more ROAR since 2004

[inventor]

with my L-ion's heading into the sunset and the possibility that this will be their summer before retirement does anyone know if the next set i purchase will have more range or power than the 2004's i own? has battery technology advanced in the last couple years for segway?

have we gone nuclear yet? :)

Without starting/spreading rumors, I'd suggest limping along as long as you can (preferably till the end of 2008) with your existing batteries. If you are forced to do something, I also want to point out that an XT can be run on NiMH. So you could buy a PAIR of used NiMH for $200, pump up your tires and get decent range.

But I do want to also add that my suggestion isn't suppose to save you money. There isn't anything cheap and exciting around the corner. Just exciting! 8^) 8^) 8^)

Well, you may not have wanted to start or spread a rumor, but I believe you just did. :D

i see ;) i like surprises as long as it does not obligate me to buy a new model.

i'm perfectly happy with the rugged look and feel of my rigid stick GEN1 XT. i ride by the leansteer cruisers at the mall with the security cops looking so wimpy standing behind those pixie stick handlebars. i really appreciate my after market ATV knobbies and my new steel handlebar guard.

so far segway has not captured my attension with the i2 or the X2, i think they have done their best work with XT.
