Using the launch of the modern 2 wheel self balancing electric scooter, 2015 has been an exilerating year for gadget fans. Across the world, individuals are taking to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to create pics and vids of themselves zipping around for this 2 wheel contraption which basically looks like a board with a wheel on each side.

A mix of a skateboard and a segway, this mini Segway (minus the handle) type thing is blowing up in popularity, fuelled in part through the amount of celebrities which were seen on one. From Attacking young boys to Soulja Boy, Kendall Jenner to Jamie Foxx, all have tried their hand only at that nifty little gadget, and seem to have stood a large amount of fun this.

Nicknamed the ‘swegway’ (because of it’s likeness on the Segway, however a ‘cooler’ version) we aren’t sure entirely where this specific 2 wheel scooter descends from or who invented the 1st. More than likely it descends from some factory in China. The very first glimpses we were treated to than it on television were an item known as the IO Hawk, a scooter that will cost you a whopping $1800. This became last January of 2015. Since then many cheaper versions of the identical product came on the market along with the average price right now is apparently around $500.

What makes it work? Basically you get up on the 2 panels and shift the body weight slightly forward or slightly back and it senses this bodyweight change and moves backwards or forwards. It may also turn right or left. This 2 wheel scooter is turning out to be quite popular is in reality being touted since the personal mobility device into the future. Who wishes to walk when you’re able to glide, right? Plus it is a lot quicker than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.
