Chapter I Introduction of ESWING
The working principle is based on the basic principle called "dynamic stability"
which is the automatic balance ability of the vehicle itself. After judging body
posture position with a built-in precision solid gyroscope, the vehicles electronic
brain works out proper instructions through a sophisticated and high-speed central
microprocessor, electric scooter will drive the motor to balance the vehicle.
As a new transporter, ESWING is difficult to classify in the traditional way, some
people think that ESWING should be a kind of double-wheeled Unicycle, while
other people think it should be classed as a power stand-up Scooter, with its
uniaxial double design which is different from the traditional biaxial double scooter,
for official road regulations, this transporter is called Electric Personal Assistive
Mobility Device (EPAMD)
ESWING is equipped with dual wheels; its width is as narrow as a normal adult
shoulder's width. It is around 46.5KG (Li-ion battery) operated. It is not necessary
to have a brake or throttle during driving. When the driver leans his body forward,
ESWING will run forward, when the body is upright, it will stop. It uses the dynamic
balance principle, as the body moves to change the center of gravity so as to keep
balance. Just as the human body stands and leans forwards it can lose balance,
but the body's natural instinct will maintain balance, the dynamic stability
replicates this. ESWING uses the wheels to replace the function of the feet,
reproducing the high precision balance action of a human, it is also cheap and
convenient to use. The energy comes from two repeat charging BTM batteries
which are free from maintenance. If sufficient power is supplied to your battery, the
full charge capacity will last continuous for 5 hours driving, the driving range
depends on the way you drive and ground conditions, driving on grass and slopes
will consume more driving power.
