Step 1: Invest in a Segway

Buy a Segway or two (or ten, we won't judge). Make sure they're in good condition and don't have any weird stains.

Segways are like any other business venture - it's all about the initial investment. Don't skimp on quality, or you'll be stuck with a Segway that's more suited for a toddler's birthday party than a professional business.

Estimated cost: $1,000 - $5,000 per Segway. Worth it?

Step 2: Get a Business License

Register your business with the local government. This will give you the official permission to operate a Segway-based business in your area.

Don't worry, it's not as painful as it sounds. Just fill out some forms, pay the fees, and you're good to go!

Step 3: Hire a Team of Highly Trained Segway Operators

Find people who are comfortable riding Segways. This may seem obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people aren't.

We recommend starting with a team of 2-5 Segway operators. More than that and you'll just be causing a ruckus in the office.

Step 4: Develop a Business Plan

Write a business plan that outlines your Segway-based business goals and strategies. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Target market: Who do you want to sell to? Tourists? Corporate events? Other Segway enthusiasts?
• Marketing strategy: How will you get people on your Segway and off your Segway?
• Revenue model: Will you charge by the hour, by the mile, or by the Segway?
