Better than a Segway?
The Movement Design Bureau’s blog recently introduced me to the Easy Glider:
It’s basically a scooter-segway-bike-hybrid sort of thing, with an electric powered front wheel, and a long handle which has a motorbike-like control for acceleration and braking. You can either hold onto the device and let it ‘tow’ you along on your roller-blades or skateboard, or there’s a scooter-type platform which is part of the glider itself on which you can just stand.
Speed is controlled via a series of three keys - which, like the Segway - controls the maximum speed of the device - those top speeds being 6, 12, or 20 km/h, which is comparable to a pedal cycle in most people’s hands.
