Nicknamed the ‘swegway’ (due to it’s likeness on the Segway, however a ‘cooler’ version) we are really not sure entirely where this particular smart electric scooter comes from or who invented the 1st. Almost certainly it comes from some factory in China. The 1st glimpses we got than it on television were something referred to as the IO Hawk, a scooter that costs an astonishing $1800. This became back in January of 2015. Since then many cheaper versions of the identical product have come in the marketplace and also the average price at the moment looks like it’s around $500.
How can it work? Basically you stand on the two panels and shift one’s body weight slightly forward or slightly back plus it senses this bodyweight change and moves backwards or forwards. Additionally, it may turn right of left. This smart electric scooter is becoming so popular it really is being touted as the personal mobility device for the future. Who wishes to walk when it’s possible to glide, right? Plus it is a lot quicker than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.
