued, “We have both the wide tired, off-road X2, and the narrow tired I series Segway that is better for maneuvering through crowds. Our units have lean-steer technology, which means you lean back and forth to steer and turn. These are the newer Generation 2 units, and we also have some of the older Generation 1 series Segways that use the twist grip steering, which we offer at special requests.”

Weekends and holidays book quickly so it's recommended that anyone wanting to rent a Segway reserve their rental units ahead of time. The rates are $99 a day, $199 a week, $399 for two weeks, and $729 for a whole month. The rental process is very easy, and all we need is your driver’s license, a major credit card, and a signature for each Segway that you rent.

We also provide onsite private Segway lessons, so for anyone wanting to learn how to ride and would rather have private instruction, they will do that onsite as well (Bay Area only). For law enforcement enterprises and personnel, we even have special rental rates that are 25% lower on average, and we offer special training for law enforcement personnel.

Segway of Oakland and Bay Area Segway have been renting, selling, and servicing Segways for longer than just about anybody.
