Assuming that both were avalible, which would you get? Are there any advantages or disadvantages to either? Also, how does the eletronic kickstand work? Does it deply automatically or do you have to hit a button?

I would get the I series. The E series does feature an "electronic kickstand" meaning it can stay self-balanced w/o a rider, but it comes at an additional cost.. plus more weight and "bulkier" design. The E series utilizes the cargo rack mounted on the handle bar to provide a "top heaviness" for the Segway-HT to self-balance. Imagine the cargo rack mimics the rider when he/she isn't standing on the Segway-HT. That, plus a software difference, are the major differences...

Oh, and the E series can also carry 75lbs in addition to the rider... so perhaps the E series is a bit more powerful? Not sure - need someone who knows for sure to chime in and let us know.

I think they're probably both equally powerful... utilizing the same motors and amount of batteries. Not sure about that...
