I carry a cane on my Segway. Originally, I had a six inch section of PVC pipe attached via Velcro to the lower section of the control shaft. The PVC pipe was about 2" in diameter. I would just drop the cane through it and it would stay in place just fine. It worked kind of like a little umbrella stand.
I also have the 12.0 handlebar bag. At some point I just started stick my cane through a loop on the back of the back and sticking the tip into a corner of the foot tray. This new technique seems to work pretty well, though the PVC pipe was much a more stable way to secure the cane. Devin |

Cane placement
What ever method you use, I would highly suggest not letting the cane have any chance on dropping down in front of the moving Segway and catapulting you over the front.
I would make sure that the bottom of the cane holder has a good 2-3 inch deep secured bottom for it to drop into so that when you hot a bump it will not slip over the front edge and cause some damage. Hope all goes well with your new means of getting around.

I have a clip on the HT for the cane.
But I have found it's better, for me anyway, to keep it in my right hand and use it as a weapon if need be !
