Using the relieve the brand new 2 wheel self balancing electric scooter, 2015 has been an exilerating year for gadget fans. Around the globe, everyone is taking to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to publish photos and videos of themselves zipping around on this 2 wheel contraption which basically appears like a board using a wheel on both sides.
A mix of a skateboard as well as a segway, this mini Segway (without the handle) type thing is blowing up in popularity, fuelled simply from the amount of celebrities which were seen on one. From Bieber assault to Soulja Boy, Kendall Jenner to Jamie Foxx, all have tried their hand as of this nifty little gadget, and appear to get were built with a large amount of fun doing so.
Nicknamed the ‘swegway’ (because of it’s likeness on the Segway, but a ‘cooler’ version) we are really not sure entirely where this kind of 2 wheel self balancing scooter originated in or who invented the first. Almost certainly it originated in some factory in China. The 1st glimpses we had of it on tv were a product known as the IO Hawk, a scooter that will cost you an impressive $1800. This was back in January of 2015. Ever since then many cheaper versions of the identical product have come on the market as well as the average price at this time looks like it’s around $500.
How can it work? Basically you stand on both the panels and shift the body weight slightly forward or slightly back and yes it senses this bodyweight change and moves backwards or forwards. This may also turn left or right. This 2 wheel self balancing scooter is becoming so popular that it is being touted as the personal mobility device for the future. Who would like to walk when it’s possible to glide, right? Plus it is a lot faster than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.
