By shifting your weight left, right, forward or backward you <br /> immediately glide in the precise direction you want to move. The platform of the <br /> Segway PT is eight inches off the ground which gives the rider a clear view of their <br /> surroundings and creates an experience worth savoring. <br /> "We are delighted to welcome this new, one-of-a-kind business to downtown South <br /> Bend," stated Mayor Luecke. "The East Race Waterway is one of the many distinctive <br /> features that make our city a destination location. The Segway tours are a great way to <br /> experience the riverfront, downtown, and to explore the array cultural and entertainment <br /> venues throughout our arts and museum districts." <br /> -more- <br />
