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.
