With all the relieve the new 2 wheel self balancing electric scooter, 2015 may be an exilerating year for gadget fans. All over the world, everyone is taking to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to create photos and videos of themselves zipping around with this 2 wheel contraption which basically looks like a board with a wheel on each side.

A mixture of a skateboard as well as a segway, this mini Segway (devoid of the handle) type thing is growing in popularity, fuelled partly with the amount of celebrities which were seen on a single. From Bieber assault to Soulja Boy, Kendall Jenner to Jamie Foxx, have the ability to tried their hand at this nifty little gadget, and seem to get a great deal of fun the process.

Nicknamed the ‘swegway’ (as a consequence of it’s likeness on the Segway, however a ‘cooler’ version) we aren’t sure entirely where this type of hoverboard scooter descends from or who invented the 1st. Almost certainly it descends from some factory in China. The initial glimpses we were treated to than it in media were a product or service referred to as IO Hawk, a scooter that sells for a stunning $1800. This is last January of 2015. Since that time many cheaper versions of the product have fallen available on the market along with the average price right now is apparently around $500.

What makes it work? Basically you climb onto both the panels and shift the body weight slightly forward or slightly back and it senses this bodyweight change and moves backwards or forwards. Additionally, it may turn right of left. This hoverboard scooter is proving to be quite popular that it is being touted since the personal mobility device for the future. Who wishes to walk when it’s possible to glide, right? Plus it’s really a lot faster than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.
