Wheel size

The diameter of the wheels used in the vehicle. Technically, larger wheels contribute to rolling ability and reduce sensitivity to obstacles and small bumps. However, these possibilities are influenced by many other factors, not least the engine power: with a weak engine, the unit may not have time to cope with the obstacle, which will lead to the rider falling forward. Therefore, large wheels must be combined with a powerful engine.

By itself, information about the diameter of the wheel can be useful when repairing or replacing it.

More features

Position lights. The dimensions of the self-stabilizing transport are small, so such lights not only highlight the dimensions of the vehicle, but increase its visibility. This function is especially important at night — for safety, both for the rider and those around him. And in some countries, operation without position lights is prohibited by law.

In models that do not have front and rear sides as such and can drive equally efficiently in either direction, position lights are often made in the form of switchable two-colour lights: for example, the device turns on white light from the side it is currently traveling to, and red on the opposite side of the case.

— Bluetooth. This feature turns the vehicle into a mobile speaker system: you can connect an external Bluetooth device (for example, a smartphone) to it and listen to music through the built-in speakers during the ride.

USB port. Usually, this port is intended for charging smartphones or other gadgets from the built-in battery — thus, the vehicle turns into an external battery (power bank). At the same time, given the impressive battery capacity in a self-stabilizing vehicle, charging an external gadget has practically no effect on the power reserve — especially since we are most often talking about a minimum charge replenishment, and not about charging up to 100%.

...Remote control. Such control can be carried out both from a separate remote control supplied in the kit, and via a smartphone (usually via Bluetooth) using a proprietary application. Specific control options can be different — up to the tracking mode, when the device itself follows the owner at a certain distance. However, anyway, this function significantly expands the possibilities of transport.

Power

The power of the motor installed in the device. For models with two electric motors, this paragraph usually indicates their total power.

This parameter is one of the most critical for self-balancing transport. On the one hand, powerful motors improve the efficiency of balancing (especially with the large weight of the rider), allow you to reach high speed, effectively overcome bumps in the road and climb hills. On the other hand, they weigh a lot, are expensive and require capacious batteries to ensure a decent range (which further affects the weight and price of the entire unit). Therefore, motor power, usually, directly depends on the price category of a particular model.

In fact, the more powerful the motors, the better, and the question of choice for this parameter depends primarily on the price.
