As to the range on those old batteries - 5 bars left after 7 miles isn't too bad, considering you did most of the ride at or very near top speed. Like any other battery powered device, it will get better 'mileage' at slower speeds. You ride much differently than we do - Maybe only 10 or 15% of our miles are done at top speed

You do have to keep a close eye on the width of the machine - I would venture to guess than 95% or more of the tumbles taken off Segways are caused when one wheel encounters something which impedes it's ability to turn like it wants to. The machine can't balance unless it's able to do what it needs to do with both wheels. Not something you have a problem with so much riding a unicycle I would imagine

Glad you got it up and running - Love your videos! Are you using some sort of steady-cam device?

Well I just read that tire pressure on the i2 is only supposed to be 14PSI and I am certain I pumped them higher than that so I am going to adjust the pressure and see if I notice any difference.

Yea like you said, almost that entire ride was 11mph plus so I would not expect great battery life in those conditions. I think the old set did ok all things considered.

I shoot my videos with a a GoPro Hero 3 in a foam wind jacket to break wind noise.
