So I don't mean to crap on this thread, but I did want to share my experience. In other threads on this deal, there was discussion about whether an extended warranty for these units is available. Posters mentioned that after you receive an invoice on your Newegg account, there should be an option to purchase an extended warranty. I am NOT seeing this option on my invoice page.

I bought one of these a little over a week ago. It arrived in decent shape -- a few scuffs, but only 12 miles registered on the app. I was really happy with it cosmetically.
Unfortunately though, it appears DOA, as I cannot get the throttle or brake to engage. I checked online and haven't found a lot of resources or guidance for this particular issue. Thankfully, this is covered by Newegg's "no hassle" warranty through early January, so I can exchange or return if I cannot figure out what's going on. But so far as I can tell, after that expires, I am on my own. Again, I don't see any option to purchase an extended warranty through Newegg.

To be honest, after this experience, I am sort of lukewarm on whether I want to exchange for a working unit, or just get my money back. These things seem sort of finnicky, and there's very little "official" technical support available. The manufacturer phone number Newegg provided is to a cell phone with no voicemail box (I tried three times). And I didn't see much online in the way of official guides or FAQs. The Segway app links to community forum, where users try to crowdsource each other's problems. Seems pretty lazy on Segway's part. I'm going to see if I have better luck calling the tech support line on Segway's site. But I'd hate to be in this position once the Newegg return period closes.

That said, if anybody has thoughts or technical advice, I am all ears.

Same happened to me but it was actually my bad. i did not know I have to make it go faster than 5m/h before I can trigger the throttle. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I thought the throttle threshold was 5 km/H, no? Also, it was just the throttle, or the brake and the throttle? Because I cannot get either one to work. It seems odd that I'd need to be going at least 5 mph for the brakes to work. LOL.

There is no option for extended warranty on this. Either through Newegg or Squaretrade.

No worries. Just checking. I think I was going over 5 mph as well, but I can double-check when I am home. And when your throttle wasn't working, were the brakes?

In my instance, it is super weird. When I push the brake trigger, the brake lights light up, but I don't get any braking resistance. Clearly the trigger works, as it causes the lights to fire. Not sure what's wrong.

Same to me, brake wasn't doing anything but activate the light.

Just got this delivered yesterday. The scooter had a broken piece of plastic on the underside of the bottom and I got Error 42 right out of the box. Already spoke to them about returning the scooter.

take off the extra battery it has only 2 screws, clean the terminal and the plug with alcohol and put back on and see if that error goes away, it should.

Only other thing I can think of besides reseating the battery that someone already suggested is to do a factory reset/reboot.
