While the iconic Segway PT (Personal Transporter) may no longer be in production, the adventure is far from over—at least here in Queenstown. At Segway on Q, we’re not just coasting on past successes—we’re actively investing in the future to ensure that our guests can continue to glide through one of New Zealand’s most beautiful destinations.

In recent years, many Segway tour businesses around the world have closed their doors, particularly following the end of Segway PT production in 2020. But our story is different.

We’re doubling down!

In the past couple of months, Segway on Q’s owner, operator, and founder, Kevin Hey, has made bold moves to secure the long-term future of Segway tours in Queenstown. Kevin has personally sourced eight second-hand Segway PTs to strengthen the fleet. Some of these have been put straight into service, while others will be used for parts to help keep the current machines in top shape for years to come.

In addition, we’re proud to have recently purchased one of the last brand-new Segway PTs available from Segway New Zealand. And we’re not stopping there—we’re actively planning to acquire more while they’re still available.

The ultimate Queenstown sightseeing experience

What makes Segway on Q truly unique is our dedication to the Segway experience. From day one, our sole focus has been providing the best possible Segway tours in Queenstown. We haven’t branched into electric scooters, e-bikes, or other trends. Instead, we’ve spent years perfecting what we do best—offering fun, safe, and memorable Segway adventures for all ages.

And it’s paid off

Thanks to thousands of happy riders, Segway on Q consistently earns outstanding online reviews and top ratings across multiple platforms. It’s proof that our passion for Segways, combined with world-class customer service and the stunning backdrop of Queenstown, makes for an experience people love.

These new investments are about more than just machines—they’re about continuing a legacy of fun, innovation, and sustainable tourism. We believe the Segway PT still has a lot to offer, especially when paired with the scenery and spirit that make Queenstown so unforgettable.

So while the Segway may be off the assembly line, it’s certainly not off the road—not here, and not with Segway on Q.

Come glide with us and be part of the journey ahead.
