The Swagger is my favorite new toy

swagger2

The company that invented the Swagway hover-board came out with an electric scooter called The Swagger and I love it. This zippy, carbon fiber toy weighs only 15 lbs, is easily carried and has a small form factor when collapsed.

I work in a large, carpeted office and we use the Swagger to blow off steam after long meetings. I've been riding around on it for a few weeks now and there is so much cool about this thing.

THE PROS

  • The Swagger is UL 2272 compliant, which means itll never burst into flames!
  • The Swagger has a backlit digital display with an odometer, speedometer, 3 speeds and cruise control. Why Id need cruise control on this is beyond me but Im glad its there!
  • The factory set top speed of the Swagger is 15MPH and though is may not sound fast enoughit is. Theres even a way to lower the top speed if you'd like.
  • The Swagger has a blindingly bright headlamp for night riding and the package as a whole looks and feels solid.
  • The manufacturer, claims that a 1.5 hour charge will take you between 10-15 miles. Im actually experiencing 5-7 but I think it's because I'm normally riding in the top gear at full throttle.

THE CONS

  • The $399.00 price tag is pretty steep for an office toy. But if you live in a flat area and your commute to work is short, you should check it out.
  • The Swagger doesn't go up hills very well.

But to me the pros far outweigh the cons and Ill probably buy a second so that I can ride around with my wife. Below is Swagtron's promo video and from the look of it, the odds of meeting young ladies who also ride Swaggers to work are 1 in 1!
