I've been considering moving the Inverter to the inside of the Element and just running power cords from it to the Segways. Can anyone with a lot of miles with the SegVator comment?
I do admit, that although it rains a lot here, we've never been caught in a downpour while the segvator was tagging along. We have, however, been in more than one "rain". The box that the inverter is in seemed to keep the inverter dry.
I don't think that I would try charging our Segs during a rainstorm.
One more bit of advice. I found some miniature bungie cords at the Dollar Store. I use them to keep the door to the inverter from flopping about while I am driving and charging.
