Rider Off
You do not have to be riding the Segway PT for the Stick Shake
Warning to occur. The Stick Shake Warning occurs if the Segway PT
is moved too quickly while in Riderless Balance Mode. Riderless
Balance Mode is when the Segway PT is in Balance mode without a
rider standing on the Powerbase. The Stick Shake Warning also
occurs if the Wheels spin as you pull the Segway PT over a curb or
up stairs.
Table 7 lists possible causes of the Stick Shake Warning and
recommended actions to take when the Stick Shake Warning occurs
with no Rider on the Mats.
