Segway rides par Guy

Guy Peyrard was an innovator when he introduced these fun rides some fifteen years ago, and his activity immediately appealed to sports enthusiasts, non-sports enthusiasts, families, the young and the not-so-young, and even ‘hit the spot’! In October 2024, when some of Guy’s segways were damaged by the flooding of the Lignon, it was with great sadness that his business came to an end. Despite everything, some of the machines were saved…

New!

In September 2025, Hervé Dolmazon bought back the machines and restarted this great activity! So don’t wait any longer to (re)get on these silent machines for a fun ride and enjoy nature… No pollution, no noise…

Segway rides by Hervé!

Hervé will be your guide on your nature outings in a gyropod. But perhaps you already know him? Hervé Dolmazon is a quad bike tour guide in Saint-Jeures. As a member of Quad 3D, he offers quad biking and electrically assisted mountain biking. So he knows his way around! His business is located in Saint-Jeures, so there are plenty of opportunities for outings… In the heart of nature, close to the Lizieux national forest, you’ll set off along the paths of the Lizieux, the countryside of Saint-Jeures and the surrounding area to explore a magnificent forest and admire the landscapes of the Haut-Lignon.

The Gyropod what a strange contraption!

The gyropod is electric, silent and ideal for nature outings. It can be driven instinctively, using the handlebars to choose the direction and your body position to move forwards or backwards 😁.
