★★★★☆
The method it uses to limit speed is ridiculous.
Imagine a car which has a maximum speed that is say 55 then have the car automatically beep and ram the breaks not when you go ver 55 but the minute you hit 55. This is the way this Segway is programmed if your speed touch 10mph? The penalty id annoying beeps, not a big deal but, it also has the platform push back a dangerous action ironically put in place as a safety feature. It reduce your speed to nearly 8mph. WTF? It's nearly impossible to ride this otherwise fun machine and slowdown at 9.9MPH to avoid the unsafe penalty. The way you can is to unsafely hols your phone to monitor your speed to avoid the unsafe penalty. Stupid programming has resulted in a nagging problem that is nearly impossible to avoid unless you have some but in speedometer that allows you to recognize your speed with the precision of a decimal point. SEGWAY FIX THIS ISSUE. My comments are echoed by many, many other wherever this thing is reviewed.
