2016-01-08
even though it's slow called hoverboards have been banned from places like airports airplanes and even here at CES 2016 this is the original Segway but they are back with a product called the Mini Pro there is this module that you hold between your knees like so and you move your legs left and right in order to turn unlike all the other so-called hoverboards and self balancing boards on the market that don't come with instructions the Segway mini pro actually comes with instructions through the app and a tutorial that won't let you ride fast until you pass the test and as always safety first helmet and safety gear is advised and the feel is actually a lot more soft and more secure than these so called public woods I've written a lot of them so I can tell you for real that this is real talk this is a much smoother much easier to ride there's pneumatic tires which provide a lot more cushioning and a lot more comfort and also about the mini prairie this is all able to be controlled through your smartphone apps sorry if you want to autonomously brings a Segway towards you or steer it around you can do so within the app it's not going to go as fast as it does when you're riding it top speed is 11 miles an hour you can also limit the top speed through the app itself so for example if you have a child riding you can make sure that the top speed is much less than the 11 miles an hour also within the app you can change the lighting color and also see metrics of your ride while you're riding such as direction and also the speed you're going at plus there is this nifty handle that lifts up so you can walk it wherever you need to go if you can't ride it the range of the mini pro is 60 miles and it weighs 28 it's going to be available from February for 1299 dollars or 999 dollars three Amazon if you want to find out more cool stuff from the Consumer Electronics Show check out cnet.com
