About Segways
Welcome to The Scottish Segway® Centre — the home of Segway adventure in Scotland.
We operate in two special locations in Scotland.
A Family Activity
Fun for the whole family.
Segway is a wonderful family activity, and something all generations can enjoy together. There are few other things to do that give delight to children, parents and grandparents alike — and all at the same time, too.

The Magic Carpet
The magic carpet experience
Segways are self-balancing and gentle: the rider needs no skill or experience. In fact, the less you think about it, the quicker you get the hang of the incredible magic carpet experience. We teach thousands of people a year to Segway, and we love getting “gliders” up and moving in minutes.

Built for off road
Our top-of-the-range Segways are designed for off-road terrain, so they're well equipped for the rough and challenging opportunities at our sites. If you want adventure, let us know.

How it works
Arrive
Meet your friendly guide, sign the disclaimer and get helmeted up.
Helmet up
Get onto your Segway and learn the simple techniques of movement.
Master the magic carpet
Five minutes on the practice pad and you're moving on instinct. Lean forward to go, stand upright to stop. No pedals, no throttle. The trick is to stop thinking about it — the less you think, the quicker it clicks. It's genuinely magical, and we never get tired of watching the moment it lands.
Glide
Off through woodland trails and open countryside, with views you don't normally get to see. Your guide knows the spots — the best viewpoints, the local history, the wildlife, the photo angles you'd otherwise glide past.
Adventure
By the end you'll have covered more ground than you thought possible, picked up stories you didn't ask for, and started planning the next visit before you've handed the helmet back.
The Practical Bit
Too young? Too old? Too heavy?
Too young?
Being able to ride a Segway is actually a weight thing — the Segway needs to pick up slight changes in body weight via its footpad. Children under 20kg will find this a challenge. That's about seven years old. Segway Inc's official guidance is that children should be over 45kg.
At the end of the day, it's your responsibility to check your weight before you participate — we operate on hilly terrain, and if a child can't use their weight to stop the Segway, that could be a problem. If in doubt, come along and see how your child gets on. The parent or guardian signs the disclaimer and takes responsibility, so they need to be comfortable with the decision too.
If you have children around seven, why not chat to us about a personalised tour?
Too old?
Never.
Too heavy?
117kg
The maximum load on a Segway is 117kg.
