Step 7: Stopping

Stop the Segway PT by shifting your weight away
from the direction you are moving.
To stop the Segway PT:
When you are moving forward, gently stretch away
from the handlebar and shift your hips backwards (as
if you are preparing to sit down) to bring the
Segway PT to a stop.
Once stopped, center your weight over the
Powerbase to remain stationary. If you continue to
lean back, you will move backward.
Practice choosing a spot on the ground, and coming
to a smooth controlled stop at that spot. Then remain
stationary.

Step 8: Turning the Segway PT

The Segway PT turns in the direction that you lean
the Handlebar. You turn the Segway PT by leaning
the Handlebar left or right.
Turning In Place
First, practice turning in place. To turn in place, slowly
pivot the Handlebar to the side in the direction that
you want to turn. The Segway PT will rotate so that
you turn in place. Practice turning to the right and to
the left using this technique.
Turning While Moving
After you are comfortable going forward, d backward
and turning in place, try slowly riding forward and
turning at the same time. Keep your knees slightly
bent and lean in the direction of the turn in
coordination with the angle of the LeanSteer Frame.
Keep your body aligned with the LeanSteer Frame
while turning.
Because abrupt turns can be dangerous, always lean
into turns slowly and smoothly.
