We love crazy gadgets and toys around here and when we first saw the Kiwano KO1+ we thought you’d be interested as well. The Kiwano KO1+ is a crazy self-balancing scooter that can go up to 12mph. This isn’t the company’s first scooter, but rather an upgrade to the Kiwano KO1.

The self-balancing Kiwano KO1+ is controlled through the rider’s movements with technology the company calls “Auto Deck Smart Control System.” Riders simply step on the scooter, tilt it forward to launch, and proceed to control it with forward and backward body movements.

The all-new Turn & Go system allows riders to make quick and safe turns in new directions for easier handling.
The companion app adds another layer of personalization for a custom riding experience unlike other electric rideables. Users can select their desired launch position and switch between Novice/Pro modes depending on your skill set for a more comfortable ride. Using the wireless feature, the scooter can be controlled with the touch of a button for hands-free repositioning. The app also acts as a digital key for an added level of security.
