Together with the relieve the brand new 2 wheel self balancing electric scooter, 2015 has become a fantastic year for gadget fans. Worldwide, everyone is taking to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to post pics and vids of themselves zipping around with this 2 wheel contraption which basically looks like a board having a wheel on either sides.
A mix of a skateboard along with a segway, this mini Segway (minus the handle) type thing is growing in popularity, fuelled partly by the level of celebrities which were seen one. From Attacking young boys to Soulja Boy, Kendall Jenner to Jamie Foxx, have the ability to tried their hand as of this nifty little gadget, and appear to own had a lots of fun doing so.
Nicknamed the ‘swegway’ (due to it’s likeness for the Segway, but a ‘cooler’ version) we aren’t sure entirely where this kind of two wheel self balancing scooter descends from or who invented the 1st. Almost certainly it descends from some factory in China. The 1st glimpses we had of it in the media were something referred to as IO Hawk, a scooter that sells for an astonishing $1800. This is back in January of 2015. Subsequently many cheaper versions of the identical product have come in the marketplace and also the average price currently seems to be around $500.
So how exactly does it work? Basically you climb onto both the panels and shift your body weight slightly forward or slightly back and yes it senses this bodyweight change and moves backwards or forwards. Additionally, it may turn right or left. This two wheel self balancing scooter is turning out to be quite popular it’s actually being touted as the personal mobility device of the future. Who wants to walk when it’s possible to glide, right? Plus it is a lot faster than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.
