Yup ... they're all pretty sweet, but that is the lastest Gen 1 machine - the i180. They are not in production any longer.

All of the Gen II machines have the new steering technology - called "LeanSteer", where the entire control shaft leans left or right to turn, rather than twisting the left grip. Turning is now much more intuitave - just like forward and back. See pictures attached (The new X2 is not shipping yet). More info HERE.

AND ... I'm not a fan of rap by any means, but I LOVE the video ...

That is by far the best funniest music video I've seen in a long time.

Hahaha! That was my Segway. (Or it could have been Sam riding it, as she "borrowed" it for a large part of the afternoon.
