What's the hazard

This can happen if the rider speeds up abruptly, encounters an obstacle or continues to ride, after receiving a low-battery alert.
What to do
Call Segway LLC for information on how to receive a free software upgrade. Segway LLC is directly contacting owners of these products. Riders are reminded that, even after the software upgrade, appropriate operating techniques, as described in Segway HT user materials, are essential to safety.
