Avoiding Trips
Trips occur when the Segway PT’s Wheel or
Powerbase encounters an obstacle or terrain change
that prevents the Segway PT from moving, bringing it
to an abrupt stop and potentially causing a fall.
 Avoid holes, curbs, steps, and other obstacles.
 Avoid riding over any surface where the
bottom of the Segway PT may strike any
object.
 Use caution when riding over any terrain
change such as pavement to grass, or over a
threshold or speed bump.
Remind the rider that width of the
Segway PT is slightly wider than
your shoulders.
Emphasize if you trip you will most
likely fall.
Avoiding Tips
The Segway PT balances front to back but not side-
to-side.
You are responsible for maintaining side-to-side
balance by leaning into turns. If you fail to actively
maintain this side-to-side balance, the Segway PT
can tip sideways and fall.
 Avoid riding across steep slopes.
 Lean into turns and lean uphill when riding
across gentle slopes.
 Keep the LeanSteer Frame vertical when
riding across a slope.
 Avoid turning on slopes or ramps.
 Never let go of the Handlebar when riding
across a slope. The Segway PT will turn
downhill and you could lose your balance.
 Stay centered on narrow sidewalks or elevated
paths.
 Avoid turning when maneuvering backward.
 Make sure that one Wheel does not drop off a
curb.
Emphasize if you tip you will most
likely fall.
