The Segway start the floodgates for numberless personal mobility machine , with designs that rank from conservative to downright crazy . And theAeyo — a cross between a scooter , a bicycle , and a brace of inline skates — descend somewhere in the eye of that scale .
The Aeyo is ridden in a standing position like a scooter , but instead of kicking off the footing or pedaling for propulsion , your feet are flog into a yoke of what appear like inline skates , which are attached to the rest of the contraption with a distich of articulated ramification . So a childlike skating motion gets the Aeyo rolling , while steering and braking follow courtesy of its handlebars .
Surprisingly , because the chain of mountains of gesture of the skate is limited , and because there ’s a handlebar to savvy , riding the Aeyo is supposedly a lot safer and easy than tumbler blading . There ’s still a snatch of a memorize curved shape with the Aeyo , however , even if you ’re already comfortable roller blading . But the risk of fall and scrap up your limb is almost non - existent .
Targeted at commuters , fitness enthusiasts , and of grade , uttermost athlete — who will probably get countless ways to jump and toss this thing — the Aeyo is currently usable for just northwards of $ 600 . And while it does seem to provide a cheesy alternative to a car for getting to and from employment , the veridical appealingness here seems to be the full consistence workout you ’d be getting during your commute .
