Personal injury and liability are top concerns.  We had some guys that wanted to lease us some of the Segway ones.  All it would take is one incident where someone got hurt and it would be a mess.  A quick and hard pass.

 

And THIS is why me and others faught to get skateboarding added to the list of "extreme and dangerous sports". Now you see public free skate parks. Why? Because if you choose to engage in it, you assume the responsibility of it. If you fall, it's on you. Like skydiving, you take your life in your hands, it's on you.

 

Also, if you hurt yourself and feel the need to blame someone other than your damn self, then you have issues.

 

But I guess if there is one place that hosts folks of a litigious nature, a golf course would be a great place to start.  🤣

Skateboard parks aren't renting them a device. 

 

Rent someone something and it goes wrong, there are liability issues.  Better hope you can prove the instruction was up to "industry standards" and your liability waiver is perfect.

This is a bike for my personal use on a course I belong to. I am not starting a rental fleet, nor driving around in my truck with the scoot in the back looking for a course to play.

 

While I appreciate your feedback, I think you misunderstood the situation at hand.

 

If I have to walk today because there isn't a cart available, I might just order this b**** today. 🤣

We have to sign a waiver for both cart and golf board on every rental.

The board is an interesting concept. If it wasn't so expensive I would consider it more. 

 

Also as wet as the course is currently I think the wheels would sink and you'd be stuck carrying the board with your bag.

It's a two wheeled scooter. The tires are rather fat so they do not damage grounds even when it's soggy. They restrict carts quite a bit on my course ( we don't have best drainage) but the board has free reign, always. It possesses the tech that makes it impossible to wipe out or lay down. What's not obvious it's a bit of a work out to turn and navigate. A lot of aggressive hard leaning. I think that's why it's not so popular.

The scooter tires are bigger than cart tires, so it should be fine. The tires on the board look tiny and there doesn't seem to be as much ground clearance.

 

Also, I want to sit.

That scooter is interesting looking for sure. I'd be scared to drive it on any course that isn't totally flat. If it goes about the same speed as a golf cart I could see it tipping over once you hit a hill or angled mound especially after it's loaded up with you and your bag.

I’d still pick the Finn Scooter if I had the means to bring it to the course.  I’ve ridden the board a few times, and while it’s fun, it can be hard to maneuver.
