The cargo frames are very handy. They attach to the gearbox housings with three sturdy bolts. They also make good hand holds for lifting the machine.

I was doing some research and I'm thinking of purchasing the lower cargo frames to give me more options for securing my Segway. Does anyone know if using the lower cargo frames for securing the Segway is a good or bad idea? Also I found this company called ABUS that make some hefty looking locks. They have this lock that is a cable lock but on the outside it has a flexible metal armor made out of metal cylinders that go around the steel cable. I was thinking of using that and running it though the cargo frames to a steel post. Does anyone see a problem with that type of configuration?

I use the lower cargo frames to secure my Segway on the ferry daily. I use shock cord, not anything locking, but the principle is the same -- they provide sturdy and flexible points of attachment. I end up having to attach my Segway in a variety of different ways, as bikes take up space and make the whole situation highly unpredictable.

I don't know how I'd manage without the lower cargo frames! With them, I can make use of a lot of spaces that simply wouldn't work for bikes, but without them, I'd be out of luck.

Thanks everyone for you input.

On a side note I was gliding around town and thought I glide over to Costco since I have not been there in a while. I didn't want to leave the Segway unattended outside and to my surprise the person at the door checking the membership cards waved me inside the store. I had a great time gliding around inside Costco looking at the different items everybody seemed to not mind me gliding around and one person even wanted to take my picture to show someone what life in California was like. It was fun.

In most places, Costco, Sams, Home Depot, and Lowes are Segway-friendly.

Thanks Dale. I didn't know that. I've only owned my i2 for about 6 months now. I am trying to find new ways where I can use the car less, and the i2 more

A few years ago I made a bet with my wife. We lived about 1 mile from Safeway supermarket. First person to Segway purchase a gallon of milk and back home wins.

She had a Mustang GT, I had my Segway. We walked out the door at the same time, I hopped on my Segway and beat her home by more than a minute.

It makes a difference being able to slowly roll through the store with having to park.
