Segway Comfort Mat

If you're going to ride your Segway on a regular basis for any significant length of time, say longer than 20 minutes, then you're absolutely going to want a set of these.

Honestly, I don't understand why they're optional. They ought to be standard.

It adds some comfort to long glides, but it's not a miracle and doesn't take the place of a suspension system.

I2 Comfort Mats are great looking
 
Better than the old Gen One, and works great. Cleans easy too

Definitely more comfortable for longer rides. I'm really glad I have mine.

I have no problem with the comfort mats, I like them, and think they are good to have...

But I had made others before they came out which did the same job or even better, and cost pennies compared to the several dollars these cost.

I think they are over priced, as most segway stuff is, but it is not like you can go somewhere else... The quality is top notch, again, a standard for Segways, they do it right generally, but not cheap...

I cannot imagine how anyone can call them easy to clean. Mine always have some debris in them... There are too many nooks and crainies. On the gen 1 and on the units I made, they were solid closed cell foam, so there was no place for the dirt to hide...

Pam,
By not rating the mats, your N/A's mess up the average (can't figure out the arithmetic).

Check again. Zero doesn't work. "One" doesn't work either. Don't know whether the original "reviewer's" numbers are included or not, but it doesn't work either way. Take the "Work as Described" -- either 5 of 6, or 4 of 5 have a rating of 5. The lowest the average should be is 4, but it shows 3.50.

Should be all fixed.

Please note that members do not have to leave a comment in order to rate things... So if you just add up comment ratings, you're going to be shy a few.

We may turn the requirement on that you must leave a comment in order to rate, just so people can be held to some narrative about their ratings too.

My Favorite Accessory
 
I cannot imagine riding my commute without my comfort mats.

They feel great, they integrate nicely with the machine (something I felt previous comfort mats did pretty poorly, as they basically just sat there), and give the machine a cool look.

I guess if I had to clean them I'd say that they're hard to clean? I don't know, I try to keep my feet clean in general, not just because I use a PT, but because it makes sense to not track dirt everywhere. Maybe it's because I'm a "city-boy," but I can't remember the last time I walked extensively on a surface that wasn't man-made.

Not Easy to Clean...
 
I use my I2 on the golf course and one thing I found is that a lot of grass collects on the comfort mats and is not always so easy to get out.... Does not stop me from using the mats, but it's a good thing to know up front.
