The gyropod is the pioneering electric vehicle on the urban mobility market. Popularized by the Segway and Airwheel brands, it allows you to get around in a fun and ecological way. With its elegant and futuristic design , it is a means of electric transport perfectly suited to daily use in the city or for leisure with the all-terrain self-balancing version. Our self-balancing scooters were voted favorite products by the editorial staff of the magazine 24h00.fr
Do you want to buy a Segway but are hesitant between our different models? Are you looking for more details on the technical characteristics of these electrical machines? Here are the 5 points to know before purchasing a self-balancing scooter.
The size of the wheels of a Segway
The size of the wheels of an electric Segway is an essential point. The larger the diameter of the wheels of a self-balancing scooter, the more stable the user will be and will gain in comfort of use . There are several wheel sizes: 10.5 inches for mini gyropods like the Ninebot Mini , 14 inches for city gyropods like the Pulsar or 19 inches for the all-terrain gyropod like the Weebot Echo .
A quality battery
The most important component of an electric scooter is its battery. At Weebot our self-balancing scooters are equipped with batteries from the biggest brands like Samsung, Panasonic and LG. Some Segway batteries are removable which can be practical for intensive use such as those of professionals.
Powerful gyropod engines
The second essential element to take into account at the technical level is the power of the engines. We recommend purchasing self-balancing scooters with a minimum motor power of 600W . Below that you won't get enough torque to enjoy riding, especially on climbs. On the most high-end models like the Echo you will find motors of around 2000W to 2500W like on the IO Chic self-balancing scooter .
Connectivity (Bluetooth, GPS, etc.)
Premium models are often equipped with additional features such as GPS or Bluetooth speakers. Initially only accessible on Segway models, this connectivity is now available on many other versions of electric self-balancing scooters.
A Segway customer service in France
Nothing is more annoying than having your Segway stop working. If breakdowns can occur on urban mobility devices such as hoverboards , the important thing is to contact a competent after-sales service in France.
Weebot is a French company with a network of physical stores and repair workshops in the Paris region.
