Together with the relieve the new 2 wheel self balancing electric scooter, 2015 may be an exciting year for gadget fans. Worldwide, folks are taking to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to write pics and vids of themselves zipping around with this 2 wheel contraption which basically seems like a board which has a wheel on each side.

A mix of a skateboard as well as a segway, this mini Segway (minus the handle) type thing is blowing up in popularity, fuelled to some extent with the level of celebrities which were seen on a single. From Usher to Soulja Boy, Kendall Jenner to Jamie Foxx, all have tried their hand as of this nifty little gadget, and seem to own a lots of fun doing this.

Nicknamed the ‘swegway’ (as a result of it’s likeness towards the Segway, but a ‘cooler’ version) nobody is sure entirely where this particular 2 wheel scooter originated from or who invented the 1st. Probably it originated from some factory in China. The initial glimpses we had from it on tv were a product called the IO Hawk, a scooter that will set you back a stunning $1800. This is last January of 2015. Since that time many cheaper versions the exact same product attended in the marketplace and the average price at this time appears to be around $500.

So how exactly does it work? Basically you get up on the 2 panels and shift your system weight slightly forward or slightly back plus it senses this bodyweight change and moves backwards or forwards. It can also turn left or right. This 2 wheel scooter is turning out to be very popular it really is being touted since the personal mobility device of the future. Who wishes to walk when it’s possible to glide, right? Plus it’s a lot faster than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.
