Practice Riding
You will need to become very familiar with your Segway PT before
you attempt to ride outside of your controlled practice environment.
The more you practice, the safer you will be when you move into new
places. Remember the following as you practice:
z Use the Beginner Setting and ride in areas free of obstacles and
distractions until you are comfortable on your Segway PT.
Practice at the Beginner level until you can step on, ride forward
and backward, turn, stop, and step off with the same precision
and confidence as you walk.
z With practice, you should be able to ride in narrow areas. You
should also be able to ride, turn, and stop on a narrow, curving,
paved walkway.
