is bigger and more imposing, especially on a city sidewalk or street, as I recall your city has some narrow streets with even narrower sidewalks. So think about it from someone who will be approaching you, you will be pretty scary looking on a x2

While the i2 is more designed for urban enviornments and is smaller to go on and into spaces that the x2 can not.

Remember neither machine climbs up stairs.

but both machines can go down over curbs and with LOTS OF PRACTICE other things.

I would say a i2 in a european city would work well.

And don't worry about the rain or dirt, the Segway is very tough and can handle all of that. You will of course want to clean them before bringing them inside with you.
