Self-Balancing Electric Scooter (mini-segway)
- mstank 11y agoI live on the Venice Beach boardwalk and have been increasingly seeing people zip around on these scooters. They seem to have fixed what was originally wrong with the Segway -- when presented with an obstacle, the Segway was too bulky to lift or maneuver around. They're also relatively inexpensive at about $300-$500 a pop. Does HN think this is the transportation revolution the Segway tried to usher in?
- stephengillie 11y agoA Seattle group is selling a unicycle with the same idea. I'm not affiliated, I just see these around the city. http://solowheelseattle.com/ http://solowheelseattle.com/
- mstank 11y agoI'm completely unaffiliated as well. Just thought it was interesting because this mini-segway has been adopted by hip hop and urban culture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8STWRdtziY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8STWRdtziY https://twitter.com/Colts/status/627455094209048576 https://twitter.com/Colts/status/627455094209048576
