How to ride the SEGWAY

How do you ride a Segway?
 

                     
Forward stop operation
Relax and unwind your shoulders!

To go forward and stop, put your weight forth and back. It is the best method to want to go forward. Segway senses the movement of your center of gravity and runs forward.
To stop, return the center of gravity that was tilted forward to the center. Bring the center of gravity to the back more and it will become a brake in a short distance. Since the motor is controlling, smooth acceleration and deceleration are performed safely.
Segway products feature that has the control system in which the balance sensor can detect the tilt of delicate center of gravity of the passenger 100 times per second and control the balance accurately. So it makes the safe operation possible without feeling discomfort.

Working with rotation
Point to see the direction you go!

When making a turn, rotate the bar (lean steer) with a handlebar that extends vertically by tilting it to the left or right. Although it does not detect the movement of the center of gravity during the rotating operation, it will rotate smoothly by tilting the center of gravity in the direction to go. By looking at the direction you are going at this time, you will be able to turn more naturally.
