Wow, not bad! I saw one of those here recently and looked them up...but I figured that they are really too expensive to just get to try out.

How do you feel about carrying it around? It's not very lightweight, right?

Carrying it short distances is no big deal, but not ideal. They range from 15 pounds all the way up to 40 pounds depending on battery size, wheel size, and materials quality. Most people ride the smaller sizes; beginner units tend to be lighter, as most riders upgrade to bigger wheel sizes for a smoother ride or bigger batteries for longer range.

The lowest priced one I've found that has a reasonably safe battery size is about 400 dollars. I don't want to spam it up here so PM me if you want a link
