Common questions.
Is oTo a Segway?
No. oTo is a new self-balancing tour vehicle our team is developing in Minneapolis to succeed the Segway PT. It’s designed for guided group tours, and it’s still in development.
Where can I ride today?
On a HumanOnaStick Segway tour in Minneapolis or St. Paul. Those tours run on our Segway fleet today, and you can book one online.
When can I ride an oTo?
Not yet. oTo is in development, and there are no oTo tours to book. Take a free fan number to hold your place in line.
Can I buy an oTo?
No. oTo isn’t sold as a personal transportation device. Our plan is one managed fleet that moves with the tour seasons, and you ride it on a guided tour. How the fleet works.
Who’s behind oTo?
Mobile Entertainment, LLC, in Minneapolis: the team behind HumanOnaStick, which has run Segway tours since 2003. Meet the team.
