The <strong>Segway</strong> PT monitors the amount of power being used and will<br />

activate safety alerts when it senses excessive power demands. It is<br />

important that you learn to anticipate and recognize when the<br />

<strong>Segway</strong> PT is reaching the limits of performance.<br />

Learn to recognize and respond to Safety Alerts; review<br />

“Speed Limiter” on page 48, “Stick Shake Warning” on<br />

page 51, and “Safety Shutdown” on page 55.<br />

Minimum Weight Limit<br />

The rider’s weight must not be less than 100 lbs. (45 kg). If the rider is<br />

below the minimum rider weight limit, he/she may not be able to ride<br />

safely because he/she cannot shift his/her weight far enough back<br />

(behind the centerline of the Wheels) to safely slow down and stop.<br />

This is especially true when riding downhill. Also, riders below the<br />

minimum weight limit might fail to properly interact with the<br />

<strong>Segway</strong> PT’s balancing system.<br />

Handlebar Cargo<br />

The total weight of any Handlebar payload plus any other<br />

attachments hanging from the Handlebar must not exceed 10 lbs<br />

(4.5 kg).<br />

WARNING!<br />

Exceeding this Handlebar Cargo limit interferes with the<br />

<strong>Segway</strong> PT’s balancing ability and could cause the <strong>Segway</strong> PT<br />

to accelerate forward, risking injury and damage.<br />
