# Two-Wheel Transportation Boards The S-Walker Board is a New Way to Manually Move Around By Sarah St.Jules | Published 2013-09-12 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swalker-board References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/s-walker-board-balance-board-segway-skateboard/29036/) If you have been looking for a new way to travel, then the S-Walker Board is something to get excited about. A cross between [a skateboard and a Segway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-diwheel), this board takes the best features of each product and combines them into one. It has [two wheels attached](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tltboard-gorilla) to the inside of the board and your movement determines the speed. If you lean forward, it will go faster, and backwards will slow it down. Wiggling your legs in a pivoting motion will control the curves. Even though the S-Walker Board is still not road-ready, it will be available soon. This is definitely an [environmentally friendly way to move around](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modi), and you’ll save a lot of money on gas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Personal Transportation Boards:** The combination of different types of board transportation showed that there is interest in a new personal mobility device - **Smart Segways:** Combining the technology of a Segway into other devices could be a potential innovation opportunity - **Green Mobility Solutions:** As more transportation options focus on using environmentally-friendly methods, there is a clear opportunity in this space for new and improved products ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports and Recreation:** The idea of combining skateboard-like features with Segway technology could be applied to the sports and recreation industry - **Personal Electric Transportation:** Companies that produce and distribute personal electric transportation devices could benefit from incorporating the technology of the S-Walker Board into their products - **Urban Transportation:** Given the focus on environmentally-friendly transportation in cities, the S-Walker Board could potentially be adapted for use in urban transportation systems ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Single-Wheeled Modular Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-naowheel.md) - [Modular Monowheel Hoverboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naowheel.md) - [Onewheel Off-Road Board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offroad-board.md) - [All Terrain Electric Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skwheel-one.md) - [Skateboard-Inspired Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bustin-boards-skatex.md) - [Bluetooth-Operated Motorized Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-electric-skateboard.md) - [Robust Electric Kick Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-stand-bike.md) - [Senior-Supporting Mobility Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-mobility-skateboard.md) - [Sleek Senior Walker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suzuki-go.md)
