- This is so awesome!
The maneuverability, just right off the bat,
is not that hard.
Hey, what's good you guys?
Welcome back to TechSmartt,
and I have one thing to ask and I want you guys to answer
this in the comments.
Is what I'm about to show you the future?
Because I think it is the closest thing we have come yet.
Let me give you guys some back story,
so inside this white box is a product you have never
seen before, something that I've honestly never seen before.
We're about to find out together.
This is made by Segway, and Segway, you guys know,
they had the big ole' ride able thing with the handlebars,
then they actually inquired this company called Ninebot,
and that was the thing I showed you guys like,
a few years ago.
It's up in the I card if you missed it.
That was like, the best hover board yet.
It didn't catch on fire, it had this bar so you could
kind of pivot, make sharper turns.
Now today, they have completely killed both ideas
and made something that solves both problems.
We're about to see it.
This is the future.
And I am so pumped to try this out.
You can feel the excitement is so real!
Inside this box are, what I'm gonna call,
the next level rocket shoes.
These literally feel like rocket shoes,
and I haven't even rid them yet,
I'm just holding them.
I do not even know what to expect.
And then, of course,
there's a charger to charge these things up.
The have two ends for one charge port,
that means both rocket shoes can charge at the same time.
That is a really nice inclusion,
thank you so much, Segway.
That's not always the case.
So you guys are looking at this, just like me,
for the first time and you're probably like,
am I just going to eat the pavement?
I wasn't saying pavement, you know what I wanted to say,
but are you just gonna fall and this is just gonna be
an emergency trip as fast as it could possibly be?
(beep)
What's up guys?
It's your boy Keaton here.
(moans)
And no, and here's why.
On the bottom you guys can see there are these two
large holes for Onewheel-type things.
You might've seen the Onewheel,
it's a ride-able, I love it to death.
These are basically two Onewheels,
and one on each foot, so you're getting,
I'm not saying improved stability,
but the best you could possibly get,
and something that also has straps.
You can carry this around, it makes a whole lot of sense
compared to some of the others out there.
I might as well just power these on.
So there's a power button on the side right here,
it turns on, and you get a light on each.
They're self-balancing, almost shoes,
but, as you can tell, the differences with the hover board,
there's no guardrails, there's nothing to put your foot up
against, so it's really coming down to this rubber,
and depending on how thick and rigid it is
out in the real world, when we test it,
that's gonna be the make or break.
So, these should be the coolest thing you'd ever check out.
If you go to the roller derby, or the roller rink,
I know it's not the 1980s, but you'd be the hottest
thing in town.
So the only thing left to do is,
let's test out riding these things,
and see what some other people think,
let's go to Venice Beach.
We've made it to Venice Beach,
and we're about to try out the Drift W1s
for the first time, and I had this kind of crazy idea.
If it hits 25,000 likes, I'm going to reach out to Segway,
the whole team is, and let's try to do
a massive giveaway of these.
Hey, you never know what's possible,
so drop a like, 25k, maybe things will happen.
And I'm just going to keep calling them,
the Drifts for the rest of this video.
We got the first Drift set up,
the second one's all set up.
Let's step on this and see what it's like.
This is so awesome!
The maneuverability just right off the bat,
is not that hard.
(upbeat music)
Initial impressions on these is,
the only thing you have to watch out for,
is when you're knees go like that.
Then you have to really re-center it.
Other than that, it's way easier than I expected.
I picked this up in five minutes.
Pretty easy, I would say, balance is obviously everything.
It's got a little hill grade, ooh did not expect that.
First time going up a hill, it can do it.
Little hill, though.
Very little.
So you might be asking,
is there a dedicated left and right shoe?
No, you just power them on,
you put them on your feet and it doesn't really matter.
One thing I will say, after riding these
for about 30 minutes is, going over bumps
is the scariest thing ever, there's no suspension.
So that's one thing nice about the hover board.
So I would say it's a little harder to learn this
than a regular hover board, but like you saw some guy
just drive it for five minutes.
More people are trying it, they get it much quicker
than they think they will, and I think
that's just where the confidence comes into play.
Josh, dude, these are so much fun,
and, I don't know if you guys can tell,
but I really like the W1s.
I think they're cool, definitely something to check out.
If you guys are new, make sure you hit subscribe,
so you don't miss anything coming up.
Especially if we can pull off this giveaway.
Check out the last two videos right over here,
and I'll see you guys next time, peace!
