how to ride the Segway Human Transporter (HT) safely.

WARNING!

the Segway HT riders’ guide

The Segway HT is unlike anything you have ever experienced. To ride it safely you must read the Riders' Guide for your Segway HT

model and watch the Safety Video. If you don’t have the Safety Video, contact an Authorized Segway Dealer. For a list of Dealers, visit

www.segway.com. Use this guide for the following Segway HT models: i Series, p Series, Segway Cross-Terrain Transporter (XT),

and Segway Golf Transporter (GT). For other Segway HT models, contact Segway or an Authorized Segway Dealer to obtain user

materials. Check the website for updates to Segway HT user materials: www.segway.com.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY

Whenever you ride the Segway HT, you risk death or serious injury from loss of control, collisions, and

falls. To reduce risk of injury, you must read and follow all instructions and warnings in the Riders’ Guide

for your Segway HT model and you must watch the Safety Video.

Watch the Safety Video

This Riders' Guide is designed to be used in conjunction with the Safety Video. There is unique information in both

the risk of injury

The Segway HT is a self-balancing human transporter that uses patented balancing technology. Balancing

technology cannot prevent injury if you do not ride the Segway HT safely. Whenever you ride the Segway HT, you risk

injury from loss of control, collisions, and falls. It is your responsibility to learn how to safely ride the Segway HT in

order to reduce this risk. This Riders' Guide and the Safety Video are designed to help you learn.

learning to ride the Segway HT

Segway wants you to be safe and enjoy learning how to ride your Segway HT.

Think about how you learned to ride a bike, drive a car, ski, or do just about anything else involving transportation.

You probably had somebody help you learn. You started in a safe location. You started slowly. All these techniques

apply to the Segway HT.

If you carefully follow all the instructions and warnings in this Riders' Guide and the Safety Video, you should be able

to teach yourself how to ride the Segway HT, but you must be careful. If you try to teach yourself without reading this

guide and watching the video, you are at much greater risk of injury. Please don't take that risk.

Segway HT models

This guide provides instructions on how to ride the i Series, p Series, Segway XT and Segway GT models. Please

refer to the Reference Manual for model descriptions and specifications.

how the Segway HT balances

how the Segway HT balances... and how it can fall

The Segway HT’s sensors detect whether the Segway HT and rider are leaning forward or backward. The Segway HT

then immediately instructs its Wheels to roll forward or backward as necessary to stay upright. When you ride the

Segway HT, you gently lean forward to make it go forward, you center your weight over the Wheels to remain

stationary, and you gently lean backward to make it go backward. With practice, you will easily learn how to move

forward and backward, turn and stop. Whenever riding, avoid abrupt maneuvers. Fast starts, fast stops, and fast

turns are dangerous and can lead to loss of control, collisions, and falls.

Even with its balancing ability, the Segway HT, just like a person, can slip, trip, and tip over. To reduce risk of injury,

you must avoid slips, trips, and tips.

As described in this guide and the Safety Video, all Segway HT riders should first learn to ride, and practice riding, in

an area with a level, smooth riding surface with good traction, without obstructions. This applies to Segway XT and

Segway GT riders, too. Even though both models have Tires that provide increased traction, the rider must still learn

to ride as described in this guide and the Safety Video, and learn how to avoid slips, trips, and tips. All Segway HT

riders should only gradually move onto more varied or rugged terrain as their riding skills improve with practice.

how the Segway HT balances

slips

Loss of traction leads to falls.

The Segway HT Tires must grip the ground for the

machine to stay upright!

Avoid slippery surfaces.

A person slips when stepping on ice or other slippery

surfaces because the person loses traction—the

person’s shoe does not grip the surface. The

Segway HT can slip in the same way. If a Tire loses

traction, then the Segway HT cannot move to stay

upright and the rider could fall. To be safe, you must

avoid slippery surfaces, such as snow, ice, wet floors,

wet grass, or any other surface that you might slip on if

you were running. Also, remember that wet, soapy, and

oily Tires can lose traction and slip on any surface, so

use extreme caution.

Avoid loose objects and materials.

