Over 15,000 miles on Segways!!

[Florida Ever-Glides]

I just figured out the numbers. My 10 HT's have a combined 15,000 miles of use. That is in just 4.5 months. That a lot of riders and a lot of fun experiences. The value...Priceless.

I am know having to replace the batteries on my oldest machines, which aren't that old...

My Segway is one year old today. I may have a many as 200 miles on mine. But, as the weather gets warmer, I plan on logging quite a few more miles. I'll use it more this year than last year. If I could locate any other owners in Tidewater Virginia, I'm certain I'd ride it more often.

Tom, have you tried completely draining the batteries and recharging? I don't know if you've had the time between tours to do that, but it might help get the battery time back up again. I know it helped me.

Are you ready for the cost of possibly of having to replace parts? Have either of you consitered getting that certification that used to be provided by Segway for advanced maintince?
just a thought

In 1946, the first TV toy commercial aired. It was for Mr. Potato head.

Canada is an Indian word meaning "Big Village".

All 50 states are listed across the top of the Lincoln Memorial on the back of the $5 bill.

The average American/Canadian will eat about 11.9 pounds of cereal per year.

Pam,

I now have spare sets of batteries and a off-board charger. I have started to alternate 'deep cycle charges' with all of the machines. My first units batteries are just worn out. They will last about 1.5 hours on a charge, but that is not enough to last a tour.

I have only had to replace one left fender and one control shaft out of 1,600 riders. That's not too bad...
