If you have been looking for a new way to travel, then the S-Walker Board is something to get excited about.
A cross between a skateboard and a Segway, this board takes the best features of each product and combines them into one. It has two wheels attached to the inside of the board and your movement determines the speed. If you lean forward, it will go faster, and backwards will slow it down. Wiggling your legs in a pivoting motion will control the curves.
Even though the S-Walker Board is still not road-ready, it will be available soon. This is definitely an environmentally friendly way to move around, and you’ll save a lot of money on gas.
