Glad you like your i2. They look very comfortable.

Scary? Is it because people are comparing death and injury rates for Elites vs. x2's? I think people are trying to make Ninebots sound scary. As if Segway i2's, x2's, and such, haven't killed people and seriously injured others. Their high price has not made them safe as many have found out the hard way.

Advance tech in Ninebots can be frightening, for some. Modern electronics, new batteries, and brushless motors, mean Segway type devices no longer need cost $7,000 or weigh 100+lbs. It is no longer a boutique product bought by a small group of customers and the unlimited budget government.
