Michael, at first I didn't agree with what you said about 1 foot riding, because I always thought my Segways (I've owned 5), all worked the same whether I was depressing 1, 2, 3, or all 4 Ride Detect Sensors. However, I just downloaded the i2SE manual. It agrees with you that if less than 3 sensors (thus meaning one foot) are depressed, the Speed Limiter is reduced. It doesn't mention turning rate, but the reduction you mentioned would make sense. Also, it says that if 2 of the 4 sensors are not detected, it displays two footprints on the Info Key, which means Rider Detect Error. And it says that in Turtle Mode, if less than 2 sensors are depressed (presumably meaning one sensor), it reduces the turning rate to 15%, which allows beginners to mount while yanking on the LeanSteer bar, which we all know beginners love to do until they fall off. Normal LeanSteer sensitivity in Turtle Mode is 55%.
