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 />
