ECORIDER E8-2 Views?

[Ramsey252]

I know this will be controversial but due to such poor servicing and lack of ability or will to utilise my working parts I am thinking of buying Ecorider E8-2s for my tour business.
My reason is I now have a box of very expensive bits that would make at least one good segway if not two. I have spare working CU boards, BSAs and bases but the UK Segway repairers have stated that will not reuse my old parts even for a price to test and fit. I have a segway with a faulty CU board and I asked them if I send the powerbase and spare board could they test and fit/recode for a cost. They said no I have to buy a new CU board so thats a £600 board (and 3 others and 2 £900 BSAs) i have to throw away. For this reason I am looking at moving away from Segway as they are not financially viable for a business tour operator.

I am going to demo an Ecorider E8-2 and wondered if anyone had experience of them on here. The Tech sheet looks very impressive especially the waterproof and range parts? Any views would be really helpful
Thanks
