Segway PT Components and
Subsystems
The Segway PT includes the following components and subsystems
(see Figure 5):
z InfoKey™ Controller
z InfoKey Controller Dock
z Handlebar
z LeanSteer Frame
z Tire/Wheel Assembly and Fenders
z Console with Charge and Balance Indicator Lights
z Console Trim
z Mats
z Powerbase
z Batteries
The Segway PT has been designed with concern for the safety of the
rider and those who may be nearby. Redundant subsystems maintain
controlled operation of the Segway PT in the unlikely event of a
component failure. If one component in a subsystem fails, the other
component continues to operate, allowing you to come to a complete
and safe stop before stepping off. The Segway PT has five redundant
subsystems: Controller Boards, Motors, Batteries, the Balance
Sensor Assembly, and LeanSteer Sensors.
