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:
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.
Ask if Rider knows how to tell if
Segway PT has Beginner Setting
enabled.
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.
Until you can ride with this precision, do not attempt to
ride in any area where you might encounter children,
pedestrians, pets, vehicles, bicycles, or other
obstacles and potential hazards.
Your first rides without the Beginner Setting should be
in the same secure areas where you learned to ride
with the Beginner Setting.
Use caution when riding in new environments.
Be careful when riding through a doorway.
Make sure you leave enough Wheel clearance.
Watch out for terrain transitions such as pavement
and grass.
Navigating Terrain
With practice, you can learn to ride over many
different types of terrain, provided you avoid slippery
surfaces, loose materials, steep slopes, and
obstacles. Always proceed slowly over unfamiliar
terrain.
Never allow the Segway PT to become airborne, even
for short periods of time, because the Segway PT has
no traction when airborne, and you could lose control
upon landing.
