Segway of Oakland Offers Polo Lessons & Training for Company Events


For the most unique event available, try Segway Polo. A Segway Polo event is tons of fun and so unique that nobody will ever forget it. For a limited time through June, book ten Segway units, with personnel, near Oakland's Jack London Square for only $1400.

Segway Polo is a relatively new sport that has advocates such as Steve Wozniak and George Clark who are dedicated because of the excitement and fun that the game provides. Segway Polo is played in a very similar manner to traditional polo horseback, but the horses are replaced by Segways. It is actually a much different game because the Segway adds a unique attribute that you can't get from any other activity. Steve Wozniak describes how it got started, "We started out trying to emulate horse polo and bike polo rules. Bit by bit we discovered things that worked, things that didn't."

This is a great way to learn and try a Segway while also having fun, and learning how Segway polo is conducted. Most people look at Segway Polo as being eccentric and too expensive yet Segways are well adapted to this kind of movement, so people get into it quickly and they dedicate the time and effort it takes. It is actually a lot cheaper than real polo, which requires very expensive horses and training.

Riding the Segway on a large grass field is a ton of fun, and it offers a venue where people can take it at their own speed. Segway of Oakland will generally train the group right from the beginning and culminate with at least one chukka of game play. But the course of the event can be catered to the group in question. Segway of Oakland provides ten units and personnel for training and conducting the event. Segway of Oakland will often rotate groups on the Segways while others in the group use the outdoor picnic facilities for food or other activities. Many groups use the Segway Polo in conjunction with a full day corporate event that involves as many company personnel as interested.

Any company or group in the Bay Area can give Segway of Oakland a call about Segway Polo events in Oakland this summer. For a limited time, Segway of Oakland is offering the basic Segway Polo package for $1400 which includes personnel, units, and gear for up to four hours of riding time and instruction. This unique event is one that is a cut above in terms of providing something memorable and fun.
