Welcome to the
World of Gliding.
While the mini's are receiving a lot of interest due to their pricing, they are not as fully
functional for lack of a better word as a true Segway i2 or SE model.
If your purchase is a toy or for occasional usage like those
twice a year long bicycle rides we all take instead of regular exercise biking
Then a mini could be fun.
However, if you are planning for regular usage; gliding to the corner store, doing light shopping at the shops 3-miles away, hauling the machine on your road trips for increased local exploring. Then I would encourage you to really look at a true Segway, new or used.
You can not beat the operating range, quality, design, or reliability of an i2 / SE model.
