Using the launch of the new 2 wheel self balancing electric scooter, 2015 continues to be an exilerating year for gadget fans. All over the world, people are taking to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to create pics and vids of themselves zipping around on this 2 wheel contraption which basically appears like a board with a wheel on each side.
A mixture of a skateboard plus a segway, this mini Segway (without the handle) type thing is bolstering in popularity, fuelled partly by the level of celebrities that were seen on one. From Attacking young boys to Soulja Boy, Kendall Jenner to Jamie Foxx, have the ability to tried their hand only at that nifty little gadget, and appear to own had a lot of fun this.
Nicknamed the ‘swegway’ (as a result of it’s likeness for the Segway, however a ‘cooler’ version) we’re not sure entirely where this specific self balancing wheel descends from or who invented the first. Most likely it descends from some factory in China. The 1st glimpses we were treated to of computer on television were a product or service referred to as IO Hawk, a scooter that costs an astonishing $1800. This was back January of 2015. Subsequently many cheaper versions the exact same product attended in the marketplace as well as the average price at this time is apparently around $500.
What makes it work? Basically you get up on the two 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 self balancing wheel is turning out to be so well received it really is being touted as the personal mobility device for the future. Who wants to walk when you are able glide, right? Plus it’s a lot faster than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.
