Hey @djparkin01 welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about the issues with your Fugleman. Is Segway going to be fixing it for you?
Not sure yet. The two is coming over today to check it out. It is less than two weeks old, so I certainly hope so.Hey @djparkin01 welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about the issues with your Fugleman. Is Segway going to be fixing it for you?
This is a known problem for which Segway issued a recall over a month ago. This overheating problem was also common to Polaris machines at one point and like Polaris, Segway is adding heat shielding to fix the problem. You should have receive notification of this from Segway if not the dealer from where you purchased your machine. There is more on this topic on a couple of the Segway Powersports pages. I bought my machine more than a month ago and am still waiting for the heatshield to be installed before I can take deliver.Brand new Fugleman owner here, second trip out. First trip was great: handled beuatifully, super-smooth. Second trip was a 2 km trip to friends. Pulled into the drive and noticed smoke from behind the cab. Within seconds of stopping, the smoke turned to flames. Fortunately, we were able to turn on a hose nd put the fire our with limited damage. On inital inspection, it looks like the manifold got way too hot, melted the plastic between the cab and the engine, which dripped onto the manifold and caught fire. I can't believe that I am the only one to experience this as it seems like a design issue. Anyone else?
Hey @LonestarNflorida, thanks for the info. Do you know if they sent out a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) or anything highlighting the issue? Or any dealer level info related to it?This is a known problem for which Segway issued a recall over a month ago.
