I survived a test drive aboard the Swagway X1 'hover board'
This is a bad idea. I’m standing atop a Swagway X1,a two-wheeled, self-balancing personal mobility device, inching forward without benefit of a helmet or body parts wrapped in bubble wrap.
Somehow, however, I survived my first ride.
If you’ve never heard of Swagway, you’ve likely heard of the increasingly popular IO Hawk “hover board,” a device which neither hovers nor is a board. Put simply, Swagway and IO Hawk are skateboard-sized platforms that glide along on two 7-inch wheels and use robotic technology, gyroscopes and accelerometers to maintain their balance.
