If battery packs (that have been cared for) are expected to last about 8 years with regular use, I guess it would be about $200/year. Not horrible but not cheap, either. I'm guessing the cost of the electricity used for the life span would be less than that. Between batteries and the cost of the machine, Segways aren't the cheapest vehicles out there. Still, I think their quality and versatility makes them worth every penny. By far and away the favorite of my vehicles.
