Maximizing Range
Only experienced riders riding in optimum conditions will reach the maximum range distances stated on page 7. The range of your Segway HT is affected by many variables,
including:
> Terrain: Riding on smooth, flat terrain improves
range; riding on hilly terrain and unpaved surfaces
reduces range. For example, the Segway GT’s
estimated range on a golf course is 8 to 10 miles (13
to 16 km); on pavement, the estimated range is 16
to 24 miles (26 to 39 km).
> Speed and Riding Style: Consistent, moderate
speed increases range; frequent starting, stopping,
acceleration, and deceleration decreases range.
> Tire Inflation Pressure: Riding with tire pressure
below the specified limit reduces range.
> Rider Weight and Cargo: Lighter riders with less
cargo get better range than heavier riders with
more cargo.
> Temperature: Storing, charging and riding nearest
the center of the recommended temperature range
improves range. Riding in colder temperatures
reduces range significantly.
> Battery Pack Condition: Properly charged and
maintained Battery Packs provide greater range;
old, cold, heavily used, or poorly maintained Battery
Packs provide less range.
> Wind: Tailwind increases range; headwind reduces
range.
