Together with the launch of the newest 2 wheel self balancing electric scooter, 2015 may be a fantastic year for gadget fans. Around the globe, folks are taking to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to publish pics and vids of themselves zipping around about this 2 wheel contraption which basically appears to be a board which has a wheel on either side.
A mixture of a skateboard and a segway, this mini Segway (with no handle) type thing is growing in popularity, fuelled simply with the volume of celebrities which were seen one. From Bieber assault to Soulja Boy, Kendall Jenner to Jamie Foxx, have the ability to tried their hand only at that nifty little gadget, and appear to have were built with a great deal of fun doing so.
Nicknamed the ‘swegway’ (as a consequence of it’s likeness for the Segway, but a ‘cooler’ version) we aren’t sure entirely where this type of two wheel scooter comes from or who invented the first. Most likely it comes from some factory in China. The 1st glimpses we got of computer in media were a product or service known as the IO Hawk, a scooter that will cost you a whopping $1800. It was back January of 2015. Since that time many cheaper versions of the product came on the market and also the average price at this time seems to be around $500.
How can it work? Basically you stand on both the panels and shift your system weight slightly forward or slightly back and yes it senses this bodyweight change and moves backwards or forwards. It can also turn left or right. This two wheel scooter is proving to be so popular is in reality being touted since the personal mobility device of the future. Who would like to walk when you’re able to glide, right? Plus it’s really a lot quicker than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.
