Have More Fun in Hawaii!
Tired of coming to Hawaii and finding yourself at the same Luaus only to conclude that besides getting a sun-tan and going for an evening dinner cruise; there is nothing else to keep you excited and indulged in a fun, happy-go-lucky mood?(except for good old fashioned intercourse with your significant other) Well those days are over. Now, Oahu offers something equally enjoyable- a guided tour of Waikiki on a Segway Human Transporter. The Segway Human Transporter is a self-balancing, electric-powered, two-wheeled people mover designed to take you anywhere you want to go. It uses a super computer chip, gyroscopic sensors, and tilt sensors to monitor your every change in body position a hundred times per second- keeping you perfectly balanced at all times. The segway is classified as an assistive mobility device by many state legislatures in the country, which give segway operators the right to ride on any sidewalk or bike lane in an approved state, thus making the process of transportation much less of a hassle to people who live and work in a small proximity. In the near future, most private property management teams should approve segway use on their premises allowing enthusiasts and owners to ride right into the big department stores at shopping centers. It’s about time technology allowed us to venture into the “Jetson’s age.” The segway is governed by three speed keys, which electronically limits the max speed segway goers can reach at any given time making the use of the transporter in crowded areas very plausible. “I use my Segway to go everywhere from Compadres Mexican restaurant to my dry cleaners on Mcully Street. The machine only uses a tad more than a dime’s worth of electricity on a daily basis and I never have parking hassles nor am I spending a bundle on car insurance and gasoline. I do own a Nissan Maxima. Although ever since I bought my Segway, the Nissan just sits at home. The lithium-ion batteries that power the human transporter allow the machine to get 24 miles on a single charge. Producing no emissions, the two stainless steel brushless servomotors that propel the machine output a remarkable two horse power to each wheel. That should squash any concerns about the ability to navigate good distances in less time on a Segway HT. And best of all, the segway is small; about the same size as an average person’s shoulder width - so it can maneuver in areas where wheelchairs and electric scooters cannot.” (Ryan Rice, Honolulu, Hawaii) Weather it’s you’re first time vacationing in Hawaii or you’re a returning visitor, there’s nothing as new and exhilarating as a glide through Waikiki. Loose yourself in the excitement as you glide through Ala Moana Beach Park and Magic Island. Or soar up to Diamond Head Mountain and catch the panoramic view of Waikiki. Worried about loosing exorcise? Take some laps around your hotel pool early in the mourning, but make sure not to miss out on a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience the evolution of transportation. Not much of an athlete? Not a problem! The Segway does not require any special skills to operate, and there’s no sense of balance needed either, (the machine takes care of that part for you). So if you are in no shape to go surfing, you might as well surf the sidewalks. There’s no better way to intake all of Hawaii’s most talked about sights while immersing yourself in the joy of technology. You can find Segway of Hawaii, the exclusive segway authorized dealer for the entire state- at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort and Spa in Waikiki.
