The top speed. Being used to the i2, you really want to push the mini, especially when you stick handlebars on it.

Self balancing doesn't turn off when you step off of it, so when the handlebars are on, it will run away from you if you let go of it. Can be fixed with a simple coil leash type clipped onto your belt though.
I would add to that list: NO redundancy of systems / circuitry. Not safe enough for me.