A person can also slip by stepping on a branch, cord, or

other object that rolls under foot or by stepping on

loose materials like small stones. The Segway HT can

slip in the same way. To be safe, you must avoid riding

over loose objects or materials.

Avoid steep slopes.

A person is more likely to slip walking up or down a

steep slope because he needs more traction. In the

same way, if you ride your Segway HT up or down a

steep slope, you are more likely to lose traction and fall.

To be safe, you should avoid riding up or down steep

slopes.

trips

Avoid holes, curbs, steps, and other obstacles.

If a Wheel can’t move, the Segway HT is in danger of

losing balance.

A person trips when she unexpectedly hits an obstacle

with her foot or steps into a hole or off a curb. The

person leans forward, expecting to take a normal

stride, but the obstacle, hole, or curb prevents her leg

from moving as expected, and she trips. The

Segway HT can trip in the same way. If a Segway HT

Wheel runs into an obstacle, wall, hole, or off a curb or

step, the Segway HT might not be able to move as

necessary to stay upright, and the Segway HT and rider

could fall. To be safe, you must avoid riding into holes,

walls, other obstacles, or into or off curbs or steps.

Also, you must avoid riding over any surface where the

bottom of the Segway HT may strike any object.

how the Segway HT balances

Be careful on terrain changes.

You must be very careful when riding over any terrain

change (such as from pavement to grass, or over a

threshold or speed bump). Every terrain change is a

potential obstacle.

Maintain Tire contact with the ground.

Both Tires must be in contact with the ground for the

Segway HT to have traction. You must be very careful

when riding on uneven terrain to make sure that both

Tires remain in contact with the ground. If a Tire leaves

the ground, that Wheel loses traction and you could

fall.

tips

The Segway HT balances front to back but not side-to-

side!

A “tip” is falling over sideways. People usually don’t tip

because they lean to the side to maintain balance.

Think of walking across a hill. You lean uphill to

maintain balance. Or think about running fast around a

corner. You lean into the turn. If you did not lean uphill

or into the turn, you could lose balance, tip, and fall.

Lean into turns and lean uphill.

When riding a Segway HT, you must lean in the same

way. The rider is responsible for maintaining side-to-

side balance by leaning uphill when riding across

slopes (or whenever one Wheel is higher than the

other) and by leaning into turns. If the rider fails to

actively maintain this side-to-side balance, the

Segway HT will tip sideways and the Segway HT and

rider could fall. This is why you must always lean into

turns, avoid riding across steep slopes, and lean uphill

when riding across any slope.

Segway HT safety features

Segway HT safety features... recognize and respond

speed limiter

If the Segway HT pushes the Handlebar back, slow

down!

Recognize: The Segway HT will push its Handlebar

back to slow the rider down. The speed at which the

Segway HT pushes the Handlebar back depends on a

variety of factors, including riding style, terrain,

payload, the Key used to start the Segway HT, Battery

Pack condition, and other factors (see the Reference

Manual). When you approach the maximum allowed

speed based on these factors, the Segway HT will push

the Handlebar back to slow you down. This is called

Speed Limiter.

Respond: If you feel the Speed Limiter push the

Handlebar back, stop leaning forward and slow down.

You should always leave a gap between yourself and the

Handlebar. Riding against the Handlebar can cause

loss of control, collisions, falls and injury.

Segway HT safety features

stick shake warning when riding

If you feel the Segway HT shake and hear growling

noises, slow down. If the shaking and growling noise

persist, come to a controlled stop and safely step off.

Recognize: One of the ways that the Segway HT notifies

you that you are at risk of falling is by shaking the

Handlebar and making growling noises. This is called

Stick Shake Warning. The Stick Shake Warning will

occur if you ride backward too fast or if you demand too

much power from the Segway HT, such as by riding on

a steep slope, on rough terrain, against an obstacle, or

by accelerating or decelerating abruptly.

Stick Shake Warning is more likely to occur when your

Battery Packs are low, cold, heavily used, or poorly

maintained.

See the Reference Manual for additional information

about the Stick Shake Warning, and how it can occur in

certain non-riding situations.

Respond: If you feel the Stick Shake Warning while

riding, slow down. If the Stick Shake Warning persists,

come to a stop and safely step off.
