Ohio Segway Tours

Whether you want to explore Columbus or the hills of southeast Ohio, you can choose your own adventure on with this trio of two-wheeled excursions.

August 2018 BY Cameron Hoover | Photo courtesy of SegAway Tours of Columbus

Since it hit the market in 2001, the Segway has become a legitimate mode of transportation for those who want to take a spin on two wheels without pedaling. But with a price tag just shy of $6,000 for one of the self-balancing personal transporters, buying one isn’t in the budget for most of us. That’s where guided Segway tours come in, offering the chance to take a spin through the city or along the trail, including these three options across Ohio.  Sandusky Segwave: The owners of Sandusky Segwave have heard all the reasons not to take a spin on a Segway. “They look hard to ride” and “I’ll make myself look silly” are the most common ones, but co-owner Jim Ervin says it’s much easier than it looks. “You just stand on it, that’s all you’ve got to do,” he explains. “The machine does all the work.” Sandusky Segwave offers a two-hour tour of landmarks, city parks and bike paths in and around historic downtown Sandusky. New this season is the West City Tour, which lasts about an hour. City Tour $65, West City Tour $39.95; 107 Columbus Ave., Sandusky 44870, 419/734-9283, sanduskysegwave.com Hocking Hills Canopy Tours’ Off-Road Segway: In order to venture off the beaten path, you’re going to need extra power. Luckily, Hocking Hills Canopy Tours’ off-road Segway X2 has you covered. Over the course of two hours, guides take riders on a scenic route through the woods and along the Hocking River. There is also a less expensive option that offers Segway lessons in an open field. “The most unique thing that we offer here would really be that nature-driven tour,” says Nic Billingsley, a manager at Hocking Hills Canopy Tours. “A lot of the regular Segway tour places offer city tours.” Off-Road Segway Adventures $69, Learn to Segway Experience $25; 10714 Jackson St., Rockbridge 43149, 740/385-9477, hockinghillscanopytours.com SegAway Tours of Columbus: It’s tough to experience all that our capital city has to offer in two hours, but that’s what SegAway Tours of Columbus aims to do.

Hocking Hills Road Tour

Car & Driver Magazine named the roads in Hocking Hills as their “Midwestern driving roads of choice” when they brought the Aston Martin Vanquish here for a test drive in spring of 2013.  According to Car & Driver , “The driving route is maybe the best in the world, this side of the Nürburgring.”  Their route of choice was a loop on State Route 374 to State Route 56 to State Route 664 and back to State Route 374. 

Collector car clubs, motorcycle clubs and folks just out for a pleasant country drive enjoy the beauty that abounds throughout the hills.  Car & Driver’s route of choice is just one of many breathtaking rides that can test the limits of both driver and vehicle. 

The roads dip and twist through forests, over high vistas and around hairpin curves.  Every season delivers its’ unique beauty.  Winter’s touch is cliff and cave walls covered in ice beards and waterfalls frozen in suspended animation.  Spring and summer explode with wildflowers and a million shades of green.  As the summer crowds thin in September and fall colors wash the landscape in October the ride becomes truly resplendent. 

Stop by the Hocking Hills Regional Welcome Center at 13178 State Route 664 S (US 33 & State Route 664) for maps, directions, suggestions and everything you’ll need for a resplendent ride through the Hocking Hills.
