Segway Tour Question??

[MinnieM21]

My friend and I are thinking about taking the Segway tour and I have a question about the minimum weight limit. I don't know if I weight enough. I'm only 85lbs but am 20 years old.
Do I not weight enough to take the Segway tour??

I have yet to see anything about a minimum weight, but I would imagine that there are plenty 16 year olds (min age) who are around 85 lbs... I was at that age. The max is 250, I believe.

If all else fails, call WDW Tours.

Kind of off topic but I noticed you graduated from Portland State. That's where I go.

I'll call WDW tours tomorrow to find out for sure

I'd suggest you call and ask.
Someone who owned a Segway posted once that the owner's manual says a minimum weight of 100 pounds though (from what was posted, I guess some of the safety features may not work correctly with too little weight on the Segway).

We own a Segway and have had as little as 30lb. kids riding around on it.
The problem with too light a rider is their ability to stop the segway.
However all the kids really have to do is really shift their weight rearward to stop the unit.
I wouldn't be too worried as you are very close to the 100lb minimum limit and being taller (hopefully) than a 4 yr. old 30 lb child you can move your center of gravity with much more precision.
I would hope that the previous people that have taken a segway tour at WDW could let you know if any of them had to be weighed before taken the tour??
I wouldn't think they do that and would imagine you would not be hassled about it, anf furthermore should have no problem riding the segway with ease.

Thank you everyone. I'm going to call today to find out for sure.
