City Segway Tours are the first and seem to have a winning formula.
I just do what they were doing.
Buy some Segways, sell some rides, have some fun.

Mike, Hey watsup, I was just in Nassau Bahamas this past year. I have some ideas for you.

I think if you do start up this business, do it near the ports!!

Make sure to contact Royal Carribean and other cruise companies to get your brochures to them for their offshore excursions.

A segway rental place would be great down there!!

Also, here's another idea for you. Go to the atlantis hotel and see if they would be interested. That place is so huge, a segway would be great to get around. I remember from the lobby to the pool was a 20 minute walk.

Segways would be great for rentals or for staff there.

I think it could really work.

Good Luck!

Mike,
You will need to get the product road aprroved. We have had several meetings regarding this. At this time the are against the law to use on the street. The Kerzner Group (Atlantis) is based in Ft Lauderdale. RCCL is interested but the there are several issues.
Feel free to contact me to discuss.

Good Luck

I was just chiming in to see if there was any update on this.

I can't walk far (MS) and use the Segway to get around more easily. We are going to Atlantis for a week in August, and I would really like to rent one while down there.

But Hot Pink does tours there! He might have a lead for you!
