Ogo Evolution 1
Ogo Technology - Walter Delson
"The Evolution 1 is the first Ogo in the Evolution series. Designed and built with the best safety and the most unique features of any self-balancing personal transportation device. The powerful two-wheeled self-balancing platform means you travel over uneven terrain, scale inclines and navigate troughs, while always remaining level in your seat – giving you access to places such as beaches, forests, tracks and pathways that would be impossible for most other personal mobility devices. It comes in a standard set up that fits through standard doorways and will take you most places, but by changing to the additional Off-Road Kit, you can go almost anywhere - tackling soft sand, gravel, and rough terrains and inclines with minimal impact on the flora and delicate surfaces. It is smaller, lighter, and faster than most other powered mobility devices."
