Using the launch of the new 2 wheel self balancing electric scooter, 2015 may be an exciting year for gadget fans. Worldwide, everyone is taking to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to post photos and videos of themselves zipping around about this 2 wheel contraption which basically seems like a board having a wheel on both sides.
A mixture of a skateboard plus a segway, this mini Segway (minus the handle) type thing is growing in popularity, fuelled to some extent by the volume 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 at this nifty little gadget, and appear to get stood a lot of fun doing so.
Nicknamed the ‘swegway’ (as a consequence of it’s likeness on the Segway, however a ‘cooler’ version) we’re not sure entirely where this specific 2 wheel self balancing scooter descends from or who invented the initial. Almost certainly it descends from some factory in China. The very first glimpses we saw than it in the media were a product or service referred to as IO Hawk, a scooter that sells for an impressive $1800. This became back in January of 2015. Ever since then many cheaper versions the exact same product attended on the market along with the average price at this time looks like it’s around $500.
What makes it work? Basically you ascend to both the panels and shift your body weight slightly forward or slightly back also it senses this bodyweight change and moves backwards or forwards. It may also turn left or right. This 2 wheel self balancing scooter is turning out to be so well received it’s actually being touted as the personal mobility device for the future. Who wants to walk when you can glide, right? Plus it is a lot faster than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.
