Basic Rider Optimization Training for the Segway HT Page 35 of 106

Instructor Guide and Participant Workbook Rev 3.5i - January 2004

The e Series Segway HT has two operating functions while balancing: E-Stand and Ride.

The operation of the e Series Segway HT is different from the i and p Series Segway HT in the

following ways:

> Stepping on - Entry to Balance Mode for riding

> Stepping off - Entry to E-Stand Mode

To step off, the rider steps down, off the Platform, one foot at a time. The rider must hold onto the

Segway HT until the Segway HT shifts into E-Stand, then gently release the Segway HT.

Option: If you have trouble releasing into E-Stand when holding the Grips, transfer your hold to the

Control Shaft, and release the Segway HT into E-Stand from that hold.

> The rider must hold onto the Segway HT until it is in E-Stand (park).

Instructor: Holding the Control Shaft while the rider steps off an e Series Segway HT can

mitigate undesirable movement accidentally delivered by the rider.

> Failure to hold onto the Segway HT will result in the Segway HT moving unexpectedly.

It is possible to use the E-Stand on uneven surfaces.

On a hill, in order to engage E-Stand, you must turn the

Segway HT to face perpendicular to the direction of the

slope (across the “fall-line”).

Wind creates the same affect as a hill. Turn the

Segway HT perpendicular to the wind, so it will not be

blown backward or forward.

Important: The e Series Segway HT uses specially designed bags for proper weight distribution and

requires those bags for proper, safe operation. Never operate an e Series Segway HT

without the Segway cargo bags. Do not use any other bags than those specifically

designed for the Segway HT.
