It is rather straight forward, perhaps even a design fault.
Think of your TV sitting idle for a few weeks, just waiting for you to press a button on your remote.
In the TV scenario, yes your TV consumes a few cents worth of power over that time.
No big deal.
Now for a battery powered device like your Segway.
That's a bit worse.
It is sitting there waiting for you to insert the key.
Over an extended period, yes it will drain the one battery that is powering the internal computer stuff.

Charge your batteries once a week ( OK one a fortnight is probably OK too ).
2
Do not pull it apart.
The risk is great that you will cause damage.
