The motors are controlled by a computer that uses the input from the gyroscopic sensors to maintain the Segway's balance. The computer also controls the speed and direction of the Segway. The gyroscopic sensors are located in the base of the Segway and they measure the angle of the Segway relative to the ground. This information is used by the computer to adjust the speed and direction of the motors so that the Segway remains balanced.
The Segway can be ridden in two modes: beginner mode and advanced mode. In beginner mode, the Segway is limited to a speed of 8 miles per hour and the gyroscopic sensors are more sensitive, which makes the Segway more stable. In advanced mode, the Segway can reach a speed of 12.5 miles per hour and the gyroscopic sensors are less sensitive, which allows for more maneuverability.
