Segway
Tours: Unique Perspectives
The
Gettysburg Experience, October, 2009. "How’s
this for a unique adventure? Take something “old” and add something
“new” and tour the Gettysburg battlefield by Segway. Segway Tours offers
two routes through the Gettysburg battlefield. The Segway Personal Transporter
is an environmentally friendly transporter with just two wheels that is self-balancing;
you change your direction by shifting your body weight. Lean forward to go forward;
lean back to slow down; pull the handle and lean right to turn right; pull he
handle and lean left to turn left. Balance your body straight and tall to stop.
Sound like fun? It is!"
"Take
modern spin through Gettysburg"
Central
Daily Times, 23 Aug 2009 "Grab
your helmet and get ready to travel through time on a Segway! A cool tour in Gettysburg
takes you through the historic battlefields from the view of this 2-wheeler. Easy
to ride and it is easy on the environment! Start rolling your way through Adams
County."

"Riding
a Segway across the thousands of acres of battlefield sure beats walking. You
wont get tired but the best part is the fun!"

"Though
I knew I had wheels on the ground, I felt like I was drifting about five inches
above it. All I had to do was lean a little and the Segway would magically take
me in the direction I indicated, like it was reading my mind. There
are thousands of monuments on the battlefield, and traveling around by car cannot
give the full experience. "I don't get a chance to see (the monuments) up
close in a car," [Dave Eisenhart, Licensed Battefield Guide] commented as
we rode past some that were in less accessible locations. He explained that this
is a reason that Segway tours of the battlefield are more beneficial in getting
a well-rounded view."

[The
Segway] is not a toy," Velke said. "We're very much focused on the history."
They may not be toys but Segways are still fun. "It
was incredible," Bill Jones said. "It is almost like a walking tour
but not as strenuous. It would have taken us days to see that much." Walking
tours are generally too slow and exhaust listeners before getting too far; bus
tours are too fast and don't give guides much freedom to address individual interests,"
[Gary Kross, Licensed Battlefield Guide] said. "This is like my perfect tour."
