Today, on the streets of cities you can often see new modes of transport: monowheels, gyro scooters, electric scooters. Such vehicles look modern in appearance, and are not deprived of good qualities. Since bicycles have ceased to be leaders in environmental friendliness, compactness, quiet movement and ease of use. Especially against the background of the voiced devices, mini segways stand out.
In general, the word Segway is the name of a brand that has settled in the environment of gyro scooters, like copier in the environment of copy machines. Segway itself is a platform on two wheels, equipped with a steering rack. Mini Segway is much smaller than its predecessor and does not have a steering rack. Thus, we can say that the mini Segway is a gyro scooter.
Since the mini Segway does not have the usual steering wheel, control of the device will seem to many to be inconvenient and difficult for many. To control using your own body and gyroscopic sensors located inside the device. To move or turn, you need to transfer the weight of your body to the sides. So you need to lean forward to start the ride, lean back to brake and move your legs to make a turn. Some models have a built-in training mode, which improves the balance of the device and reduces the maximum possible speed. Also, sometimes a special pen or pole comes in the kit, which prevents a person from falling from a mini Segway.
- The average speed of mini Segways is 15-20 km / h, but usually the owners do not exceed speeds of 5-10 km / h.
- A full battery charge is enough for 20 km.
- Full charge takes place within 2-3 hours.
This value may vary due to road surface and driving style. Mini Segways have not as powerful engines as regular Segways, but these capacities are enough to climb slopes with steepness of about 15-20 °. Almost anyone can ride the board.
Devices are usually designed for loads of 20 to 120 kg. There are also applications for smartphones with which the user can control the transport. Also included with the mini Segway are the keys, which are an anti-theft system. With their help, the owner of the device will be able to block its use if something happens.
The device is extremely convenient in an urban environment, as it has a low weight of about 10 kg, and thanks to the small dimensions of mini-segway can be transported by hand or in other vehicles. Mini Segway is used for leisurely walks and movement around the city. It is especially convenient for the latter, since traffic jams are not afraid of him, and he has a much higher speed than pedestrians.
