Mobility
Mobility Challenged? NOT!
Assisting the mobility challenged is a special calling for Segway Off Road owner, Drew Foster. Injuries from serious accidents early in his life eventually left him depressed and out of shape, until he discovered Segways through a friend.
Once Foster rode a Segway he was hooked! Soon his love of adventure inspired him to begin riding his street model Segway on trails near his home in the Oakland hills. A wipe out inspired him to design the first off road Segway, and his love of Segways was cemented.
Since Drew began riding in 2003, he’s trimmed down, gotten fit, and renewed his love of life and outdoor adventure through Segways. Now he shares his passion with others who, like him, crave adventure, but may not find it physically possible to go places they want due to mobility issues.
Custom-designed Segway Wheelchair
Segway Off Road has designed custom Segways for people who are para-palegic or mobility challenged in other ways. On a Segway, no one feels handicapped!
Custom Segways can replace wheelchairs, scooters, and other devices. They fit through standard doorways, don’t mark up floors, and are eco friendly. Charging a Segway costs less than a dime, and one charge can last 19 miles. In certain cases, custom Segways can allow someone who normally has to sit to stand and move freely again.
Segways change lives. Segway Off Road is happy to be a partner in enabling all people to enjoy our natural landscape freely.
Happy Customers
“My wife found this great person named Drew Foster who customized & built a Segway for me because I have multiple sclerosis & cancer. It was a great adventure. If there were a way to roll out the red carpet on a nature Adventure he did it. It was so much fun! If you’ve never been on a Segway this will be the best adventure you can go on in an opportunity for you and your children or your nieces and nephews to learn about California and the Redwoods. – Arlie, the Costco Guy”
“We had such a blast on the Redwood Segway tour! The next time my sister and niece come we all want to do it again. It was the highlight of their visit up here. Drew is so knowledgeable about the redwoods which made it so interesting, and he’s so experienced with the Segways that he gave us scaredy cats confidence to use them on the trail. For me this was very emotional because my husband and I used to hike Half Dome in Yosemite every year before he was diagnosed with MS and now 6 years later, thanks to Drew we’re back on the trails. It was just amazing.”
