New Zealand Guide rates Segway on Q as one of the 20 best things you can do when you visit the South Island.
Just about everyone reading this right now here at Segway NZ News already knows riding a Segway Personal Transporter (PT) is one of the better things you can do with your precious time in just about any place, at any time, right?
Segway on Q has been a top-rated attraction in Queenstown for two decades. Founder Kevin Hey began with five first generation PTs (with fixed handlebars and a twist-grip for turning). Segway GT golf kits enabled several of the fleet to be used to play a round at Frankton.
Over time the fleet moved to 'Gen 2' Segway PTs with LeanSteer, then to the latest 'SE' model.
Recently, Kevin added three more brand new Segway i2 SE machines to his fleet. These are some of the last brand new units available anywhere in the world.
Yes, thats right - in mid-2026 Segway New Zealand has brand new Segway PTs available to purchase, alongside a full range of lovingly refurbished models.
