Speaker 1: I’m taking a break from the busy flooring at CES 2024 to try this. The Segway go-Kart Professional two, it is half go-kart half self-balancing bot half sport controller. Let’s take a better look.
Speaker 2: Bing.
Speaker 1: So what Segway has performed is that they’ve taken the motor expertise [00:00:30] from their self-balancing robots and put it behind this cart. And the result’s an entire lot of enjoyable. It’s totally zippy, the steering may be very direct, and since you’re so near the bottom, it is simply extraordinarily partaking. Now we have got three completely different modes. Eco mode limits me to about 5 miles per hour. Sport lets me rise up to round 11. And in race mode you have obtained a prime velocity of round 26.7 miles per hour and sufficient torque that you would be able to truly dangle the again of this factor out and have slightly little bit of enjoyable drifting. It has been an entire lot of enjoyable and the steering is just about what you [00:01:00] would count on from a cart. It’s totally direct and it’s extremely enjoyable to drive. I am simply having a blast out right here zipping round on the course. Now, the cart chassis has slightly little bit of adjustability for taller or shorter riders. I am slightly bit on the intense finish of what you could possibly slot in right here, however it’s an entire lot of enjoyable to drive round. However when the climate will get unhealthy, you do not have to cease having fun with your self. You possibly can truly deliver it inside and I am going to present you ways that works now.
Speaker 1: So whenever you deliver the cart into the home, you may truly join it to your gaming [00:01:30] console utilizing slightly dongle like this, and that’ll mean you can remodel the cart right into a racing simulator rig. So right here I’m enjoying a sport on the display screen and my steering wheel and my pedals work similar to they’d if I had been out on the monitor. Nonetheless, I’ve the additional advantage of haptic suggestions right here. So if I run into this phone pole, for instance, I am going to truly really feel the bottom of the seat vibrate, and that provides slightly bit of additional immersion, which might be the sting in profitable a race.
Speaker 1: [00:02:00] Now I promised you three modes, and that is the third. With simply two screws and a few Velcro straps. You possibly can take away the motor unit from the cart and convert it right into a self-balancing robo hovercraft. Now, I’ve by no means been on one in all these earlier than, imagine it or not. So my good friend David at Segway goes to be sure that I do not injure myself right here. So that you go into the app and you set it into self-balancing mode, and then you definitely simply hop on little wobbly there. However right here we go. I am on [00:02:30] you. Lean ahead to go ahead and whoa, whoa, you lean backwards to return. I believe I am getting the dangle of it. Lean to the left to show lean to the precise to show. So that is the third mode, and you may truly use this to get round whenever you’re not simply scooting or enjoying video video games, which truly provides slightly bit extra practicality to purchasing the package deal. [00:03:00] And right here we go. Oh, it is rather a lot simpler whenever you’re not simply making an attempt to face round and stability when you get transferring. Oh yeah, I am feeling it. So yeah, possibly I am slightly too large for this factor, however for teenagers simply moving into racing simulation or carting, I believe this might be an effective way to introduce them to each. Make sure to head over to cnet.com the place you may be taught extra about the remainder of Seg Micro mobility merchandise [00:03:30] and the remainder of the cool issues taking place over at CS 2024. I am going to see you there.
