What is a gyro scooter

Another name for the gyro scooter is a hoverboard, by analogy with the fictional device from the movie "Back to the Future", which had the ability to move without contact with the ground. Thus, the hoverboard has become a kind of symbol of a new era, a breakthrough in the world of compact vehicles. In other words, the gyro scooter is an autonomous electric scooter that maintains balance on its own using the principle of dynamic balancing. It is used for free movement around the city between destinations, as well as a means of entertainment on a street walk.

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 in the direction set by the person standing on the platform, tilting the body in the desired direction. The pressure of the left or right foot on part of the platform also controls the set trajectory.To stop, you just need to take the initial position of the body without tilting the body.

Criteria for choosing a hoverboard

The range of models of autonomous electric transport is diverse and constantly expanding. In order to choose the right tool 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 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 terms of price and quality. Chinese counterparts to popular American models will cost less, but there is a chance of getting a poor quality Segway that will not last long.

That is why it is better to purchase the device from the official representative of the selected brand. It is also necessary to check the availability of certification, related documents and familiarize yourself with the operating rules.In the case of a purchase 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 what terrain the use of the Segway is supposed to be. The larger the diameter, the more stable the hoverboard and the more types of surfaces are submissive to it. Devices with a diameter of 6 to 8 inches have little functionality, so they can only move freely on a flat surface.

Design features

Not always a bright design is 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 have an excellent effect on maneuverability and convenience.
