1. A personal mobility comprising:
an alarm device;
a detection circuit including a first test voltage source, a second test voltage source, a first switch, a second switch, and a ground;
a first sensor configured to detect outputs of the first test voltage source and the second test voltage source;
a second sensor configured to obtain weight information of a user; and
a controller configured to:
in response to a startup of the personal mobility, measure a first voltage applied to the first switch provided between the first test voltage source and the ground through the first sensor and a second voltage applied to the second switch provided between the second test voltage source and the ground,
assign the user to one of a plurality of predetermined groups according to the obtained weight information of the user, and
when the controller determines that at least one of the first voltage or the second voltage is greater than or equal to a reference value by comparing the first voltage and the second voltage with the reference value previously allocated to a group to which the user is assigned among the plurality of predetermined groups, control the alarm device electrically or wirelessly connected to the controller, to provide a warning alarm to the user.
