Perhaps you have bad knees. Maybe your shoes are hurting you. Could be you just flat out don’t like walking. If so, let me introduce you to the IO Hawk, a new product showcased at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show.
The IO Hawk is like a skateboard and handle-less Segway. It weighs 22 pounds, can reach speeds of up to six miles per hour, and lasts for 10 to 12 miles on a single charge. It also has shiny, colorful lights.
“A person riding on the IO Hawk looks regal. You get about six inches of lift from the device, and you end up moving silently and smoothly. If you’re not looking at the rider’s feet, all you see is a tall person gliding,” reported Rafe Needleman, editorial director at Yahoo Tech. “This is an amazing device.”
The company is currently taking advance orders and hopes to lower the price ($1,800) before it’s officially available.
