He saw it on one of those MTV or VH1 back in history videos! ;-)

new I2
 
Got my 'new' I2 today,, ok it's used but was able to buy it locally. Put some mileage on it today and have been trying it only left handed and i'm glad i did before my surgery. Will take a bit getting used to it one handed but i'll be practicing everyday!! This thing is a blast!!:D

Is a right arm required? :confused:

what i tried to say is that one good arm hand should be fine i would recommend an x2 with leansteer one arm is all that i needed getting on and off isnt much of a problem if i lean in a good stable spot like a wall or polr i say x2 because it has the big knobby low pressure tires
better cushiony ridemight be easier on your surgery i also would suggest that you take a tour before surgery so you know = learn while ur good not after?

I have trained many people on any of my 6 Segways since 2004 ,
I even trained Buzz Aldrin whom I met during a scuba diving convention in Miami Beach Florida call DEMA ( Diving Equipment Manufacturers Association )
So credentials given, I found that any Segways non Lean and Steer are better suited to these activities including carrying loads,
I always offer a training to any Handicapped person that happen to cross my path within reason, so 1 legged , missing hand and or arm, etc
I even put some Parkinsons elder people on my HTs, that rigid T is precious,
Parkinson stop shaking the second they have a reference point of connection, it can be the little finger touching something rigid,
This being said, I love hot dogging any Segways on burms, LV desert etc,
and yes, I am ADA,

no right arm needed on an x2 with the leansteer feature you might get a lesson in before your surgery so you dont traumatize your healing the big fat tires with the knobby tread i would highly recommend and learn to lean it to get on and offlow air pressure in the fatty tires is a lot smoother ride even going up and down curbs 4-5 psi is a soft ride easier on the stitches etc

We have also found it to be a great handle for a trainer to hold on to while a newbie mounts the machine. Try it, you'll like it!!!!! Mikey likes it!!!!!:):D:):D
Thanks for this good idea!
