I bought the ramps about 2 months ago and have only had the opportunity to use them a couple of times (it's still winter in Massachusetts), but those few times they were a life saver.
And yes, riderless balance mode makes the Seg glide up the ramp and into the back of my SUV almost effortless. And yes, a bit pricey, but worth the saved back. ....SegwayJay |

The ramps solve the problem of getting the Segway into your trunk, but certainly not getting it out, which then requires a somewhat bent over lift of 8" -14" depending on the depth of your trunk.
The cost is also ridiculous. a small set of folding motorcycle ramps will save about $150. |

Ramp Kit
I have a Ford Escape Hybrid. I don't see any "lip" that you could hook these over. Has anybody made these work with a small SUV?

The ramps I had were slightly different to those pictured, they are either newer ones or older ones. They had holes in them, which I guess possible makes them slightly lighter (slightly!), helps dispurse water if your wheels are wet and a possible 3rd benefit might be to increase grip if the rubber on the tyres dips in them (which they will).
Other than that, they're the same. They come in a nice carry bag and stack snugly on top of each other. My only gripe, apart from the high cost, is that they are very heavy - this of course makes them strong, but I'm sure a lighter material could have been used. Another way to keep them evenly spaced is also to use two pieces of string. That way they're always equal and always right for your seg. An XT or x2 might not sit in the well equally good as the p133/i2/i167-i180, but would still climb in. See them in action, on my old i2, in the following video (I used riderless balance mode to effortlessly get the i2 into the boot/trunk of my estate. |

With the ram that clip at the end of the boot.. does it actually scratch the car or dent the car? I suppose for a SUV is easy to do it. But if it is a sedan will have big problem. Not much if it is going in.. but when you wanted to unload.. there may have a big problem.
