Great intro video to Segway riding, and some insight into the handling and characteristic of the model S. Thx

That’s cool, I would love to have one. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for this informative video. I just got my Segway, and this gave me the confidence to ride it.

had it for 2 years I love it.

I got the Segway Minilite 3 years ago, love it. Now has 2837 miles on it and still works great!

the best review ever. keep it up

My wife got me one last Christmas and I really enjoy it. It is true that your feet will hurt after the first few times. I too was tense when I first tried it and my legs and feet were sore afterwards. But after awhile they get used to it. And YES, you do get a work out! I love it and enjoy going around our neighborhood while "walking" the dogs. It is great fun and I highly recommend getting one.

Hey Ed, what a very cool new scooter! They sure have brought the size and pricing down. Seems like a great way to travel, but I can see only able to travel 13 miles and weight limit I see as the only downfall. Thank you, and safe riding!

I finally got one 😊 it’s so fun!

I used to own a real Segway (i2) and the Ninebot 'Segway' MiniPro. I sold the big one reluctantly after many years, and sold this one in favor of an electric unicycle. However, there are advantages that I miss. I just wish there was a more robust one that could travel faster (for the price - too much competition in this market) and go over more terrain so that I could use it for real commuting. The large 'real' Segways had off road models.

Cool!

Now I have one

Impressive technology, for both the Segway and the Mavic 2. Thanks for the review! It would be interesting for all to post competing alternatives to the Segway. Two I can think of are electric scooters and the one wheel skate boards.

Is it reliable and worth the investment?"Response: Absolutely! The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series is a solid option. It offers a massive capacity, powerful output, and fast recharging. Plus, its armor design and waterproof technology make it durable for outdoor adventures. Consider checking out some reviews to hear firsthand experiences from other outdoor enthusiasts.

Hey Ed. Found this video while looking for answers to the Segway. My first comment is that my family thought I made the video, our resemblance is uncanny, even in some facial expressions. Ok enough with that weirdness. Regarding the Segway. - have you figured out if the steering rod can be extended. I see the hex bolts, but was wondering if you attempted it. - when the app as remote. It works as expected but strangely it refuses to go on carpet. We have wood floors and 1 carpeted living room, and it wouldn't cross that threshold. So wondering if there is any AI that tells it not to. Any idea? Even if I push it in the the carpet, it wouldn't move.

That'd be risky. You might be able to go down off a curb with some practice, but going up on a curb would probably throw you off. I'd prefer to just step off and lift it up the curb, then step on it and continue on.

@EdRickerVlogs

Range really depends on terrain, elevation change, weight of the person, weather temperature, etc. The 13.7 mile range is based off flat pavement with a 154lb. person at 77 degrees F. I'm about 230lb. and regularly take this in more hilly conditions, so I don't see anywhere near 13.7 miles. 3 miles does seem short for sure though.
