NOTE:
* See “Weight Limits for Riders and Cargo” on page 8 for more
information on weight limits.
** See “Maximizing Range” on page 11 for information on
maximizing the distance you can travel on your Segway PT, and
factors that can increase or reduce your range.
English
7
Operating Limits
It is important that you familiarize yourself with the operating limits of
the Segway PT. These limits are set to maximize rider safety while
reducing the risk of damage to the Segway PT. The Segway PT will
perform better when you observe these limits.
Weight Limits for Riders and Cargo
Segway sets weight limits for two reasons:
z Rider safety.
z To reduce the risk of damage to the Segway PT.
Dynamic Weight Limits
To keep the Segway PT and rider upright, the Segway PT must
always have enough power to be able to turn its Wheels forward and
backward.
WARNING!
Exceeding the weight limits, especially when combined with
other variables that require more power, will increase your risk
of falling or damaging the Segway PT.
Variables that require more power include:
z Higher payloads (weight of rider and all cargo).
z Steeper slopes.
z Bumpier surface conditions.
z Higher speeds.
z Abrupt maneuvers.
8
The Segway PT monitors the amount of power being used and will
activate safety alerts when it senses excessive power demands. It is
important that you learn to anticipate and recognize when the
Segway PT is reaching the limits of performance.
Learn to recognize and respond to Safety Alerts; review
“Speed Limiter” on page 48, “Stick Shake Warning” on
page 51, and “Safety Shutdown” on page 55.
Minimum Weight Limit
The rider’s weight must not be less than 100 lbs. (45 kg). If the rider is
below the minimum rider weight limit, he/she may not be able to ride
safely because he/she cannot shift his/her weight far enough back
(behind the centerline of the Wheels) to safely slow down and stop.
This is especially true when riding downhill. Also, riders below the
minimum weight limit might fail to properly interact with the
Segway PT’s balancing system.
Handlebar Cargo
The total weight of any Handlebar payload plus any other
attachments hanging from the Handlebar must not exceed 10 lbs
(4.5 kg).
English
WARNING!
Exceeding this Handlebar Cargo limit interferes with the
Segway PT’s balancing ability and could cause the Segway PT
to accelerate forward, risking injury and damage.
9
Structural Weight Limits
Exceeding the maximum weight limit increases the risk of damage to
the Segway PT. Heavier payloads place greater stress on the Segway
PT. Several factors affect the loads transmitted to the Segway PT:
z Skill level of the rider.
z Payload (weight of the rider and all cargo).
z Surface condition (obstacle height, etc.).
CAUTION
Exceeding the rider or cargo weight limits, especially when riding on
uneven terrain, could damage the Segway PT.
10
Maximizing Range
Maximum range distances are provided in Table 2 on page 5. The
range of your Segway PT is affected by many variables, including:
z Terrain: Riding on smooth, flat terrain improves range, and riding
on hilly terrain and unpaved surfaces reduces range.
z Speed and Riding Style: Riding at a consistent, moderate
speed will increase range while frequent starting, stopping,
acceleration, and deceleration reduces range.
z Tire Inflation Pressure: Riding with tire pressures below the
specified limit reduces range.
z Rider Weight and Cargo: Lighter riders with less cargo
experience better range than heavier riders with more cargo.
z Temperature: Storing, charging, and riding in temperatures
close to the median of the recommended temperature range
improves range. Riding in colder temperatures reduces range
significantly.
z Battery Condition: Properly charged and maintained Batteries
provide greater range. Old, cold, heavily used, or poorly
maintained Batteries provide less range.
English
z Wind: Riding with a tailwind increases range. Riding against a
headwind reduces range.

Chapter 2:
Getting to Know Your Segway PT
This chapter describes how the Segway PT works. It includes:
z A description of the InfoKey Controller and its buttons and icons.
z Information about Segway PT components.
How the Segway PT Works
The Segway PT works like the human body. When walking, if you
lean forward, you take a step forward to keep your balance. If you
lean back, you step back. On a Segway PT when you lean forward or
back the machine powers the Wheels in the direction that you lean.
The Segway PT uses technology called dynamic stabilization to
maintain its balance and move forward or backward.
English
13
When you lean, your center of gravity moves beyond the contact
patch (the place where the tire contacts the ground) causing the
Segway PT to tilt. The Segway PT’s systems sense this change,
powering the Wheels to keep them underneath you. See Figure 3.
Figure 3. How the Seqway PT Works - Leaning Forward and Back
When you pivot the LeanSteer Frame left, the Segway PT turns left.
When you pivot the LeanSteer Frame right, the Segway PT turns
right. To turn the Segway PT, point the LeanSteer Frame in the
direction you want to go, keeping the Handlebar in line with your
body. When the LeanSteer Frame is centered, the Segway PT travels
straight ahead. See Figure 4.
14
Figure 4. How Segway PT Works - Turning
The Segway PT’s dynamic stabilization technology balances forward
and backward but not side-to-side. If you tip the Segway PT onto one
Wheel, it will not dynamically bring itself underneath you and it could
fall over. You are responsible for maintaining side-to-side stability
while riding the Segway PT. To do this, keep your body aligned with
the LeanSteer Frame. Lean into turns and lean uphill when riding
across a slope to maintain side-to-side balance.
English
English
NOTE:
When riding across a slope with one Wheel higher than the other,
keep the LeanSteer Frame vertical to keep from turning.
15
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.
16
WARNING!
All Segway PT parts must be approved by Segway, and
properly installed. Never attempt to stand on a Segway PT
without the LeanSteer Frame attached and secured. Using
your Segway PT without all parts properly installed could
damage your Segway PT and result in serious injury from loss
of control, collisions, and falls.
WARNING!
Do not modify the Segway PT. Modifications to the Segway PT
without the prior written approval of Segway could interfere
with the operation of the Segway PT, could result in serious
injury and/or damage, and could void the Segway PT Limited
Warranty.
