What is Speed Limiter?

The Segway HT will push its Handlebar back to slow the rider down. The speed at which the Segway HT pushes the Handlebar back depends on a variety of factors:

• Which Key you used to power on.
• Riding up a steep hill.
• Riding on bumpy terrain.
• Low Battery Pack charge.
• Riding down a hill with fully charged Battery Packs. (Because of regenerative charging, if the Battery Packs are fully charged, the Segway HT will engage the Speed Limiter to avoid overcharging.)
• The first few seconds after power on.
• Inadequate foot pressure on the Platform.
• The Battery Packs are too hot or too cold.

When you reach the maximum allowed speed, based on these factors, the Segway HT will push the Handlebar back to slow you down. The display will remain green, indicating that you are still in Balance Mode, but the mouth will be straight, instead of smiling.

How should I respond to Speed Limiter?

If the Segway HT pushes the Handlebar back, stop leaning forward and slow down!

Do not attempt to override this safety feature by continuing to lean forward.

You should always leave a gap between yourself and the Handlebar.

Riding against the Handlebar can cause loss of control, collisions, falls and injury.
