What One Should Know About A Two Wheel Scooter

By Betty Phillips


Today, innovations and technological advancements are leading the way into the achievement of products that were only imaginable a few years ago. A good example of such a product is a two wheel scooter, also called a self-balancing two-wheeled board or scooter. It is a portable vehicle powered by a rechargeable battery, although some models are currently powered by electricity.

The vehicle consists of two wheels that are arranged side-by-side as opposed to one coming after the other lie in the case of a bike. The two wheels are joined together by a platform over which the rider stands. Balancing is achieved through an internal balancing mechanism, which is usually covered from view by the platform on which the rider stands. The accuracy and reaction time of various balancing mechanisms vary among various models.

The standing platform also covers and protects the controls, which are located on the interior side. The standing platform contains built-in hygroscopic, sensored platform, which allows the rider to control the device with their feet. The device originally came from China but was made popular by the adoption by American celebrities. No universal name is used to refer to it. The name of the distributor is used instead of that of the manufacturing company in China.

The Chinese industry is growing so fast that it is hard to identify the specific company that invented and first produced the gadget. However, Shane Chen and Chic Robotics are among the inventors that have made claims of ownership. For instance, Chen, a Chinese businessman claimed to be the inventor and that companies stole the idea. Patent battles have been ongoing over ownership of this invention.

Popularity of this gadget is mostly attributed to American celebrities such as Soulja Boy, Wiz Khalifa, Chris Brown, Jamie Foxx, and Kendall Jenner. These celebrities have appeared in video recordings riding the vehicle or falling off it in a funny manner. There are many brands of this vehicle and they all vary in various specifications. Some of the most popular brands include Esway, Airboard, ACyboard, Monoboard, Monorover, Swagway, and Roadrunner among many others.

Aspects such as weight, speed of travel, and range among others vary in various models. Popular models mostly travel at speeds between 10-20 km/h. Internal engineering is responsible for determining speed. Hence it is a factor specified by the manufacturer and cannot be altered by the user.

The weight also varies diversely and does not usually determine the speed. Most brands produced so far weigh above 100 kilograms, but stay below 150 kilograms. With more research and ever growing sophistication in technology, the vehicles are likely to move with higher speeds and weight much less. The range has stayed below 25 kilometers and above 10 kilometers in most popular brands.

The vehicles can be bought from local stores as well as online stores such as Alibaba, Amazon, and eBay. Prices quoted usually include shipping costs to the destination. Most distributors sell various models, allowing buyers a wide choice.
