Segway HT safety features... recognize and respond
speed limiter
If the Segway HT pushes the Handlebar back, slow
down!
Recognize: The Segway HT will push its Handlebar
back to slow the rider down. The speed at which the
Segway HT pushes the Handlebar back depends on a
variety of factors, including riding style, terrain,
payload, the Key used to start the Segway HT, Battery
Pack condition, and other factors (see the Reference
Manual). When you approach the maximum allowed
speed based on these factors, the Segway HT will push
the Handlebar back to slow you down. This is called
Speed Limiter.
Respond: If you feel the Speed Limiter push the
Handlebar back, stop leaning forward and slow down.
You should always leave a gap between yourself and the
Handlebar. Riding against the Handlebar can cause
loss of control, collisions, falls and injury.
