Segways has unveiled an extraordinary Ninebot Electric Gokart kit that turns Segway miniPRO series gyroboards into … an electric kart. The compact car is suitable for both children and adults, accelerates to 20 km / h in just 2 seconds and also has a hand brake for full drift.
The developers of this fascinating toy have launched a campaign on Indiegogo , where you can find out all the details and price offers (already raised $ 400 thousand from an initial level of $ 20 thousand).
The Ninebot Electric Gokart kit is a plastic card without a rear axle – a miniPRO320 gyroboard is installed in its place, which acts as a drive. From a battery with a capacity of 310 Wh, the electric card can travel up to 15-20 km, the battery charge takes 3.5 hours.
Controlling the kart is very simple – there is a steering wheel at hand, and acceleration, braking and reverse are done using the usual pedals. Turns can be done in a skid using the handbrake. The creators recommend using their creation for users aged 8 and over, the permissible height is from 130 to 190 cm, the maximum driver’s weight is 100 kg.
The mobile application allows you to select the appropriate driving mode(hoverboards): beginner (8 km / h), standard (18 km / h) or sport (24 km / h). It also demonstrates the current speed and range by communicating with the kart via Bluetooth.
When ordering the Ninebot Electric Gokart, you can choose the kart itself (from $ 669) or a complete set of the Segway miniPRO320 kart and gyroboard (from $ 1149), as well as the gyroboard separately (from $ 469).
