Hoverboards with seat

The predecessor of the hoverboard was a segway, the authorship of which belongs to Dean Kamen. He presented his invention in 2001. And the first gyro scooters began to appear less than 10 years ago, and during this short period they found true love and popularity among their fans. For cities, they turned out to be a convenient means of transportation, demand for them increased, and companies producing sports equipment began to complicate the models - unicycle, gyro scooters with a handle, a trolley, a seat appeared. This article will focus on a product with a seat.

Electric vehicles are fashionable and affordable today - scooters, bicycles, mono-wheels, segways can be found every day. And you won't surprise anyone with gyro scooters. They can move at a speed of 15-17 km per hour, 3 times faster than a pedestrian. A good lithium-ion battery lasts for a long time. Such opportunities make it possible to use a vehicle in a small town not only for walking, but also for trips to study or work.

To take the strain off your legs and make long trips with ease, the hoverboard seat was invented. Such a model is rarely seen on our streets - it costs more, besides, conservatism interferes, because it is more customary to ride while standing. Nevertheless, manufacturers do not stop at a simple attachment installed on a vehicle, they come up with various options for devices that make this type of transport pleasant and convenient.
