If human beings were created having gears and microprocessors it would not be hard to visualize our movement occurring by a system similar to that of the Segway. Having had the opportunity to use the Segway a couple times, the lasting impression is the easy of movement with which the Segway operates. But it does not take an engineer to see that there are many things that could be done to enhance the experience and make the Segway more accessible to a much wider market.
At the 2014 CES event, Inmotion presented its latest invention which already has been noted to be a formidable rival to the Segway. There are many key design attributes that make the SCV worth paying special attention to. It is significantly lighter than the Segway, the handle bar system can be removed from the base of the device which makes transporting it in the back of any vehicle much easier. There is a new key system that allows you to lock the SCV and the greatest revelation that the SCV will bring to the market is PRICE.
Expected to start at $2500.
Why is price the greatest revelation? Lately there is a push to assist Wounded Warriors that have lost some of their mobility due to injuries. This push entails providing these Soldiers with their own Segway, but like most things cost not only affects, but limits the outcome. With Inmotion SCV costing an attainable $2500, it is not hard to visualize every Soldier that has had their mobility affected using a SCV. The SCV can be expected to hit the market in the upcoming weeks. Here is to movement without limitations.
