Segway Rentals vs. Segway Tours


When Moving Forward Rentals was established the original premise was going to be unguided rentals (not tours per se). This was hatched on the belief that we had something to offer Sea Isle City in the way of easing the parking and transportation issues during the busy vacation season. Also, this was our original exposure with Segways in California.

After much contemplation and deliberations, the "deal" with the city was that guided tours would be the best way to introduce Segways to Sea Isle City. I have to admit that this choice also made not being in the store, all day every day, much easier on my overall stress level too. Knowing we provide great initial training and excellent side-by-side help along the way, certainly was the best approach.

Through the first season and early on into this season we have had several repeat customers that just can't get enough of the "Segway Smile". At this point, we can see that these repeat customers are almost experts on the machines and are looking for something more. These insights have allowed us to begin pondering again the idea of expansion back to Segway rentals.

Moving Forward Rentals still feels we can fill a need that is hardly being met. Traffic and parking are still major issues and getting worse every year in Sea Isle City. The ability to hop on your Segway and grab some milk, do a little window shopping, visit some friends, or just glide the promenade with your friends or loved ones adds unbelievable value to any one's vacation time. Not having to worry about traffic back ups, finding or paying for parking spaces, or the even the ever dreaded "Gas Crunch" could play a huge part into your overall unwinding, during your vacation.

I believe, if we offered a 1 day, 3 day, 5 day and 7 day rentals, beginning next season, we can fulfill this need. *UPDATED* We are now offering Freedom Rentals for 4 hour, 24 hour, 3 day and 5 day Rental Periods. This could only be offered to our very best customers though, to maintain our safety first mentality. We would offer this exclusive opportunity to very valued customers that have toured with us 3 times or more prior to next season. *UPDATED* To become a Moving Forward Member all you have to do is have toured with us at least 1 time and be 21 years of age or older. Only Moving Forward Members will be given the opportunity to Freedom Rentals.

Please express your thoughts on this new opportunity. Would this be of interest to you? Do you feel we could still maintain our great relationship with Sea Isle City and its residents? As always, we would price the rentals better than any of our local or Internet competitors. Segways at a reasonable price is something you do not always see! *UPDATED* Please visit the Reservations Page to see Rental Rates.
