Riding Tips and Safety Guidelines Recap (cont.)
• Leave a gap! Leave a gap between yourself and the Handlebar. Do not lean over or into the Handlebar.
Leaning over or into the Handlebar dramatically increases the risk of loss of control, collisions, and falls.
• Do not ride the PT if you suffer any impairment to balance.
• The PT has not been designed, tested, or approved as a medical device. You must be able to step on
and off the PT unassisted, which requires physical abilities similar to ascending and descending stairs
without assistance and without holding the handrail.
• Segway recommends that you not allow children to ride your PT unless: (a) you have first learned to ride, so that you understand the
care and skill required to ride safely; (b) the child has read this entire Manual and watched the entire Safety Video; and (c) you are
satisfied that the child has the knowledge, maturity, and physical ability to ride safely without endangering him/herself or others.
As a general rule, Segway recommends that riders be at least 16 years of age. Keep in mind, all Segway PT riders must weigh at least
100 lbs in order to activate the rider detect system.
Report All Incidents
If you or any other user of your PT is involved in an accident, or if your PT performs in a way that you do not intend or in a way that it is not
supposed to, contact Segway Technical Support.
