your first ride

12. After you are comfortable going forward and back

and turning in place, try riding forward while slowly

and smoothly turning the Steering Grip. Keep your

knees slightly bent and lean into the turn. Make a

few circles in each direction.

13. After you make a few circles in each direction,

practice stopping by shifting your weight. When

moving forward, you gently shift your weight back to

bring the Segway HT to a stop. Once stopped, center

your weight over the Wheels to remain stationary. If

you continue to lean back, you will move backward.

Practice choosing a spot on the ground, and coming

to a smooth controlled stop at that spot. Then

remain stationary. Avoid abrupt stops and slippery

surfaces. Stopping abruptly, especially on slippery

surfaces, can cause the Segway HT’s Tires to lose

traction, and you could fall.

14. After you practice stopping a few times, move to the

center of your riding space, stop and step off.

Remember to follow the entire procedure for

stepping off, described earlier.

As you step down off the Platform, do not lean

backward or pull back on the Handlebar, or the

Segway HT will back into you. After stepping off,

continue to hold the Handlebar. Do not let go of the

Handlebar until after you power off the Segway HT.

You must remove both feet (one at a time) before

you can power off.
