Hazard

The personal transporter can unexpectedly apply reverse torque to the wheels, which can cause a rider to fall. This can occur when the device is tilted back by the Speed Limiter and the rider comes off and then back onto the device within a short period of time.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the Segway PT immediately and contact the company to receive a free software upgrade.
