Your First Ride

The YOUR FIRST RIDE Module contains the following lessons:

  • Get to Know the Keys
    There are three keys. Each has a different forward and turning speed. We’ll show you which Key to use first.
  • Power On
    You need to power on the Segway HT before you step onto the Platform. We’ll show you how.
  • Enter Balance Mode
    There are two modes. Balance Mode is for riding. This lesson explains how to enter Balance Mode.
  • Step On
    Stepping on can be trickier than you think. Make sure you have a friend here to help you with this lesson!
  • Move Forward and Back
    Wow! How does it know how to move? You’ll get the hang of it very quickly, but don’t get overconfident.
  • Turn
    Oh...so that’s how it turns. You’ll be turning on a dime at the end of this lesson.
  • Step Off
    Make sure your friend is there to hold the Handlebar the first time you step off. We’ll show the correct technique for stepping off.
  • Use Power Assist Mode
    Power Assist Mode is a non-riding mode that allows you to use the Segway HT’s power to move over slippery surfaces; obstacles; up and down steps; up, down, or across steep slopes.
  • Power Off
    When you finish riding, power off your Segway HT and take the Keys with you!
  • Test Your Knowledge
    Answering these questions correctly will help you feel confident that you understand the information, and alert you to what you need to review.
At the end of this module, you will be able power on your Segway HT, ride it slowly on flat ground, power off your Segway HT, and use the Power Assist Mode to move around without riding.
