your first ride
7. Now, with your spotter helping (or just standing
nearby), practice stepping on again using the same
procedure. Before stepping on, check for the green
smiling face in the Display and that the Segway HT
moves its Wheels when you move the Handlebar.
8. After you step on, slowly lean forward and feel the
Segway HT move forward. Then stop leaning
forward and feel it slow down and stop. Do this a
few times. The further you lean, the faster it will
accelerate.
9. Now slowly lean back and feel the Segway HT move
backward. Then stop leaning back and feel it slow
down and stop. Do this a few times. You should not
ride backward except to maneuver a few feet.
Instead, turn and ride forward. There is a difference
between maneuvering backward and riding
backward; similar to the difference between
stepping back and walking backward. Maneuver
backward only when you need to open a door or
back away from an obstacle.
10. Practice going forward and back. Be careful not to
run the Wheels into any wall or other object. This
could cause loss of control and a fall.
11. Now practice turning in place. To turn in place,
slowly and smoothly rotate the Steering Grip to the
right. The Segway HT will rotate so that you turn in
place. Do the same thing to the left. Practice this a
few times in each direction.
my Segway HT is vibrating!
Did you let go of the Segway HT? The
vibration is a Stick Shake Warning. Don't
let your Segway HT move without you.
Did you walk your Segway HT some
distance? Make sure it's not in Balance
Mode when you walk your Segway HT.
