avoid slips, trips, and tips
Now that you know how to ride, reread the sections of
this guide on slips, trips, and tips (pages 7 and 8). You
must learn to identify and avoid slippery surfaces, loose
materials, steep slopes, and obstacles.
turning
Because fast turns can be dangerous, turn the Steering
Grip slowly. Always lean into the turn. Hold the Steering
Grip loosely and be careful not to unintentionally turn it.
Practice your technique!
terrain features
With practice you can learn to ride over many different
types of terrain, provided you avoid slippery surfaces,
loose materials, steep slopes, and obstacles. Always
proceed slowly over unfamiliar terrain. Lean uphill
whenever one Wheel is higher than the other. Never
allow the Segway HT to become airborne, even for
short periods of time, because the Segway HT has no
traction when airborne and you could lose control
upon landing.
