Deri,

I've always wanted to try one of these Segways as I can't walk long  
distances, but don't really want to have to rent a wheelchair when on  
vacation.  But, I always thought I would have issues using it because  
my balance sucks.  What was your feeling on it?  Anyone else have  
experience?  How heavy are these things to transport?  If I could use  
it, I think it would be better than a scooter as far as  
transportability.  Any opinions??
