Understanding The Rider Detect Sensors - Segway PT x2 Reference Manual

Understanding the Rider Detect Sensors

The Segway PT has four sensors located beneath the Mats. Rider
Detect Sensors detect the presence or absence of a rider while the
Segway PT is powered on.
Rider Detect
Sensors
When your feet are properly positioned on the Mats, all four Rider
Detect sensors depress, allowing the Segway PT to operate normally
in Balance Mode.
If fewer than three Rider Detect sensors are depressed while riding,
the Segway PT reduces the top speed limit regardless of whether
Beginner Setting is enabled or not. Once your feet are properly
positioned again, the Segway PT regains full performance.
If the Segway PT is moved too quickly while in Balance Mode and
none of the Rider Detect Sensors are depressed, the Segway PT will
give the Stick Shake Warning before exiting Balance Mode and
transitioning to Standby Mode.
