Overview of Product Design and Safety Features
The Segway HT has been designed with the utmost concern for the safety of the operator and those
who may be nearby. Backup systems have been designed to maintain controlled operation of the
system in the unlikely event of a component malfunction.
Redundant Systems
> Controller Boards
Controller boards are interchangeable front and rear. They are connected to the Control Shaft
cords, the Balance Sensor Assembly, the Battery Packs and the motors in such a way that if
there is a malfunction in any of these components, or the connections between them, the Segway
HT will perform a Safety Shutdown (see description below)
