A balanced mobile platform on two wheels is not so new. Developments existed before. However, IO Hawk is ahead of the vast majority of them in compactness and accessibility.
The developers considered it necessary to create three different color schemes: black, white and red. All three models cost $ 1800, weigh about 10 kg and can carry up to 100 kg of live weight.
The principle of motion of the device is an electric motor. He develops speeds of up to 10 kilometers per hour (comparable to a cyclist who travels at a relatively leisurely pace). The usual human walk on foot, by comparison, in figures is about 4-5 km / h.
The built-in Hawk battery (36 Volts, 4.4 Ah) is capable of several hours of continuous driving. From one charge you can go to the maximum of 17-18 kilometers, which is not so little. Although the relatively small diameter of the wheels will require the highest quality road surface
