Schedule
Friday
Segway has opened their doors for all SegwayFest attendees! Are you thinking about buying a new Segway HT model? You will have the opportunity to build your own machine down on the manufacturing line. If you’re not ready for another purchase, take the guided tour of the facility with the staff. There will be agility games and product demonstrations out on the lawn and a polo presentation. Feeling up for a challenge? Take an extreme trail glide on the testing grounds behind the factory but be forewarned: this is not for the faint of heart.
Throughout the day on Friday afternoon, Concept Centaur rides will be provided to pre-registered individuals. RMP demos will also be given. Free 14.0 Software Upgrades will be available at the plant only. New product demos (of the Segway HT i180, Segway XT, and the Segway GT) will also be given throughout the day at the Segway plant.
