Nicknamed the ‘swegway’ (because of it’s likeness on the Segway, but a ‘cooler’ version) we are really not sure entirely where this kind of 2 wheel self balancing scooter originated in or who invented the 1st. More than likely it originated in some factory in China. The very first glimpses we had of it on television were a product or service called the IO Hawk, a scooter that sells for an impressive $1800. This became last January of 2015. Subsequently many cheaper versions the exact same product have fallen on the market as well as the average price at this time appears to be around $500.

This may also turn left or right. This 2 wheel self balancing scooter is becoming very popular is in reality being touted as the personal mobility device into the future. Who wants to walk when you’re able to glide, right? Plus it is a lot faster than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.
