Safety Checklist
You’re taller than you think. Be aware of the added height that the Segway HT (and your helmet) gives you and use caution when riding indoors or in the vicinity of doorways, archways, branches, signs, or other low overhead obstacles.
I already knew this! Thanks, I hadn’t considered of this.
Watch those turns! Always turn slowly and with caution. Lean into turns. Fast turns can lead to loss of control and falls.
Don’t risk it. When you encounter a slope, uneven terrain, or other terrain feature with which you are not experienced or that makes you at all concerned about your safety, do not risk riding over it. Instead, step off and use Power Assist Mode.
No passengers. The Segway HT is for one rider. Do not ride double or carry any passengers. Do not carry a child in your arms or in a child carrier while riding.
No stunts. Do not attempt to perform any type of tricks, stunts, or racing on your Segway HT.
Not a medical device. The Segway HT has not been designed, tested or approved as a medical device. You must be able to step on and off the Segway HT unassisted, which requires physical abilities similar to ascending and descending stairs without assistance, and without holding the handrail. You must be able to operate the steering control with your left hand.
Never ride on stairs. Riding on stairs is extremely dangerous, as is riding on escalators and through revolving doors.
Don’t step off a moving Segway HT. Always come to a stop before stepping off.
