Segway launches Ninebot Electric Gokart on Indiegogo with miniPRO gyro board as drive

 

Segway has unveiled an extraordinary Ninebot Electric Gokart kit that turns Segway miniPRO series gyro boards 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 handbrake for full drift.

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: 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.
