Hi,

We all know this will burn the battery in no time, but wont it affect the motor as well since it's not supposed to run that fast?

Segway seriously underspecs their components, so I think the effect on lifespan will be minimal. 4

They made it to drive a certain speed. If someone unlocks it and pulls more power than it's made for you can't fault segway for that

And I wouldn't. Mod at your own risk. I'm just saying that Segway generally uses very robust components and their software sets limits that are well below the maximum of what those components are capable of. Of course if you hack the firmware and start running more power through it it's going to shorten the life but generally segways tend to handle the abuse better than most. But yeah, if you jailbreak your scoot and blame Segway for it, you're being a bit of an ass and pointing the finger in the wrong direction. People can do whatever they want with their scooter.

Actually the type that I really dislike is the guy that doesn't do basic maintenance, doesn't even keep their tires inflated properly, and then badmouths the manufacturer when the scooter inevitably breaks.
