Words cannot describe how much I LOVE my Segway. It is immensely fun and easy to use. I've wanted to be able to ride something, anything, my whole life --skateboard, unicycle, ripstick, longboard, rollerblades, etc-- and never really succeeded... My legs shake so badly from anxiety, and this has prevented me from successfully learning to ride things with wheels. Sure, I was able to stay upright ~mostly~ on ice skates after literally decades of trying, but it never felt comfortable or easy. Every glide felt like I was risking my life (or limbs!) due to how shaky my legs were. Even kick scooters and bicycles feel really risky to me. Imagine my surprise when, in just minutes of my first attempt at stepping on the Segway, I'm rolling around feeling fairly secure! Stepping on it was SO easy. The self-balancing really does help tremendously, and it doesn't feel anything like stepping on a skateboard, where the board instantly wants to shoot off in every direction. Instead, it just rocks slightly and corrects itself. Moving took a bit more effort, but not much. I felt comfortable enough after the intro sequence to take it out for a brief ride.I've had my Segway for almost a month now, and have stopped driving pretty much entirely. I use the Segway every opportunity I can, and feel disappointed when I have to take the car. It is great, especially, for moving around the city, and can go almost as fast as a bike. Because I've been so successful with the Segway, and feel so secure on it, my legs actually don't shake (unless I hit a bump!). I've hit small bumps 3x or so, and managed to catch myself without any real consequence thanks to the Segway righting itself. Previously, I've hurt myself badly on skateboards and the such because they tend to shoot out in front or behind you, resulting in me tripping on them. Not so with this Segway. My mind trusts it in a way I've never trusted wheels before.What could they approve? There needs to be a scout frame or other way of attaching things to the Segway. A bar or small metal loop on the back would go a long way-- I would use this to attach a small wagon to tow things. Other ways of attaching things would also be appreciated. The size/shape is awkward because you can't put anything on it. None of the typical scooter/bike attachments will be able to attach to this. I'd like to be able to hang a very small bag, stronger lights, and tow my small wagon without having to craft my own attachment. I've ordered a lightweight scout frame that I hope will help with this.Also, this really should work with the Go-Kart like the others do. Or they can make a new Go-kart. I'd love to use it with that item.

Tons of research whether or not to get the S Plus or Max. It came down to the S Plus as the max is a heavier unit and the S Plus you can lift and put in trunk of car or carry down stairs. It’s still about 35 lbs, so not light, but lighter.It was a breeze to get up and running and there is an app. I watched a video from a kid showing the step by step unboxing to riding. Mainly because there was one odd thing I couldn’t figure out. Should have but couldn’t.And then it rained for two days- so I rode it around the kitchen island and around the house before getting into it outside. I bought a helmet but don’t want to wear it. I will, of course, esp for visibility. Got hot pink.Runs easy and smooth. Very intuitive. Stays charged.It is hard against my knee at first but that’s because I am probably too tense as I begin this journey riding. I decided I needed practice on transitions- so riding a bunch where hard floor and area rug edge meet.Overall, I am older than it recommends and prob heavier and it runs great! It will start you out in beginner mode so you can’t go very fast and will approve more speed after so many miles of beginner mode.Just use a wall or railing to step on and off for the first few times until you get your “sea legs”.I waited for the price to drop again and then snagged it! I highly recommend. There are groups online but as a beginner they treat you like a fool, and who needs that? Not me, I left them.Have fun! I recommend.
