When you are ready for your first ride, follow these
instructions in the order listed:
Make sure you have read this entire Riders' Guide and
watched the Safety Video.
1. Make sure your Segway HT is assembled and
charged as described in the separate assembly
instructions provided with your Segway HT.
The Segway GT comes with a Golf Bag Carrier with
separate instructions and warnings for proper
installation and use. Before installing the Golf Bag
Carrier, we recommend that you learn to ride as
described in this guide and the Safety Video. To
reduce risk of injury, be sure to follow those
separate instructions when installing and riding
with the Golf Bag Carrier.
2. Select an appropriate area for your first ride.
This may be an indoor or outdoor area and should
measure at least 12 feet by 12 feet (4 meters by 4
meters) with no obstructions and a level, smooth
riding surface with good traction, away from
vehicles, bicycles, pets, small children, and other
distractions.
3. You will need a friend to act as your “spotter.”
Using a spotter is the safest way to step on your
Segway HT for the first time. The spotter can also
help you with these instructions so that you can
concentrate on the procedure. If you try your first
ride without a spotter, you are at greater risk of
injury and you probably won’t enjoy the experience
as much.
Ask your friend to read you
the instructions while you
learn to ride.
