[Introduction]: It is the most attractive part of a balance car to experience some sports pleasure that requires a lot of physical strength without consuming physical strength.
The balance car started from Segway, which is a kind of personal transport vehicle with left and right wheels, electric drive and self balancing ability. Since this kind of car has been on sale since 2001, Volkswagen will not be completely ignorant of this. However, few people have ever seen a balanced car, let alone driven it.
This is largely due to the high price of balance cars. An authentic one Segway The balance car will sell for 50000 yuan, but the balance car also has domestic products. The price of the fake Segway assembled with cheap parts can be as low as 5000 yuan or 6000 yuan. However, the popularity is still very low.

Is it true that people's demand for balance cars is not strong?
Love to play computer games Ai Jing, the host of Shenzhen Mobile TV, was invited to conduct a comprehensive test and test drive of the domestic Robstep balance car. The conclusion is that if the price is not considered, a small balance car that is easy to store will bring great convenience and fun to life.
In terms of appearance and workmanship, the domestic Robstep balance car deserves to be among the best among domestic products. Including the relatively designed shape, the design of small wheels and materials. These can be seen directly.
The core sensors and computing elements are undoubtedly the key to the competitiveness of this balance car, which is intuitively reflected in the sense of operation. This balance car is responsive and superior to cheaper similar products.
The design of the small wheel makes the control more fun, but it also brings problems of speed and trafficability.
In addition, the design of this balance car does not seem to have considered the problem of handling, and the direction operating rod cannot actually carry the weight of the whole car. So when you have to go up and down the steps, you can only bend down to pick up the whole car - the weight is a small matter, but the previous high spirited force on the car will instantly drop to a negative value.
This is not the biggest weakness. As its key advantage lies in the electronic system, the biggest weakness of this balance car lies in the battery. The main performance is that: it cannot be fully charged - some large capacity lithium batteries have this problem; There will also be considerable power consumption during idle time. When you leave idle for a day or two after being fully charged, you will find that there are only one or two grids left in five grids. To avoid being left on the road, it is best to plug in the charging half a day before you travel.
To sum up, in addition to the battery and handling problems, Ainongji and Aijing, a beautiful woman, are satisfied with the Robstep balance car - regardless of its price of 16900~19800 yuan.
Another major feature of this car is that it has the novice mode and the normal mode, which are switched by the remote key. The minimum speed of novice mode is 7KM/H - the novice mode is tested to save much more power than the normal mode. But in the long distance driving, the novice mode really makes people worried - if they want to accelerate, they will suddenly limit the speed and protect the brake, especially when crossing the road at the zebra crossing. As they are about to reach the opposite side, they suddenly automatically lean back to brake, which is easy to make drivers anxious about what to do with the lights.
Therefore, the actual test of Ainong Computer uses the normal mode.
The maximum uninterrupted driving distance of this balance car is 5km. When starting, the power is displayed in 4 grids. When arriving, the power is displayed in two grids in running mode and three grids in standby mode. From this, we can judge that the official said that it is feasible for the car to travel 20 kilometers on the flat ground when it is fully charged.
In addition, Ainongji also drove the balance car along the climbing path of Shenzhen Lianhuashan Park to the top. The whole process is full of power. The climbing speed can still reach the official speed of 15KM/H, and the experience is very good. When the driving length (round trip) is about 4000 meters and the vertical height climbs 108 meters, half of the power is consumed. It can be seen that higher power output is required for climbing, but this increase in power consumption is also acceptable. Interestingly, the police station in Lianhua Mountain is also equipped with two Robstep balance cars, which are the same model as Ainongji, but with the words "police" on them. It can be seen that balance car really has advantages in mountain patrol.
In addition, Ainaoji also drove this balance car to try to take the subway and go shopping. This is basically no problem in Shenzhen. On the one hand, the barrier free facilities in public places in Shenzhen are well constructed, and the robstep balance car with small wheels can be put on the escalator to get up and down (if you ride Segway, you can only take the straight elevator); On the other hand, the management personnel of relevant places in Shenzhen regard the balance car as a safe toy and will not obstruct it - for example, a traffic police uncle stopped Aiganji to inquire where it is sold, and restaurants in Vientiane City also welcome Aiganji to ride the balance car for consumption. However, it should be noted that in the subway, it is better to push. The main reason is that people are crowded and crowded. Although the balance car can ensure that people on the train will not fall down in pushing, it can also not guarantee that people will accidentally press others' feet in the crowded crowd.
The driving style is the greatest pleasure in driving this balanced car.
After starting the balance car, the feeling of stepping on the pedal with one hand holding the pole is quite like stepping on the ancient Roman chariot; While the experience of using the forward tilt of the body's center of gravity to accelerate and decelerate is very similar to surfing or skiing, the backward deceleration brake is similar to riding a horse - the middle school and second year youth can also shout "whoop..." when braking, and people with similar sports experience will be more willing to drive a balanced car.
It is the most attractive part of a balanced car to experience some sports pleasure that requires a lot of physical strength without consuming physical strength. However, it should be noted that if driving a balance car is regarded as a kind of sports event, it is not without sports injuries. Standing in a fixed position for a long time still puts a lot of pressure on the knee. It is recommended that drivers should come down every 1000 meters to relax and stand for rest - use the waiting time for red lights.
In the actual application scenario, the balance car replaces the folding bicycle. Including transportation work to the destination about 2000 meters away and as a vehicle or subway connection tool (driving from the destination to the nearest subway station or parking lot). This makes most consumers choose bicycles between folding bicycles worth hundreds of yuan and balance bicycles worth tens of thousands of yuan.
But obviously, a balance car is cooler, safer and, in some cases, more convenient than a bicycle. If the price drops to the price level of a laptop or even a smartphone on the premise of ensuring the workmanship and quality level of a similar Robstep balance car, then the balance car will be greatly popularized in the first tier cities.
If you don't mind spending more than 10000 yuan for this, it is highly recommended to buy one. After all, the selling point of balance car is fun and experience. Otherwise, Jobs would not consider it an "epoch-making technological invention".
