More iPhones are made in one day than Segway has sold since the beginning.

Thus, a LOT more people work on hacking/jailbreaking phones than will ever do so for the exceptionally low-volume Segs.

Having been following this forum since 2005, I really can't think of anyone who has done any hacking on the Segway operating software, and/or battery management systems. Felix Fetche has done some recent good work with battery monitoring, but it sounds like you're looking for an implementation of an I2/X2 switch. I don't know of anyone who has changed operating characteristics, or anything like that. Perhaps someone who was an insider, back when Segway expressed interest in individual customers, has different information.

The possibility of great commercial success, as envisioned by Dean Kamen, evaporated a LONG, LONG time ago.
