iconBIT Smart Scooter Kit

Hong Kong-based iconBIT is known for its high-quality, affordable media players that enhance the smart functionality of TVs. However, the brand is not only famous for TV set-top boxes — the range of products manufactured under its sign also includes gyroboards. In particular, the Smart Scooter Kit model receives close attention.

Basic principles

The gyroboard uses the basic principles of the gyroscope in its work, based on recognizing the position of the rider's centre of gravity and responding to its changes. So, when the user leans forward, the board begins to rapidly develop speed, and when the body deviates slightly back, its movement slows down and the device will go in the opposite direction. To turn in the desired direction, the rider only needs to transfer body weight to the corresponding leg. It usually takes only 10-15 minutes to master the principles of model management. free time.

Driving performance

The iconBIT Smart Scooter Kit is powered by two 6.5-inch wheels with built-in 350W brushless motors. They are powered by a 4400 mAh battery, on full tanks of which the device covers a distance of about 20 km. Acceleration is taken up to 15 km/h. It is best to ride a hoverboard on flat roads with a minimum of obstacles along the way, since the ground clearance of the model (30 mm) is clearly not conducive to off-road conquest.

Case bag

It is not recommended to use the board in rainy and snowy weather, because it does not provide water protection. However, in case of a sudden downpour, the gyro scooter can be hidden in the included carrying case and delivered to your home in your hands. It will also come in handy when traveling by public transport — it’s more convenient to hold the device itself, and it won’t stain the clothes of other passengers.
