Shane Chen of Inventist is touted as the creator of the original hoverboard, and his latest project, SHANE, borrows its two-wheeled design. It comes equipped with parallel wheels that automatically react relative to the car body, keeping it in perfect balance, even at high speeds.
SHANE was designed to be practical and efficient for everyday urban as well as highway use where laws permit. The front wheel steering system ensures greater maneuverability and makes parking a breeze, thanks to the two wheel differential speed control. Large wheels minimize rolling resistance while in-wheel regenerative shocks store damping energy to recharge the battery. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on if or when we’ll see a functional prototype from Inventist.
- Most Classic and Reliable: The GXL V2 is the Gotrax's most classic, mature, and reliable model. The GXL V2 has a large console, long battery life, All-aluminum alloy frame, front headlight, and UL2272 certification, safe and smooth to ride
- Long Life Battery: Featuring a 36V 5.2Ah long life battery, this GXL V2 scooter can reach up to a max speed of 15.5 MPH and a max range of 9 miles under optimum conditions; With the cruise control system, bringing convenience to your riding
- Anti-flat 8.5" Inner Honeycomb (Solid) Tire: It requires no maintenance, no repair, anti piercing, so you needn't worry about being punctured. The solid tire has more cushion and provides a more comfortable ride than the traditional air tire
Chen’s colorful history of inventions have won awards at CES, INPEX, ISPO and The History Channel and one of his scientific instrument inventions has been used by NASA in the space station. Now his original Hoverboard is featured in a new exhibit in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London,” said the company.
