Step 8: Turning
The Segway PT turns in the direction that you lean the Handlebar. You turn
the PT by leaning the Handlebar left or right.
Turning In Place
First, practice turning in place. To turn in place, slowly pivot the Handlebar
to the side in the direction that you want to turn. The PT will rotate in that
direction, turning in place. Practice turning to the right and to the left using
this technique.
Turning While Moving
After you are comfortable going forward and backward and turning in place,
try slowly riding forward and turning at the same time. Keep your knees
slightly bent and lean in the direction of the turn in coordination with the angle
of the LeanSteer Frame. Keep your body aligned with the LeanSteer Frame
while turning. Because abrupt turns may have unintended consequences,
always lean into turns slowly and smoothly.
