This is my 4th Segway .. I have a gen.1, a 2006 i2 (14,000 mi.) , a 2010 i2 (4,900 mi) .. My new i2 SE has 150 mi. and I am noticing a louder gear box noise. It's more of a higher pitch than a worn gear sound. I have replaced a gear box once before on my first i2.. The thing that bothers me the most is I can see people many yards in front of me turn around to see me behind them. I have also had one resident of a pedestrian / bike path in Newport Beach comment on hearing me coming down the walkway.
? Has there been any her gliders complaining about the new gear boxes.? I remember how quite the Gen.1 gear boxes were, I just want something that doesn't attract so much attention. Can anyone comment on this?
