I'm trying to be sarcastic the more actuate wording is "range can be extended indefinitely" battery module can be swap with fully charged set in less than a minute.

The only technology highlight is the rider detection (weight sensor switch under foot)

I also smell the use of steel tubes on the chassis.

The only good thing is the advertised world class service and support, It is done by end user and dealers on the field..........

OK, that is just bizarre. It will be *really* easy to clone -- especially the world class service and support!

Obviously, we can't have infinite voltage, or the universe would tear itself to shreds, and we wouldn't be discussing Segways.

Default Repair turn-around time

My dealer estimated three weeks there, plus two weeks in transit.
Just a quick update. My dealer's estimate of three weeks at the factory was right on. Not bad, IMO. Turns out there was a crack in the side of the metal console cover that allowed water to get into one motor. Both were replaced for $683, incl. tax and shipping. A note said my 1/2" plywood box, which was glued and screwed, was damaged and unusable. (Thanks UPS.)

A bit more information is available in the official safety video:

I was surprised to learn it has virtually no "balance-y" safety features. Nothing to automatically limit the throttle to prevent roll-overs, and nothing to prevent the friction breaks from locking.
