Together with the release of the modern 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 post pics and vids of themselves zipping around on this 2 wheel contraption which basically appears like a board which has a wheel on either side.

It can also turn right of left. This self balancing electric scooter is proving to be quite popular is in reality being touted because the personal mobility device into the future. Who wants to walk when you can glide, right? Plus it is a lot faster than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.
