Segway of Pacific Beach

Segways are always fun but these guys are extra great! Very informative and cover enough in training to really let you fully enjoy the segways. I rented segways in Miami and the experience wasn’t nearly as good; there’s too many restrictions and misleading driving rules («for safety») at most Segway rental places. Segway of Pacific Beach trains you as if you’re going to own a Segway rather than rent and that makes all the difference in the experience I think. Priceless fun

We did a tour of San Diego yesterday with George Clark and the four of us had a fantastic time. He made sure we were well trained and comfortable before taking us out. As a retired Vietnam Vet (Purple Heart) and long time San Diego resident he had great stories and a superb knowledge of the history and architecture we saw. The trip was long and easily customized to our desires. George is a news photographer and took a great assortment of pictures of our group for us. As this was my first time on a Segway I had a blast and saw/​learned a great deal about San Diego. This should be a must do activity here.

They take reservations. They Accommodated our large group. The Segway training was very helpful even for people that had ridden before. The employee was courteous and patient.

The service was great with Julian! He was great teacher and we all got the hang of it very quickly. The location is great. We segwayed on the bike route and it was a gorgeous view. We felt like we could ask Julian anything we needed and I highly recommend this company.

class act. Joe sold me a Segway that was in «excellant» condition on ebay. Being in Florida I couldnt exactly inspect the machine. he called me right away and even tho he is super buisy, took time to talk with me about my buisness. When the Segway arrived it had a missing plug cover. of course the tranction is «as is» but I called him right away and he promptly send me a new one! Having a fleet of used Segways let me tell you be carefull what «authorized dealer» you buy them from. This Segway is all he claimed and the one little thing (cosmetic) he fixed immediatly. I really wish San Diego were closer to Sarasota because Joe gave such great customer service I would be using him for everything. If you go on trip advisor, those reviews speak for themselves

This was really fun. We took the Mission Bay tour. I’m glad we took the tour because if we had just rented on our own we wouldn’t have seen as much as we did. We would probably have just stayed on the boardwalk. Our tour guide was super sweet.

Cool staff, great deal found online for this place. Loved there attitude and clean facility. Pb is a great place to cruise segways. Highly recommended!

They did a great job showing you how to ride them before leaving. These things are harder to ride then what you think!!! Glad we did it, we covered lots of ground quickly and loved the view

I have always had a blast when we rent from these guys. They are patient when they teach you how to ride, and within minutes you are a pro ready for the open road! Very fun adventure!

Great times and fantastic staff.

Segwaying on the boardwalk is such a fun thing to do — you have to try it! And Segway of pacific beach is in the perfect location! The staff here are great — very friendly and helpful — and the pricing is reasonable (considering how much fun you’ll have!).
We rented for five days and used the Segways to go everywhere (they’ve got a decent range on a full charge). You’d be surprised at how much fun it is just to ride one — and then add the beautiful sights into the mix! Seriously, more fun than you can imagine.

Wonderful and patient staff, location is great. Took 4 teenagers/​young adults there and they could not have been better ‘trainers’ and more accomodating. Segway riding is soooo much fun, we almost did not return them!

Oh my gosh! This place is awesome! So inexpensive in a great location to ride around. The people are so friendly and give you a helpful demonstration at the beginning. Also @Ben M. what you said is completely wrong. I have been there several times and Joe was not only there, but stayed 1 hour and a half after closing time for us to finish our ride. Great guy! You all should come here! Best segwaying tour I’ve done in a long time!

I would like to respond to Joe W’s rambling response to my critique.
As you can see, all of my Unilocal reviews are honest and open and, while some may not be to the liking of the proprietor, I tell it like it is from my unbiased perspective.
For the record, I have never met Joe as he is never in his own shop. Additionally, the manufacturer of the A2B bike, Ultramotor, have honored my warranty and have been absolutely fantastic in fixing the problems (many of which were caused by Segway of PB) including replacing the computer which Joe and his «staff» caused. Thank you Ultramotor!
Secondly, the tire situation could have been a disaster had not the professionals at Bicycle Discovery found the gash in the tire that led to its flat — the very same flat that Joe W. had said he had fixed. Joe obviously never repairs A2B bikes (even though he sells them) as he never even stocked the inner tube! Or am I lying about that too, Joe?
Bottom line — stay away from these rip-​off artists and if you ever rent a Segway from them and have a flat, tell the disheveled Chris to be sure and not have olé’ Joe repair it. Better yet, rent it from Segway Tours of San Diego.

I took my family yesterday to ride Segways and we had a BLAST! It was me, my husband and our two sons 13 & 14. We were a little concerned that it would be hard but it was so easy! Chris at Segway of PB was the best! He took his time to show us how to ride and be safe and not before long we were comfortable an we’re ready to go!
This place is great because you can rent the Segways and take your our tour around the boardwalk on the Ocean side and then head over to Mission Beach and Mission Bay sides. The best way to see San Diego and LOTS of fun for the family!
We will definitely be back as we are locals and are always looking for new fun things to do. I highly recommend this place, you will have so much fun!

For the price, the equipment should be better. But at the same time, most people are taking the segways onto the beach and sand so what can you expect? The prices are higher then id like and the service is slower then other places. It wasnt a super bad experience, but it wasnt the best either. They should be quicker with the discounts if theyre going to be slow with the service.

My family (4 of us) booked a guided tour with PB Segway and we all had a blast! I never knew riding one could be so much fun. I don’t know what other people were talking about with San Diego only having decent scenery. San Diego is one of the cleanest and prettiest cities I’ve ever been too. We took the Mission Bay tour and went almost the entire way around the bay. George was our tour guide and he was super fun and informative. He told us great stories about the city and had us laughing the entire day. I highly recommend these guys and will be bringing my mom and brother back in November. See ya soon Chris & George! Thanks for a great experience.

Good service, fun ride, decent surroundings/​scenery.
What I don’t get: New car $ 25,000, rental rate $ 40/​day.
Segway $ 6,000, rental rate $ 55/​hour?

I went here with the BFF last March for a guided tour. I’ve been on 5 segway tours of different cities and this was the worst out of the 5. Granted, riding a segway anywhere is fun as hell and SD, you’re a beautiful city, but the guide was the killer. The guide gave us absolutely NO INFORMATION about the area, where we were going and when asked basic questions we got shrugs. We purchased a 1.5−2 hour tour of the PB area, if we knew the lady accompanying us wasn’t going to give us information, I’d just cruise the beach with my BFF, thanks.
The only plus, they provided gloves because your hands do get cold.

This place is great! We were shown how to use the Segway’s right in the office. Andrea is a great instructor. She really let us get used to them before zooming all over the boardwalk. And she even gave us a map of the area.
We had a blast! The price is the best in town. They charge by the quarter hour after the first hour ($ 45).
