My girlfriend and I just purchased $250 Segway MiniLites off of Amazon - we are pretty excited to try them out when they get here on Saturday. I was reading about the differences between the Lite, the Pro, and the Plus and the only concern I have is with the height of the center bar.

I weigh 165lbs and am 5'11", and my girlfriend is about 130lbs and only 5'4". I don't think she'll have an issue with the height.

I saw that you can replace the middle bar with actual handlebars, which could be an option to make it more Segway-like, but I would like to know if the middle bar would be replaceable with the one from the MiniPro, or if this would even be a worthwhile endeavor to look into.

I'm just afraid that the bar will only come up to my calves and it will be difficult to steer and maneuver. Am I thinking too much into this? Thanks for any suggestions and help!
