i180 on straight road go a little left

curious1 · 09-25-2014, 12:51 PM

Hi,
Does any one have any idea if this is usually because of:
1. Wheels
2. Gear box

what is the common problem for this one?
Thanks
R

This would be a natural result if the tires are not the same diameter (i.e., different age/wear or pressure).

Hi,
The gear box doesn't get any shift while turning around ?
if the Segway hit anything?
what about elastomer, if it is old what is the phenomena?
Thanks,
R

OK, if it's not the tires or wheels, it must be either the gear box, elastomers, or the control logic.

Hi,
Is there any place that I can order elastomers and replace myself ?
Thanks

Any Segway dealer would be able to sell them to you.

Also, there are at least two dealers on eBay that offer them.

I don't see how worn elastomeric couplings would cause drift to one side...

If it drifts right, you should wear a 5 pound weight on your left ankle.

I don't see that either. But when I told him it had something to do with tires, he asked where to get elastomers.
