Re: Choosing a Battery

Eric,
Please keep in mind that in a two wheel configuration, the motors will need to be capable of accelerating to a higher speed than your target in order to accomplish balance. As I remember the Segway is driven via toothed belts and max speed on the police version is I believe 24 MPH.
