Now Segway of Oakland is offering to deliver Segways anywhere in Northern California. Segways are great for events and any special occasion where there is the want for something special, and that makes a difference.

The Segway is the world's first self-balancing vehicle, and the Segway is the same size as a person. Its position is upright, so it maneuvers through crowds like no other vehicle ever made. The Segway is great to look at, and it’s a ton of fun. Some people even compare the feel of a Segway to the feel of gliding on a pair of skis. The Segway glides like no other vehicle, and because of its self-balancing technology, it is driven by leaning forwards and backwards, or side to side. There is no accelerator or brakes, and the self-balancing Segway moves according to your body position. So, it accelerates and stops with incredible precision, even though it has no accelerator.

Lean back and the Segway stops, and lean back more and it goes backwards. Stand still and it stays still. It's the only vehicle that seems like a mind reader. The rider and Segway are so in sync that nothing else feels like a Segway. This makes the Segway a lot of fun, but it's not just a fun recreational vehicle. It also has some features no other vehicle has. Its maneuverability is better than anything else, and because the rider’s position is upright, it provides much better visual.

We have delivery options for anywhere in Northern California. Alternatively you can save money by simply picking them up at Segway of Oakland’s warehouse in Oakland, but we'll even provide the convenience of delivering it right to your location. The Segways are great for special events, parties, and other occasions. You can also rent a fleet to test it out in a particular area, or they can be rented as single units for daily or weekly rentals.”

Segway of Oakland is the only hands on Segway dealer in Northern California that has them available and can bring them to you, so call Segway of Oakland at 1-888-8SEGWAY today to place your order, or visit http://www.segwayofoakland.com for more information. Segway of Oakland is also the only Segway dealer that can provide training, and or even personnel for events. However, unlike other rental outfits, Segway of Oakland also offers to rent out their Segways for private use, and they will even provide the training as needed. No matter the situation, Segway of Oakland is the only Segway rental company that provides the options needed for unique circumstances.

Segway of Oakland Announces their New Service Options:

2012-01-23T12:29:00.000-08:00

Segways are new high tech machines that require specialized tools and service knowledge. Segway of Oakland and Bay Area Segway now offer new service packages and better options for on site service.

“We have a new Segway service van with everything that we need to service your units on site in many cases,” said Darren Romar, co-owner of Segway of Oakland. “Nobody has been working on Segways longer than Segway of Oakland. We offer specialized service packages exclusively for law enforcement and security throughout Northern California.”

Segway of Oakland and Bay Area Segway are the most reliable resources when it comes to working on Segways. We make custom parts and accessories for Segways, and we do more specialized custom work on Segways than anybody else in the business.

Customized Segways from Segway of Oakland and Bay Area Segway:

2012-01-19T11:06:00.000-08:00

When it comes to working on Segway PTs nobody offers more than Segway of Oakland does. They not only provide factory authorized service, but they also do specialized custom work on Segway PTs. Segway of Oakland’s customized Segways have an appearance that is like no other vehicle on the market.Check out some of Segway of Oakland's customized Segway PTs for something truly unique.

Segway of Oakland has done more customization work than anybody else. The customized work is generally for looks, but they also do some specialized adaptations including trailer hitches, carriers, and various types of apparatus designs to hold anything from a sign to a 12 gauge. Most of the designs are cosmetic, but include dramatic customized rims, handlebars, chrome work, airbrush painting, and anodization to make for some of the unique machines built anywhere.

Many companies and other organizations have used Segway of Oakland to build customized Segways based on company colors, images, or logos, and the Segway itself is a really neat device to customize in that way. The Segway is the ultimate Green Machine, but it's also a unique device that uses proprietary technology that is not used by other vehicles. The Segway balances perfectly over its wheels so it has a great application of power and traction. It has no accelerator or brakes, yet it follows the movement of the rider, and accelerates or stops on a dime.

A customized Segway is something unique that gets a lot of attention. Although often ridiculed, the unique design wins people over and it gets them talking. That's why many companies and many people have found that a customized Segway is the ultimate attention getter, and it's great for branding and creating activity. The Segway flat out stir things up in a crowd, and so people have realized that it's a great medium for getting people together as well as a unique machine with interesting design characteristics.

