Safety Alerts
The Segway PT is equipped with multiple safety
alerts. It is important to understand these alerts before
you attempt to ride your Segway PT.
Speed Limiter
Explain that the Rider MUST
recognize and respond to the
Speed Limiter.
When you approach the maximum allowed speed for
a given situation, the Segway PT will push the
Handlebar back to slow you down. This is called the
Speed Limiter.
<<recognize>>
Demonstrate by standing behind
the Platform with the machine in
Standby mode.
As you explain that the Speed
Limiter pushes the Handlebar
back, you should tilt the Handlebar
back toward your torso.
The Segway PT’s Speed Limiter is an alert that you
are moving too fast. When the Segway PT pushes the
Handlebar back, stop leaning forward and slow down.
Always leave a gap between yourself and the
Handlebar.
<<respond>>
As you explain that the Rider
should slow down, slowly and
deliberately move the Handlebar
to normal riding position, and point
out the “gap” between the
Handlebar and your torso.
The speed at which the Handlebar pushes back
depends on a variety of factors including:
 Riding style
 Terrain
 Payload
 Whether or not Beginner Setting is selected on
the InfoKey Controller
 Battery condition
 Foot positioning
…and other factors. For additional information and
conditions that may cause the Speed Limiter to
activate, see “Speed Limiter” in the User Manual.
