What is a gyro scooter

Thus, the hoverboard has become a kind of symbol of a new era, a breakthrough in the world of compact vehicles. In other words, a gyro scooter is a self-contained electric scooter that independently maintains balance using the principle of dynamic balancing. It is used for free movement around the city between destinations, as well as for entertainment on the street.

How to manage it

For control and smooth movement, you need to rest your feet on the platform, take a relaxed but stable posture and try to achieve balance. The gyro scooter moves to the side, which is set by the person standing on the platform, tilting the body in the desired direction. The pressure of the left or right foot on a part of the platform also controls the desired trajectory. To stop, you just need to take the original position of the body without tilting the body.

Criteria for choosing a gyro scooter

The range of models of autonomous electric vehicles is diverse and constantly expanding. In order to choose the right product and use it correctly, you need to pay attention to a number of features when buying and note the importance of each of them specifically for yourself.

Manufacturer country

When thinking about which company it is better to purchase a device from, you should pay attention to the country of origin. There are two main suppliers on the market - America and China, which differ in price-quality ratio.Chinese counterparts of popular American models will cost less, but at the same time there is a possibility of getting a low quality segway that will not last long.

That is why it is better to purchase the device from the official representative of the chosen brand. It is also necessary to check the availability of certification, related documents and familiarize yourself with the operating rules. If you buy from an unscrupulous seller, you can get a low quality model that will not meet the stated requirements, as well as create difficulties for yourself with a return or exchange.

Wheel diameter

Paying attention to the diameter of the wheels, you should understand on what terrain the Segway is supposed to be used. The larger the diameter, the more stable the hoverboard and the more surface types are submissive to it. Devices with a diameter of 6 to 8 inches have little functionality, so they are able to move freely only on a flat surface.

Design features

Not always a bright design serves as an indicator of quality and adds the advantage of a particular model. A large number of curves, arches and other accessories can deteriorate after several rides, constantly in contact with the surface. Simple shapes and small dimensions are great for maneuverability and convenience.
