Electric Wheel - Segway alternative

Do you think that Segway is boring? You have to check the Electric Wheel!

The electric wheel is a futuristic and great looking personal electric vehicle. The technology behind the electric wheel is a gyroscopic electric drive system that self-balances, making steering and control intuitive and unbelievably simple. The gyroscope sensors also allow the vehicle to accelerate and decelerate, as well as move forward and backwards.

That's right, the electric wheel is a unicycle, but it is very easy to learn to ride in the electric wheel. In a couple of hours, you will be riding up and down and left and right at the maximum speed of 16Km/h.

Comparing the electric wheel with the Segway i2, we easily notice the size difference between the two. The Wheel is much smaller and lighter and has only one wheel. It weights around 14kg and these factors makes easy to carry it around in your car or just to pick it up and climb some stairs in your way. The Segway weights around 45Kg and it's not easy to put that inside your car. The autonomy on the Electric wheel is around 20Km and for the Segway around 35Km, although the charging time is faster for the Electric Wheel.

The price is also important in this choice, the cost of Segway i2 is around 5500€ and the electric wheel can be found for around 900€. Can almost 6 times less make a difference?



Our final opinion is that you need to look which Personal Electric Vehicle suits more your needs and lifestyle. The Electric Vehicles and the Segway look like completely different PEVs but looking "closely" you can see that they are very similar.
