Prior to starting the drive, it is imperative that you carefully understand the permitted areas where you are allowed to drive with the Segway and where not. We recommend that Segways be driven only on safety lanes, road sides or lanes as advised by the tour guide.

Wearing a helmet and other safety gears are mandatory. Our helmets and safety gears are appropriately sanitised at all times and are provided free of charge and on returnable basis.
Post the training session, should you or the tour guide recommend that you should not take part in the tour due to any reason, the tour price will be refunded, subject to conditions.
Please let yourself be extensively instructed in the handling of the Segway: functionality and explanation of the InfoKey controller, mounting and dismounting, acceleration and braking, steering left/right. The warning signals of the SEGWAY (the red blinking of lights and a vibration of the platform signalise that the drive is to be ended immediately and the vehicle has to be quit in a safe manner). Ignoring these warning signals can lead to the vehicle shutting off automatically.
Never dismount while driving, both feet have to be on the Segway platform at all times. There has to be weight on the pressure sensors permanently.
The Segway driver is not permitted to take pictures or to film during the drive. Both hands have to be on the handlebar at all times, never drive without using your hands. Hand signals have to be given when turning (the same as on a bicycle).
Drive only at walking pace during the test drive or on the course.
Keep a distance of at least 3 metres to the next driver. A minimum clearance of 1 metre has to be also kept on both sides. Pay heed to bumps on the ground and any damage to the road surface. Do not drive over potholes or through puddles. Pay attention to sidewalk kerbs or similar obstacles. Please do not attempt to drive over these or you could fall. If in doubt, dismount and pull the Segway over the obstacle.
Only one driver per vehicle. It is prohibited to take along any more persons or infants.
The instructions of the Bird Hospitality Services Private Limited (BHS) or their employees have to be obeyed at all times. Ignoring the instructions can lead to ending the drive. In this case, no refund of the entry fee or rental fee will be refunded. The same applies in case there is cause for suspicion of intoxication due to alcohol or drugs.
The vehicle may not be transferred to third parties.
After ending the drive, the vehicle as well as all accessories and equipment have to be given back to the BHS in the same condition as before the tour. All damages or the absence of equipment or absence of the device itself shall be charged in their entirety to the leaser.
