Yeah, Segway should do something about this. If the new firmware (1.4.5) has been pulled off already (as I've heard), it should be downgradeable for us who have installed the new one.
IMO, the problem with the 1.4.5 firmware seems to be that whenever the throttle is released, the braking kicks in too agressively. And for the same reason, when going downhill, it's hard to brake smoothly.
This would maybe be justified if it saves the dashboards from burning but just for handling the scooter the new firmware doesn't seem to be any better, or more safe?
Otherwise, I really like the product (ES1 with the extra battery).
