The relevance of ecological and comfortable urban transport is increasing every year. Against the background of increasing volumes of production of traditional cars, alternative methods of transportation are becoming more popular. In this regard, electric scooters and all kinds of varieties of this design are considered the most promising direction in the development of the concept of personal transport. According to reviews, the gyro scooter may well become a means of transportation of the future due to ease of use and minimal maintenance costs. In addition, owners note such advantages of this technique as mobility and safety.
Types of hovercraft
The complexity of the design and production technology of self-balancing electric scooters has led to the narrowness of the segment in which such models are presented. Accordingly, there are few fundamental differences in the designs that are offered on the market. However, two clear classifications exist. First of all, the age sign should be noted. According to reviews, the gyro scooter is quite suitable for use by a child - another thing is that the models of this class have speed limits and a more reliable design. Accordingly, electric scooters for children and adults can be found on the market.
The second classification involves the separation of segways in size. True, this is a common symptom, since in this case the structural features of the electric scooter are also taken into account. There are full-fledged classic models of such equipment, as well as versions without a steering wheel and a control stand - this is a less speedy, but compact hoverboard. Mini-Segway, reviews of which indicate ease of use, still requires good preparation from the user, since the control method in his case is somewhat different.
Main characteristics
The first thing that may interest you when getting acquainted with such a model is dynamic performance. In this case, the developers do not seek to supply the equipment with high-power motors for the development of high speed. As a rule, the standard model provides 15-20 km / h. Of course, electric scooters for children have less impressive dynamics. But, as noted by the reviews, a gyro scooter with such data is quite suitable for convenient movement along narrow city streets. Problems more often arise with another characteristic - weight. Typically, users rely on the easy transportation of such vehicles. The average weight of the gyro scooter is 10 kg. This is a good indicator if you need to transport the model in a car or on a bicycle, but you won’t drag such a device on yourself. It is also worth paying attention to the capabilities of the battery. The larger it is, the greater the mass of the structure. But on the other hand, a capacious battery will allow you to use the gyro scooter longer without recharging.
Smartway Model Reviews
This is a line of classic gyro scooters, which are presented on the market in several versions. The basic modification is most in demand, the cost of which is 25 thousand rubles. Users note a good battery charge of 36 volts and the small size that the Smartway gyro scooter has. Reviews regarding speed are less enthusiastic, as the maximum is only 15 km / h. But here it is important to understand that this kind of segway is not designed to achieve drive or vibrant dynamics, as the emphasis is on convenience and mobility. It is for these qualities that fans of gyro scooters value Smartway products. By the way, these models include the maintenance of performance over 20 km without recharging.
Wmotion Model Reviews
One of the most high-profile novelties in the gyro scooter segment in recent years has become a modification of WM6 from the manufacturer Wmotion. Although the main characteristics of this mini-Segway version are even inferior to long-standing analogues on the market, it has a lot of advantages. In particular, the owners note small dimensions, due to which the transportation of the device is facilitated. But unfortunately, you can use the Wmotion gyro scooter for no more than 5 hours. The battery usually lasts 3-4 hours, that is, you can use this model only purposefully to overcome short distances. Among the positive aspects of the application of this model, the owners also note manufacturability - the presence of various sensors with indicators facilitates the process of controlling the hoverboard.
Reviews about the model Smart S1
Segway lovers are well acquainted with this model, which presents a traditional look at mini-versions of electric scooters. It is this version that users of similar technology value for reliability and durability. The device has a well-thought-out technical filling, and the external design practically does not require special maintenance. True, you have to pay for reliability with modest dynamic indicators. The fact is that the Smart S1 gyro scooter is capable of speeds not exceeding 10 km / h. There is a slight difference compared to competing models, but this does not correspond in any way with the requirements for confident movement in the city. But the dimensions of this device practically eliminate the problems in transportation - with a small mass and length this gyro scooter can be carried in a large bag without experiencing serious inconvenience.
Conclusion
Of course, at this stage of the development of the general class of segway, it is too early to talk about the specific prospects of this type of transport. Nevertheless, there are some inclinations for future success. As many reviews emphasize, the gyro scooter can be considered as a continuation of the user's motor apparatus. To date, there is no more compact vehicle. But in terms of ergonomics and convenience, not everything is clear yet. There are some limitations to the operation of such models. For example, the construction of equipment with small wheels and a sensitive platform can only be used on a flat surface and with a minimum of obstacles.
