Operating Limits - Segway i2 SE User Manual

Operating Limits

It is important that you familiarize yourself with the operating limits of the Segway PT. These limits are set to maximize rider safety while reduc-
ing the risk of damage to the Segway PT. The Segway PT will perform better when you observe these limits.
Weight Limits for Riders and Cargo
Segway sets weight limits for two reasons:
• Rider safety
• To reduce the risk of damage to the Segway PT
Dynamic Weight Limits
To keep the Segway PT and rider upright, the Segway PT must always have enough power to be able to drive its wheels forward and backward.
WARNING
Exceeding the weight limits, especially when combined with other variables that require more power, will increase your risk of falling or damag-
ing the Segway PT.
Variables that require more power include:
• Higher payloads (weight of rider and all cargo)
• Steeper slopes
• Bumpier surface conditions
• Higher speeds
• Abrupt maneuvers
The Segway PT monitors the amount of power being used and will activate safety alerts when it senses excessive power demands. It is important
that you learn to anticipate and recognize when the Segway PT is reaching the limits of performance.