The Segway is absolutely also the best vehicle in a crowd. That's why mall cops use them. They can move through a crowd with much more precision than a bike or other vehicle. A Segway is small, it is great for short distances, and the vertical stance makes it useful in more crowded areas or in parks or closed gated areas where there are a lot of paths. In those kinds of areas it's way more maneuverable than other vehicles.

“Most of our customizations included customized rims and handlebars as well as paint jobs, anodization, and other high-end cosmetic work,” said Darren Romar, co-owner of Segway of Oakland. “We're insured, we’re an authorized dealer, and we guarantee high quality work. We do work in concert with the parent company, and so we don't make any kinds of structural or mechanical changes as Segway strictly controls how this machine works through its warranty and service. It's a totally unique machine, so the parts are limited, and we have to work with the parent company to assure that all of our custom work is essentially cosmetic and does not affect the working of the unit itself.”

Romar continued, “Nonetheless, nobody has done more extensive work on Segways, and our customizations really show it. We start with really basic work, but in most cases we hand build the rims and fabricate them out of aluminum. It is expensive work for what is an essentially cosmetic change, but the fabricated aluminum rim specs out a lot better for the same weight than the composite, and it's the extreme cost of doing it that makes it out of the question for the production model. It's expensive, but it also looks like a million bucks.”

Check out some of Segway of Oakland's customized Segway PTs for that unique look that really gets attention. Customized Segways by Segway of Oakland and Bay Area Segway are the most unique machines built anywhere.

Segway Special Events

2011-11-22T09:30:00.000-08:00

Segway of Oakland offers Segway event rentals for all kinds of fun for companies and other organizations throughout the Bay Area.

Segways are unique, and they offer something new and exciting, especially if you've never ridden one. We offer safe and sane lessons, and riding adventures that can fit a wide array of company activities, events, or parties.

We can offer the most diverse array of activities including demos and lessons for groups of up to 200 people. For smaller groups and team building, we even have fun unique activities including Segway polo and Segway racing.

Segways offer lots of excitement, and this is a hands on adventure where there is some risk, but we are fully insured and the fact is that Segways are super safe. They're designed with the user in mind.

Segways are unique and they offer something new and exciting, especially if you've never ridden one. We offer safe and sane lessons and riding adventures that can fit a wide array of company activities, events, or parties.

Segways for Parties or other Events:

Segways are a perfect entertainment for parties and events. We can teach up to hundreds of participants and offer brief rides, and instruction using up to 20 Segway PTs and 10 or more site personnel.

Segways are easy to ride, but they take some brief instruction, but with hands on trainers from Segway of Oakland, we can handle even large groups and give everyone who wants to a chance to learn to ride a Segway PT.

The Segway can be used in a relatively closed area, a courtyard, or even a grass field. We have done many indoor events. All that's required is some open space according to the number of Segways and trainers employed for the event.

Segways are so unique that participants remember the fun and the activity more than any other thing. And with our experienced trainers and guides, we can handle just about any situation.

Segways for parties and events can be tailored to just about any situation and offers the most flexibility for your organization.

Segway Racing and Segway Polo:

For a more exciting, team building experience, we do a lot of Segway polo events and Segway racing events. Both are informally set-up but we offer more in depth instruction and an opportunity to ride more aggressively and have more fun!

With Segway polo we provide all the equipment needed, and we provide hands on instruction, including more time on the Segway, and higher speeds. Riding on the grass provides a lot more opportunity to really see what a Segway can do. We can handle up to two games at once, and generally a team will have 5 on each team. However, we adjust according to the number of participants. This activity requires a large grass field and is appropriate for smaller groups ranging from 6 to 40 people.

Segway racing is another activity that offers a ton of fun, and is a great team building alternative to Segway polo. We keep it simple, using pylons to set up a dual segway sprint course where participants race from one end to the other.

This activity also requires a grass field, and is more appropriate for a group that really does want to ride aggressively and have some excitement with a little competition.

