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.

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.
