Excellent! The minifig was well chosen too as a character you’re likely to

I’m glad you like it. I know that some Space builders have “motorized”
cars by using magnets (example: here;
the YouTube links still work), so maybe something could be done with the Segway,
too. The parts I used are pretty common, so it shouldn’t be hard for someone
(with more resources than myself) to build enough for a tour group something
similar.
