i2 - to - X2 Pics
Finally got all the parts together to install the off-road wheels for the winter.
There is a BIG difference in tire diameter. All done! The top speed seems higher but doesn't feel like as much as I thought it would be. The ride is very smooth with the big tires, and this thing has no problems at all jumping up onto a full size curb now. |

Very cool, thanks for the pictures. My x2 parts are still sitting in a box. I'll probably put it together for my annual trip to Quartzsite in January.

Thats awesome!... and you got the fenders on correctly. Even my dealer has one in the showroom with the fenders on backwards LOL. So this is how you get the best of both Seg's. You should lay out all the adaptors and parts it takes to switch.

Are those standard diameter X2 wheels/tyres? They look so much bigger than the i2 wheels!

I'm betting they are AT22x7-10's like mine just not a Kenda Claw product and its good to see they fit in the fender well. OH what a difference that look makes for the i2/x2. He will love the ride and versatility of the bigger tires and won't be putting that original set of tires and rims back on... this rig is not just for snow bro.

Thanks for all the positive feedback.
Currently I am running the segway x2 adapter hub and a large 1.5" adapter/spacer to get the wheels to be the correct offset. I am currently having a one piece adapter/spacer fabricated so it's all one piece. I will post pics of everything very soon (hopefully by the end of the week) with a step by step on the swap. I will also post a full parts list with prices, I was able to save tons of money by going with the non-segway brand wheels / tires etc. I can literally change back to the I2 setup in around 5mins. |

Less the mounts, fenders, adaptor, rims and tires what's left that is different in hardware on this i2 than the factory x2? Haven't you effectively built the x2 with different rims and tires? Please keep the custom wheel adaptor specifications and blueprints for future interests. Last edited by homey; 12-07-2010 at 01:09 PM.. |

Hey Pete! You go to the world's largest swapmeet in Quartzsite? I took my Segway there for a whole week a few years ago. That's a fun place to glide. It's hard to book accomodations though; I had to get a place in Blythe.

I go with an RV club and camp out in the BLM areas along with thousands of others. A lot of people bring their ATVs there for off-roading, so this year I can go out riding with them (and run into town for the vendor displays).
