  • Segway Submitted By: Activity Superstore Thursday, 15 August 2013
    Segway Submitted by: Activity Superstore Thursday, 15 August 2013 50% more people want to ride a Segway, according to the latest stats from Google Trends and gift experience specialist Activity Superstore, which liken the personal transport to a desirable sports car. Consumer interest in Segway experiences, from Segway rally driving to Segway city tours, has peaked by an impressive 50% on Google Trends this August and the numbers are still rising. Since 2011, Google demonstrates that Segway popularity has consistently grown by 10% year on year and despite the legal roadworthiness of the Segway, which restricts its public use due to being a motor vehicle, the worldwide use of the personal transport continues to grow. Meanwhile, gift experience provider, Activity Superstore (http://www.activitysuperstore.com/) saw a 45% increase in the number of Segway experiences booked, with Segway rally being the most popular Segway pursuit. “Now that the weather has cooled down, we’ve seen a sharp rise in purchases and redemptions for our gift vouchers,” said Ross Stevens, Marketing Manager. “But for whatever reason, people are going mad for Segways right now.” Segway experiences now make up 10% of online sales for the gift experience provider. The company’s Ultimate Choice gift vouchers are also 23% more likely to be redeemed for a Segway experience than any other type of product. In other Segway News Recently, London-based entrepreneur Nick Magliocchetti has formed the UK’s first Segway polo (http://wozcup2013.com/) team. Similar to horse polo, except that instead of playing on horseback, each player rides a Segway PT on the field, doing away with the need for multiple ponies and tailored leather boots.
