The company Hovershoes X1, a subsidiary of InMotion, has introduced its latest innovation – hoverbot. It is very reminiscent of the fabulous boots that carry the owner on the road without any effort from his side, not in appearance but in fact. Structurally, this is a pair of mini-platforms with motors and balancing mechanism, which are mounted on each leg.
Each instance Hovershoes weighs 2.7 kg, has a 250-watt motor and rechargeable battery of 54 WH. It provides a power reserve of 8 km with a speed of 8 km/h, like Jogging. Hoverbot can climb the slope at an angle of 9 degrees and can carry 80 kg of load.
A controversial advantage, it is a key feature of hoverbot — Autonomous operation of each device of the pair. They have the same characteristics, but individual balancing system that allows you to make a very unusual maneuvers. But with proper skill of knowledge of the tool – to effectively move over rough terrain or doing tricks.
Bots have protection class of IP65, they are waterproof and dustproof, is relatively resistant to shocks. They can cross the shallow puddles or ride in the handstand, if you have enough dexterity. On sale Hovershoes will arrive in late July at a price of $499.
