The e Series Segway HT has two operating functions while balancing: E-Stand and Ride.
The operation of the e Series Segway HT is different from the i and p Series Segway HT in the
following ways:
> Stepping on - Entry to Balance Mode for riding
> Stepping off - Entry to E-Stand Mode
To step off, the rider steps down, off the Platform, one foot at a time. The rider must hold onto the
Segway HT until the Segway HT shifts into E-Stand, then gently release the Segway HT.
Option: If you have trouble releasing into E-Stand when holding the Grips, transfer your hold to the
Control Shaft, and release the Segway HT into E-Stand from that hold.
> The rider must hold onto the Segway HT until it is in E-Stand (park).
Instructor: Holding the Control Shaft while the rider steps off an e Series Segway HT can
mitigate undesirable movement accidentally delivered by the rider.
> Failure to hold onto the Segway HT will result in the Segway HT moving unexpectedly.
It is possible to use the E-Stand on uneven surfaces.
On a hill, in order to engage E-Stand, you must turn the
Segway HT to face perpendicular to the direction of the
slope (across the “fall-line”).
Wind creates the same affect as a hill. Turn the
Segway HT perpendicular to the wind, so it will not be
blown backward or forward.
Important: The e Series Segway HT uses specially designed bags for proper weight distribution and
requires those bags for proper, safe operation. Never operate an e Series Segway HT
without the Segway cargo bags. Do not use any other bags than those specifically
designed for the Segway HT.
