Single Wheel, Self Balancing “Vehicle” from Segway
Perhaps not in everyone’s fleet but how cool: Segway Inc. a leading provider of electric personal transportation, has announced the debut of its One S1 — a single wheel, self-balancing unicycle-style device.
At a price point of $749, the company advises that the “One S1 is not for everyone, riding takes skill.”
“We’ve found that riders with a certain skill set, combined with a fearless mindset, can learn to ride in about an hour. It may take other riders longer to become proficient,” said Brian Buccella, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Segway. “
The One S1 is compact, weighing just 25 pounds, appeals to 16+ year old riders and can accommodate up to 220 pounds. Its lithium-ion batteries deliver sustainable power and allow riders to travel up to 15 miles on a single charge, depending on payload and terrain, with a top-speed of up to 12.5 mph.
One S1 accessories include training wheels, kickstand, protective bumpers and graphic decals. Each accessory offers retailers a chance to better meet their customers’ expectations for a completely customized riding experience.
