Using the launch of the newest 2 wheel self balancing electric scooter, 2015 has been an exilerating year for gadget fans. All over the world, folks are taking to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to write photos and videos of themselves zipping around with this 2 wheel contraption which basically seems like a board which has a wheel on both sides.
A mixture of a skateboard as well as a segway, this mini Segway (with no handle) type thing is blowing up in popularity, fuelled partly through the volume of celebrities which were seen on one. From Justin Bieber to Soulja Boy, Kendall Jenner to Jamie Foxx, all have tried their hand only at that nifty little gadget, and seem to get had a large amount of fun doing so.
Nicknamed the ‘swegway’ (as a consequence of it’s likeness to the Segway, but a ‘cooler’ version) nobody is sure entirely where this particular hoverboard scooter descends from or who invented the initial. Most likely it descends from some factory in China. The first glimpses we were treated to than it on television were a product referred to as IO Hawk, a scooter that sells for an impressive $1800. It was back January of 2015. Subsequently many cheaper versions of the identical product have fallen available on the market as well as the average price at this time appears to be around $500.
What makes it work? Basically you get up on both the panels and shift one’s body weight slightly forward or slightly back plus it senses this bodyweight change and moves backwards or forwards. It can also turn right or left. This hoverboard scooter is becoming very popular it really is being touted because the personal mobility device into the future. Who wants to walk when you are able glide, right? Plus it’s actually a lot faster than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.
