SOUTH PADRE ISLAND — You have seen it on the movie screen.
You have seen it in the shopping mall.
You have probably wondered what it would be like to ride one.

It’s a leap of engineering from the Pogo Stick, invented in 1891, designed for jumping off the ground in a standing position.
The Segway is like a Star Wars vehicle and it’s reminiscent of the sound, speed and alien-like technology.
The Segway can go from slow to fast in an instant, like hyperdrive, and the sound it makes gives you an added rush cruising down the Island strip.
