A Segway is a self-balancing, electric personal transporter commonly used for sightseeing and guided tours. Riders stand upright on a small platform and control movement through subtle shifts in body weight. When taken part in abroad, Segway riding is typically a non-competitive, supervised activity designed for short-distance exploration rather than speed.
ActivitySure can cover Segway riding when you are taking part overseas at an amateur level. Cover applies to non-competitive Segway use carried out under supervision, such as guided sightseeing tours or organised group experiences. Although Segways are designed to be stable and easy to use, riding on unfamiliar streets or uneven surfaces can still carry a risk of falls or collisions, making appropriate travel insurance important before taking part.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go Segway riding?
Segway tours are popular in cities and destinations where sightseeing routes are well suited to short, guided journeys. Cities such as Paris and Rome offer organised Segway tours that take riders through historic streets, parks and along river routes. It's also common in cities like San Francisco, where tours often follow waterfront paths and scenic viewpoints. Many destinations offer Segway experiences as a relaxed alternative to walking tours, particularly for first-time visitors.
Here's why segway travel insurance matters:
Segway riding involves balancing on a motorised platform while navigating pedestrian areas, pavements and varied terrain. Uneven surfaces, kerbs or sudden obstacles can increase the likelihood of falls or minor collisions, particularly for inexperienced riders. If you are injured while riding a Segway abroad, you may require medical treatment or assistance returning home. Travel insurance helps protect you financially if you need medical care, repatriation or if your trip is disrupted unexpectedly.
Helpful travel tips
- Follow all instructions and safety guidance provided by the tour guide or supervisor.
- Use smooth, controlled movements and avoid sudden changes in direction.
- Keep a safe distance from pedestrians, cyclists and obstacles
- Stay alert to uneven ground, kerbs and changes in surface.
- Wear any safety equipment provided or recommended by the organiser