Segway racing is a little more flexible than Segway polo and we can do groups of up to 50 participants. With both Segway polo and Segway racing there is time for participants to ride freely on the Segways, so not all time is dedicated to the racing or polo. There is also instruction time and other riding activities that give the participants an event that is focused on Segways and Segway riding.

Segway Guided Rides and Tours:

We can bring up to 25 Segways for 25 participants, complete with guides and trainers. We can take up to 2 or 3 hours with participants on a guided ride or tour.

We have done all kinds of guided rides, and although they're all geared for fun, the Segway is also a great way to show people a building complex, park, new facility, downtown area or whatever.

In depth instruction coupled with a lot of riding time and hands on training is the best way to have complete Segway experience. The better the pathways and the tour area, the better the riding experience. However, we can use a wide variety of areas and surfaces, from pathways, to roads, to grass, and even inside.

We can even handle in depth presentations and other corporate or organizational tours that involve showing participants specific areas.

Our consistent supply and superior selection along with great prices makes us the best resource for your Segway needs. We can even deal with repairs. We have faster shipping turnaround through our distribution warehouse which is in Oakland, CA.

Custom Segways

2011-11-17T11:58:00.000-08:00

Dear Segway Enthusiast Friends,
We are writing you today with some unique information! Here at Segway of Oakland we have built many customized Segways to add unique flare to both company and personal Segway PT’s. More people come to our shop for the customizing of Segway PT's than anywhere else because we design and build more custom Segways parts than any other dealership. Businesses, celebrities and sports teams alike, including Monster Cable, The Green Cross, Usher, the 49er’s and many others have entrusted their Segway customizing to the Segway of Oakland Design team because lets face it, a customized Segway is really unique ! Instead of a custom branded car, motorcycle or other vehicle, many people have found that Custom Segways are relatively inexpensive but they still draw a lot of attention at trade shows and other important company events.

As an authorized Segway Dealer we began customizing Segways for different projections and promotions beginning with the Generation 1 i167 Segway. Today we are introducing new custom branded designs that add something unique and new to any company Segway marketing and promotion team. We can build a customized Segway with your Company's colors and logo, as nothing matches the flair, appeal, and uniqueness of a Custom Segway PT. These custom Segways are unique, yet we
generally complete a project for less than $14,000, which is really inexpensive compared to other customized projects with this high quality manufacturing.

Plus, everything we make is made in the USA! These are high quality aluminum parts and precise workmanship made right here in Oakland, California. A customized automobile, car, boat or motorcycle costs considerably more than our simple and elegant Segway customizations. Not only does the segway draw attention because of its unique riding style, but its also much smaller, and can be used in a wider variety of circumstances, plus, our customized Segway designs give you more in terms of a unique vehicle that really catches the eye.

Segways are the ultimate "Green Machine". They are ultra efficient personal vehicles that are incomparable in the way they operate. Simple and different from other vehicles.

People have different opinions about Segways, but it's really the newness and uniqueness that makes some people apprehensive. This is a totally unique vehicle, and once you try it, you will love it! Many people are drawn to it, and nobody can doubt that Segways really do stand out from the crowd. Segways are the way to go because of their unbeatable efficiency and they offer a fun way to get around.

With a chassis smaller than a bike, and lighter than any other motorized vehicle, the Segway has some unique qualities! It's super maneuverable, allowing you to use it inside at shows, events, demos, or introductions. It adds something unique that says "green machine" and "efficiency" to the audience. You can even do a speech or presentation on it!

We make very basic Segway designs that show off custom branding, company colors, product colors, or can design any idea you think will help with company promotion. We offer unmatched customization including painting, polishing and customized aluminum wheels and frames.

Nobody matches our look and as an authorized Segway service center, we know what we're doing when it comes to customizing Segways. Many motorcycle shops and others have done custom Segway jobs, but we're recognized world wide as the leader when it comes to Segways!

As a completely insured dealership and with unlimited access to an advanced manufacturing shop, where we can fabricate different things to meet your requirements, you can trust your Segway to return with unmatched excellence

We make these Segways to order and we'd love to discuss the products we're currently working on. Give us a call today
at 1-510-414-8429 and check out one of our custom designs for boosting your company's image and for fun!

Thanks for your attention,

Darren Romar
Vice President
Slide4less Inc
