I use State Farm as well, they now have separate insurance for the Segway it runs about $100 a year. It's listed as a "mini bike" just like my Honda C-50 when I was 10 years old...

Welcome!

Thanks for the information, Jeff. I'll give State Farm a holler. It appears that I'll have to name my Segway, too... Or does that just kind of happen of its own accord?

Have a great day!

I already had State Farm and added the Segway for about $70 per year, which covers theft and liability.

My wife and I glide to work most mornings, then we meet for lunch at home, then glide back to work...and meet up after work again for the ride home. I have attached a backpack to the handle bar and strapped it around the neck so it's "snug". We will stop at the store and "fill it" then glide home sometimes 12 miles in a day. Love the looks, love the questions and it's like the sidewalks were built just for us. Rarely do we run into anyone else using them.
Gas just hit $4.40 p/g here in Northern California. We load them in the truck and take them when we travel. It's the best investment I did!!!! Last year we bought two 2006 I180 models for $3500.00 each in Sacramento - NEW. I expect they will pay for them selves in another year.

I very rarely run into other gliders. But, during my weekend visit in San Diego, I spent most of the day gliding around the city and Balboa Park and happened upon a nice older couple on a pair of white i2s in the park. They said they take their Segways on all their travels. It was truly a rare encounter, and made a gorgeous day even better!

I WOULD NEVER BUY FROM SAMS CLUB. What would they say when you had a problem?

Thanks kindly to all of you for your input. I've read lots of threads, and of particular interest was the one with the 17 mile commute one way! I remain smitten, and am researching my options. Like everyone else, price certainly weighs as a factor, but equally important to me is easy and accessible service and assistance. I've got feelers out to several dealerships in my area, and most likely will be riding my own by...oh, let's say Wednesday! (If I can pull it together, it'll be tomorrow...)

Since the unit is shipped directly from corporate, you would deal with a local dealer or Segway. What does it matter who you buy it from? You have to go through a dealer or corporate anyway for anything related to the warranty.
