your first ride

15. To power off the Segway HT, press and hold the

Mode Button for two seconds, until the Display

shows an orange sleepy face (the Display segments

vary depending on software version). The Display

will then go blank, indicating the Segway HT is

powered off.

Never let go of your Segway HT when in Balance Mode,

because the Segway HT will travel some distance on its

own before shutting down. The Segway HT will not

travel very far if you let go of it when it is stopped. But, if

you let go of it when it is moving at any speed, it could

travel much farther, risking injury to others and

damage to the Segway HT.

Congratulations, you completed your first ride! You

may feel that you are now ready for riding out in the

real world, but you’re not. Before you are ready for

the real world, you must 1) practice so that you

maneuver the Segway HT with the same precision as

you walk; and 2) learn to quickly identify and avoid the

situations that could cause slips, trips, and tips.
