Reference Manual - Segway

Speed Limiter
When you approach the maximum allowed speed, the Segway PT’s
Speed Limiter will push the Handlebar back to slow you down. (see
Figure 16).
Figure 16. Speed Limiter
The Segway PT’s Speed Limiter is an alert that you are moving too
fast! When the Speed Limiter pushes the Handlebar back, stop
leaning forward and slow down. Always leave a gap between
yourself and the Handlebar as shown in Figure 17. Once you slow to
a speed that the Segway PT determines is safe, it will resume normal
operation and riding position.
