Sorry to hear that, hope you recover soon, I had the same experience upon testing a unit before repairing it, lucky I recover fully after 2 weeks. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...14643135317459
Again, when this error code appeared, stop using the unit, it doesn't worth the risk and should send in for repair right away. sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk APP |

I will say it again, FedEx! It will leave today. The longer you try to ride it you may be jeopardizing your warranty. Stop riding it!! It is defective and needs to be returned!
Just curious. Had you ever ridden a Segway before buying? Taken a tour or test ridden different models at a dealer? Gotten training from someone who knew what they were talking about? Did you watch the safety video you received when you bought? Not trying to insult but trying to ride when it has given a safety shut down no less than 15 times is not very smart. Didn't they tell you what a safety shut down meant???? |

An update:
The dealer, SK Northwest, said that because my Segway had exceeded 10 miles they couldn't offer me a new replacement, as per Segway Inc's returns policy, but did offer expedited repairs and a 6-month warranty extension. I turned this offer down and after some quick negotiations got a brand new Segway i2-SE unit, albeit with my old batteries (to be fair, they were lightly scuffed). It arrived on Saturday after my friend dropped it off at my house (it would have been Wednesday but he was unwell, shame). The odo says I've done about 15km on it already and I've had no problems - though this new unit does seem to slowly and slightly turn to the right if I rock back-and-forward with my hands off the leansteer frame - is that normal? |

Are your tires filled with correct and EVEN pressure? As for rocking it back and forth with no hands?...be carful...segs are not happy going backwards.... With all the questions on how it rides what it does....I think renting a unit first would of been a far better help for you? MHO.. Good luck and glide safe. |

Perhaps tire pressure (as suggested by airdale). Perhaps the wind is blowing the leansteer a bit (a common happening). Perhaps the you have a bag hanging on the handlebars? Perhaps the leansteer isn't exactly attached verticaly. Etc. |

The new LS frames are secured at the pivot by the factory, and should be perfect. Removal of the sub LS frame for shipping etc. is done up higher now, and does not affect the pivot assembly verticality. |

Non of any road or ground is flat, because rain and stormwater need to run off to the kerb or side of the road, which often make the sensitive Segway to turn slightly on "flat" surface.
