Alex Markin, Jeremyg or Saintoll told you personaly that it was their excessive riding attitude ? Rocky Romero, this is a defect, it's dangerous, seriously it can break at any time, down a sidewalk or through a bump it has nothing to do with riding attitude, it is the succession of bumps and obstacles that favor the breaking of the bodyframe the bodyframe must not break! Never! It must be the strongest part of the Mini, it's like a car, you roll and your four axles break imagine: You have traveled 3000 km with your Mini You spent a lot of bumps, sidewalks one day, you roll on a small road, cars overtake you, there are some bumps, and suddenly your left wheel breaks Imagine the following 2016 first edition user manual : 85-185lbs Actual edition user manual: 85-220lbs 100kg/220lbs the bodyframe should not break "aerospace magnesium alloy frame" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Romero Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 50 minutes ago, jojo33 said: and I prove what I say..........(my gif doesnt work) I avoid street riding. Period. You mentioned 3 instances where the mainframe broke. I don’t know the particulars on those situations, however, that seems to be isolated instances. Stronger steel frames, if that’s possible, would be one answer from Segway. For myself, I expect years of MiniPro usage, riding on sidewalks that are smooth with minimal bumps. Segway continues to build a reputation of safety and reliability. Hopefully, the isolated instances of failure are resolved within the warranty period. ➰ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo33 Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 I think it's important that the owners do a check of these sensitive parts Steering bar & Steering shaft, & tires too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icom Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I remember seeing these pictures a while ago. The owner was constantly riding off curbs on purpose. If you are constantly forcing your minipro to ride off the ledge and do a hard landing, you probably will break something. And he did. Safe to say, most of us are NOT doing this.

This would prompt Segway to provide restrictions: Not to ride on streets Not to ride off slopes or sidewalks higher than 2 inches. No weight greater than 180 pounds Not to ride unless certified safety compliance No riding without helmets, lights (front & back) on the person, horn or hand bell No riding closer than 5 feet of any objects No riding at night. ➰ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo33 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 for people who have never experienced a fall in MINI, it is normal that it is difficult to imagine how dangerous it is. Those who have already fallen from a MINI understand that this is very serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
