At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the electric balance car, a novel mobile vehicle, was in the limelight and quickly attracted the attention of the public. At that time, the balance bike ridden by the stadium guards was a Segway product. As the originator of the balance car industry, the prototype of the Segway balance bike was developed as early as 2000, which caused a lot of sensation in Silicon Valley at that time, including Jobs and Bezos, and other technology bigwigs spoke highly of the Segway's balance bike, believing that it can subvert the automobile industry, but because the balance bike itself has some inherent defects, it is destined to be a toy for a few people.
The operation of the electric self-balancing scooter relies on the principle of "dynamic stability". When the user leans forward or backward on the balance bike, the balance bike can judge the body posture through the built-in gyroscope and acceleration sensor, and drive the motor to move forward and backward to achieve the effect of balance. Because of this, the electric balance car does not exist in the actual braking system, but the driver needs to lean back to slow down, studies have shown that at a speed of 18km/h, the balance car relies on the body backward braking reaction time of up to 8 seconds, and the safety of the balance car driver is difficult to ensure when driving at high speed.
Even though the traffic policy is not friendly to self-balancing bikes, Segway still insists on "personal travel" as a selling point. With years of technology accumulation and attainments in the field of robots, Segway balance vehicles can bring users the most comfortable driving experience, and also form a "dimensionality reduction blow" to other brands in the production process.
Since the original product, the shape of the Segway has hardly changed much, and the iconic design such as the hand-operated steering bar, wide pedals and tires have remained to this day, and while these configurations provide a first-class driving experience and ensure safe driving, they also make the product almost portable.
The Segway i2 is built for road commuting and costs 88,000 yuan, which is already at the level of a small sedan. The I2 is powered by 19-inch road tires and has a range of 38 km in a single ride. The maximum speed is controlled at 20km/h, and the chassis is equipped with running lights at the front and rear to add a layer of protection to the safety of the driver. The Segway X2 uses 21-inch off-road tires for better passability, making it more suitable for short commutes and outdoor play. X2A single battery life is only half of that of I2,The price has risen instead of falling,The official price is98000element。
Lumeng self-balancing scooter is a new product launched by Segway Robotics, which integrates self-balancing scooters and intelligent robots, and to a certain extent, represents the development direction of the self-balancing scooter industry. The price of Lu Meng is 9988 yuan, the shape is more compact than I2 and X2, and the cruising range of 35km can also meet the needs of most users. Lu Meng's knee-controlled steering stick has a camera at the top, which can automatically follow, avoid obstacles and follow in robot mode. Consumers can also call the vision, navigation, voice and other functional sections of the Lumeng robot through graphical programming and Android Studio programming, so that Lumeng can perform relevant actions and interactions. Whether you're a kid or an advanced gamer, you'll have a lot of fun with this customizable robot.
