On the Road Again

Everything has worked out very well at this time. The Bioness's problem was indeed battery related and after installing a newly charged one and adjusting the battery holder in order to make firm contact with both poles, I am happy to say - "It works".
As far as the Segway, I have ordered a rebuilt set of lithium batteries (an upgrade because my main Segway came with the standard set of Ni-Cad batteries. They should be here any day now and I'm anxious to see how they will work. They are supposed to give me twice the riding time, going from app. 10-12 miles with the old ones, while the newer Lithium batteries are supposed to get me around for app. 25 miles. We'll see.
