Just wanted to make everyone aware of the risk. I see the risk as relatively low, because this model is highly reliable; built like a tank, unlike cheaper brands (e.g. Hiboy). In addition, it comes with the 90 day Woot warranty and you can purchase an additional 2-year warranty through Asurion via Amazon.
I bought a P65 and really like it. It's over 60 lbs, so it's not something you really want to be carrying around, but compared to many of the other e-scooters I see coming out of China, the Segways, and esp the Segway P Series scooters (as well as the GTs), are made/engineered much nicer. The Segway's seem to be the Honda/Acuras of the e-scooter world.
Maybe the OP can opine - why would you choose the G30P at $600 over the P65 at $1,000, for ex?

Of course you can always spend more for something better. Obviously the P65 is much better than the G30, as is the $1000 G2. In fact, some people prefer the G2 over the P65 for it's suspension and lighter weight, but I don't want to get into a scotter debate. To each his own. I posted this deal because it's $100-200 cheaper than what the G30 normally sells for, so for those that know what they want/need and have been eyeing the G30, I hope they benefit from the deal post.

The above said, glad you posted the deal. I think this scooter does make sense for your use scenario, but I also think (IMO) the P65 is worth the extra $400 vs this in many other scenarios.
EDIT - and one other note. I do see the G30P is selling for $800 on Segway.com's website, so I TU'ed the deal as well. At $200 less than Segway.com, the Woot price is clearly a good deal on this specific model.

+G30 has earned it's reliability record
+G30 comes with the self healing in the tires already
+G30 is notably lighter
-P65 has higher weight capacity at 260 or close to that
-P65 has indicators/blinkers
-P65 has more standing real estate
-P65 is a newer model (theorethical improvement YoY?)
Even at same price, I was not convinced on the P65 but at $599, i ordered this yesterday.

Also, your list basically leaves out important criteria such as power and speed, as well as max distance (in economy mode for ex).

I think you are being a tiny bit unreasonable in your comparison of pros and cons between the P65 and the G30. People have different priorities and while you may value speed (25MPH for P65 vs 20MPH for G30) others do not, or even see it as a detriment because in some states going over 20MPH makes you a different vehicle class and can affect insurance if you get hit by a car (note: I am not a lawyer, please figure out the laws yourself and treat my statement as dubious until then).
For someone coming home from a long day at classes or from work or whatever, having to lug 50+ lbs of uncomfortable gear is a big deal. It doesn't seem like it, but 10 - 12lbs makes a huge difference especially when climbing up stairs.
The P65 is a great scooter, but I think the value of it is really in its commuting ability -- i.e. going from home to an office and back. Whereas someone who wants to use the scooter to go to parties or to the grocery store and throw it in their cart, or maybe not worry so much about having a $1000 scooter get stolen vs one 60% of the price, these are all considerations.
I encourage everyone thinking about purchasing a scooter to evaluate your needs and get what makes the most sense for them.

Amazon Prime shipping has really spoiled us I guess. These look like a lot of fun though! Maybe one day I'll get it. LOL
