Using the release of the new 2 wheel self balancing electric scooter, 2015 continues to be an exciting year for gadget fans. All over the world, individuals are taking to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to create photos and videos of themselves zipping around with this 2 wheel contraption which basically seems like a board using a wheel on each side.
A mixture of a skateboard along with a segway, this mini Segway (without the handle) type thing is blowing up in popularity, fuelled partly with the volume of celebrities which have been seen one. From Bieber assault to Soulja Boy, Kendall Jenner to Jamie Foxx, have the ability to tried their hand as of this nifty little gadget, and seem to possess a large amount of fun the process.
Nicknamed the ‘swegway’ (as a result of it’s likeness on the Segway, but a ‘cooler’ version) we’re not sure entirely where this type of 2 wheel self balancing scooter descends from or who invented the first. Almost certainly it descends from some factory in China. The 1st glimpses we were treated to of it on tv were something known as the IO Hawk, a scooter that will set you back an astonishing $1800. This became back in January of 2015. Since then many cheaper versions of the identical product have fallen available on the market along with the average price at the moment is apparently around $500.
How can it work? Basically you stand on the two panels and shift one’s body weight slightly forward or slightly back and yes it senses this bodyweight change and moves backwards or forwards. This may also turn right of left. This 2 wheel self balancing scooter is becoming so well received it really is being touted since the personal mobility device of the future. Who wishes to walk when you are able glide, right? Plus it’s a lot faster than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.
