The soreness is more of a fatigue thing as just a moment or so off the Segway makes all the difference. I think leaning forward a little bit, to go forward, is putting pressure on your foot to keep the platform tilted. Not sure. I just know a break is needed occasionally.

Are the full size Segways, with their larger platforms, causing sore feet on long rides? Maybe some leaning pressure is put onto the handle bars thereby relieving stress on the feet?
I never really used to get sore feet on my i2, but yeah, the mini kills my feet. I got a handlebar setup on the way this week and I'll let you know if it helps any with the feet soreness...
