Royston, Hertfordshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/30/2015 -- New styles and colors of the popular Swegway self-balancing board have been introduced at www.swegwayboards.uk. For a limited time, shoppers there will also enjoy discounts of up to 20% on some of the most popular models. Making use of the same basic technology that powers the revolutionary Segway personal transport system, but in a more advanced and compact form, Swegway Boards allow riders to travel up to 20 kilometers on a single, 90-minute charge. Most people are able to learn how to ride a Swegway within 15 minutes, with sensors and powerful chips within taking care of balancing.

"We're happy to announce that we've just taken delivery of the newest Swegway styles and color choices," Swegway Boards representative Ryan Purham said, "The new 10-inch-wheel Swegway is already proving to be a great choice for those looking for an even smoother ride and the ability to cruise over bigger bumps and curbs. Some great new color options are also making a big impression with our customers. Many models are now on sale, too, so there has never been a better time to get started with this amazing new means of personal transportation."

Although the Segway PT self-balancing personal vehicle made a big splash with its 2001 introduction, it has never caught on the way that many predicted it would. Relatively bulky and heavy for a device meant to serve a single rider, the Segway PT is also fairly expensive, with these factors combining to make it impractical for many purposes.

In the years since the birth of the Segway, those interested in advancing the state of personal transportation have been hard at work overcoming these weaknesses. That effort has resulted in what is now the wide availability of self-balancing boards that are compact and light enough for riders to pick them up and carry them around once they have reached their destinations.

Swegway Boards are some of the best-known and most popular of all of these. New owners need only to be able to stand upright, as the machines themselves take care of balancing, while intuitive, natural shifts of the rider's weight set the course of travel. Capable of traveling anywhere from 10 to 20 kilometers under normal usage conditions, the two-wheeled boards can be fully recharged in as little as 90 minutes, making them easy and rewarding to integrate into everyday life.

At swegwayboards.uk, visitors will find one of the top online sources for these much talked-about personal transportation devices. With separate stores serving shoppers in both the United Kingdom and the United States, Swegway Boards maintains reliable inventories of these popular products. The newly introduced 10-inch-wheel Swegway model, along with a selection of new color options like metallic gold, are now available, with many models being on sale for a limited time.
