Being 65 I do not think that should be a problem. Thinking of the minipro with the larger battery.
Segway web site takes you to amazon to place a order. Any issues with this. And last going to install the handle.
Thanks
For you input.

Being 65 shouldn't be an issue. Always step off to the rear to dismount. Stepping forward tends to try to drive the unit back under your stepping foot causing you to go down like Mike Tyson did on his hoverboard. And, never turn while backing up as the steering only directs the nose direction, not the tail.
Hold onto a counter top or wall when you first try mounting and dismounting the minipro. It is kinda like skates at first. It takes a few minutes to get your feet's micro balance efforts in sync with the MiniPro's micro balance efforts.
Be warned that some of the units in stores like Amazon, have been on the shelves so long that the battery lost all voltage and now won't take a charge. Segway support is sending replacement units to new owners who discovered theirs is dead. Annoying but they are making it right.
