Other than new/rebuilt batteries, I doubt there will be much advice for a machine that has sat off-charge for 3 years...

I come here rarely now and that makes me sad. My segways have become so unreliable that they are seldom used. I miss the freedom I had when I could go anywhere and feel safe.

Have you read the reference manual to understand what that means?

Could you start a new thread and give us a explanation of your Segways problems?

Hi terryp,

I just saw a news story on one of NYC's local networks about the hoverboards being illegal. Unfortunately, they also mentioned that Segways are "illegal" here, which is news to me . I thought they were just unregulated. I have always told people that they aren't illegal.
