Two Segways for facilities team

SPOTTED: Stanton Abels on one of the new Segway scooters being used on the Bellville Campus

The Wellington and Bellville facilities teams are slightly more agile thanks to the addition of two Segway scooters.

The upright scooters have already been causing quite a stir when they have been spotted around the Bellville campus.

Chief Horticulturalist Douglas Curran says the Segways are a more effective way of travelling around campus quickly.

“We are trying to save on petrol costs and eventually we want to charge them using solar stations,” he says.

For insurance and safety purposes users need to do a special drivers course and be licensed to operate the machine.
