If you didn't consider the Segway electric two-wheeler because of the price and its clumsiness, you will be happy to hear that this American brand, which has since passed into Chinese ownership, has produced a cheaper version that is admittedly slower, but also lighter and safer. It is a scaled down and slightly modified version of the 2001 original with tweaked steering.
Segways, which was bought by the Chinese for years Ninebot, returns with a model MiniPro. If the original two-wheeler was too heavy to carry and couldn't be picked up, the MiniPro is just the right size to take with you when you get off it (weighs 12.7 kilograms). Segway ensures that they are improved steering and vehicle control, which boasts the same sensors and balance maintenance systems as the "life-size" model.

Another big change is control mode. Segway MiniPro, which they placed on 10.5 inch tires namely, due to its small size, we no longer steer by moving the center of gravity, but with the knees at the height of which the steering wheel is located, which is also a carrying handle. The vehicle can reach speeds up to 16 km/h, the battery lasts 22 kilometers, 800-watt motor can overcome slopes with slope up to 15% and transport people heavy to 84 kilograms. It will hit the shelves on June 29, 2016, and it will cost approx. 880 euros.
