rules to ride by
> Don’t ride in the dark.
Do not ride the Segway HT in low visibility
conditions without a light. To ride safely, you must
be able to clearly see what is in front of you and you
must be clearly visible to others.
> Be relaxed.
Ride in a relaxed position with your knees and
elbows slightly bent and head up.
> Be prepared to stop.
Be especially careful when approaching or crossing
intersecting streets, driveways, corners, doorways,
and other areas where you may need to slow down
or stop to avoid motor vehicles, bicyclists, or
pedestrians.
> Be alert.
As with any other transportation device, you must
be mentally alert to safely ride a Segway HT. Do not
attempt to ride if you are ill or if you cannot comply
fully with the instructions and warnings in this
guide. Do not ride under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
> Avoid distractions.
Do not use a cell phone, listen to headphones, or
engage in any other activity that might distract you
or interfere with your ability to monitor your
surroundings while riding.
> Don’t ride backward.
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 necessary to open a door or
back away from an obstacle.
> Never restart and ride your Segway HT after it has
indicated an empty battery condition or performed
a low battery Safety Shutdown.
The Segway HT may not have enough power to keep
you balanced, especially if you demand a lot of
power at once. If you restart and continue riding,
you risk falling. Also, you may damage your Battery
Packs resulting in reduced Battery Pack life and
capacity.
> Never let go of a balancing Segway HT.
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.
> Riding on the road.
The Segway HT is not intended or recommended for
primary use on streets or roads. If you must ride on
the road, or must cross the road, be extremely
careful. Ride as far away from traffic as possible.
Allow plenty of time for crossing roads. Remember,
the Speed Limiter or an unexpected obstacle could
slow your crossing. Check to make sure that riding
on the road is allowed by law.
