hello I'm the West lady for scene out here at CES 2014 I'm riding the in motion SCV is coming to the u.s. in just a few weeks it's basically a much cheaper slightly lighter Segway so let's examine it more closely so if you're familiar with the basic Segway concept then you'll know exactly what this is it's a vehicle you hop on it and you lean around lean forwards and back and to the sides to move around I've had a go on it it's surprisingly intuitive it feels exactly like riding a Segway to be honest but this isn't just like a Segway it's very light it weighs 15 kilograms so it's I mean it's pretty heavy to lift but you might be able to move it around a little bit more easily it has a top speed of 15 km/h and the battery will supposedly last you for 20 kilometers worth of driving one advantage this has over the Segway is you can do this remove the steering column so maybe if you're trying to fit this in the boot of a car to transport it around that could be pretty useful new with this model of the SUV is this rather nifty smart key this lets you look it remotely change some functions as well and also what's new is a smartphone app now that lets you remotely control the SCB you can also set predetermined routes for it and using a GPS built into this thing you can see where you've already gone in motion told me that one potential use of that remote control functionality is that you could strap a camera to the top of this thing and drive it around to get some cool motion shots as I mentioned it's coming to the u.s. in a couple of weeks it's not exactly cheap it cost twenty five hundred dollars but that is quite a lot more affordable than the Segway so if you're desperate to own something like this maybe it's worth considering I'm the quest rate for seen at a CES 2014 check out CES jour senior comm for more
