Headline: RAW VIDEO: Inventor Of The Hoverboard Creates World's First Self-Balancing Two-Wheeled EV
Caption: The creator of the original Hoverboard has revealed his latest invention - a two-wheeled EV concept for everyday use. Shane Chen developed and patented the first self-balancing Hovertrax scooter, which became known as the Hoverboard, back in 2012. Despite millions of Chinese copycats flooding the market since it was revealed, Chen holds 76 patents today. Some of his most famous outside of Hoverboard include Solowheel, Orbitwheels, Powerwing, and Aquaskipper. His new creation ‘SHANE’, is a revolutionary two-wheeled electric car concept in a world of evolving mobility solutions. Inventist, the company behind the vehicle, claims to be the first of its kind designed for urban and highway driving. SHANE's design is truly distinctive, reminiscent of an oversized remote-controlled vehicle or a futuristic hovercraft equipped with wheels. Instead of the conventional four-wheel arrangement, it employs two large wheels and incorporates intelligent sensors and motors for precise directional control. While specific technical specifications such as motor power, battery capacity, range, and top speed remain undisclosed, SHANE boasts wheels that dynamically adapt to maintain stability, ensuring safety even at high velocities. The groundbreaking approach draws inspiration from the earlier hoverboard, and this latest iteration can effortlessly stabilise itself without any input from its passengers. It utilises a dynamic centre of gravity shift to provide balance and a smooth ride, complemented by a two-wheel differential speed control for ease of parking. The vehicle's large wheels and regenerative shocks contribute to enhanced energy efficiency while aiding in recharging the battery by harnessing damping energy. SHANE's ultimate objective is to redefine urban and highway transportation by presenting a practical and stable two-wheeled car concept. It envisions high-speed travel without compromising energy efficiency, representing a significant advancement in personal mobility solutions. Nevertheless, the timeline for SHANE's availability for road use remains uncertain. The company is actively seeking partners to license this innovative vehicle.
