Default Segway Dealer

I recently had a good experience with Segway of Jacksonville, Oregon. Ordered a new pair of batteries for my x2. Delivery problems from the Segway, Inc. mostly related to Snowstorms. SJO made an extra effort to get the batteries to me quickly. They are great to work with.

I'm glad you had a good experience. It's just too bad that, for people in the Portland area, Jacksonville is pretty much the "middle of nowhere." There are only three authorized dealers in Oregon, and two of them are essentially in rural areas that are hard for many people to access.

Segway of Jacksonville and Corvallis both have excellent reputations - my point is just that I don't understand the odd distribution of dealers in Oregon.

Well I have one....Its 2 hours away....Jacksonville had no tax, free shipping , and a great price....

I don't drive, so no matter what distance is not a factor, cause its a pain any way I slice it...

Bells and horns illegal? When I'm gliding on a bike bath, I have a small wind chime I attach to the handle bars. It won't scare anyone but does catch their attention...

I'm sorry, but this is just plain wrong. There is a ban on using sirens or whistles with an EPAMD in Oregon, but using an audible alert (like a bell or horn) is actually mandatory.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought that very strange. Sirens and whistles are disruptive and startling. I wish that was part of MO law! A bike rider going way beyond the trails 10mph limits scared the day lights out of me one day.....
