ko1Are all electric scooters created the same? Not quite, as Kiwano would like to prove otherwise. Kiwano has come up with what it deems to be a revolutionary ‘one wheel handheld electric scooter’. Now that is certainly a mouthful, right? Known as the new KO1 Electric Scooter, this is a one wheel scooter that will rely on a totally custom-designed and patented wheel. Thanks to a patented drive system, it is capable of delivering the ultimate level of performance, managing speed, torque, and power without missing a beat.

Boasting of not one, but two modes, the KO1 Electric Scooter will offer pro and novice options. This means even if you have never stepped on top of a scooter before, you will be able to learn how to ride the KO1 in a matter of minutes. The Auto Deck Smart Control System itself will enable riders to simply step on the scooter, tilt it forward to launch, and proceed to control it with forward and backward body motions.

The KO1 is not only lightweight but is also strong, as it is made from premium materials such as carbon fiber and aluminum. It is also built using a long-range 20-mile battery pack, allowing it to hit a top speed of up to 20 mph, while being able to handle a 35 percent incline for typical urban hills. With an asking price of $999 apiece, the KO1 Electric Scooter will be available in stores from August onward, although pre-orders can already be placed now for a special offer of $799 plus free shipping regardless of where you are around the world. Each purchase of the KO1 will feature the choice of either having Urban (Road) or Sport (All-Terrain) tires. Apart from that, riders can select from various accessories to enhance their ride. Any takers?

lg-x-chargeWant to pick up a spanking new smartphone, but do not want to be bogged down by details of owning a high end flagship like the iPhone 7 Plus or Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus? Well, there are always more affordable options from different manufacturers, including the LG X Charge. The LG X Charge will hit theUS via Xfinity Mobile that will come with additional juice to spare. This smartphone carries LG’s largest battery which will charge in double quick time, and is capable of lasting all weekend — or so that is what LG claims, using Comcast’s latest wireless service.

The LG X Charge carries the largest battery from LG to date in a smartphone being a 4,500mAh monster, offering a 5.5-inch HD display to go along with it. It will definitely go down well with users who demand a whole lot more from this handset than others, where it has been specially designed to meet the demands of those who want maximum usage between charges.

The fast-charging battery is said to be able to last for the whole weekend before requiring a trip to the nearby power outlet, even though it has a 5.5-inch HD In-cell Touch display with 1,280 x 720 resolution. Other hardware specifications point to a 5MP wide angle camera in front, making it a snap to capture selfies just like that, while LG’s smart UX also comes with Auto Shot and Gesture Interval Shot that helps to simplify the photo-taking process by triggering the shutter whenever it detects a face or correct hand gesture. At the back lies a 13MP camera with soft LED flash, where it handles both portraits and breath-taking landscapes without missing a beat.

Powered by an octa-core 1.5GHz processor, you get 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, and Android 7.0 Nougat as the operating system of choice.

Sequent is the first kinetic self-charging smart watch in the world

Posted by Jack on in Cool Clocks, sequent, smart watch, Smartwatch

sequentWhen it comes to smart watches, most of the time we would think of the Apple Watch. After all, it is the marketing juggernaut from Cupertino that has pushed smart watches into mainstream consciousness, and while Apple continues to maintain a level of secrecy over the sales numbers of their Apple Watch, other industry players such as Huawei have also jumped aboard the bandwagon. However, there are other players that are in the smart watch market as well, and Sequent is one interesting proposition for those who intend to get their feet wet without wanting to commit a whole wad of cash upfront. What makes the Sequent smart watch so special?

For starters, the Sequent smart watch is touted to be the first kinetic self-charging timepiece in the whole world from the smart watch range. In other words, there is no need for battery power to keep this thing chugging, which does away with the need to tote around an additional charger whenever you travel, and neither do you need to hunt down those pesky cell button batteries from time to time. As long as the Sequent smart watch is able to detect a level of movement, it should be able to generate enough juice to keep it chugging along just fine.

This revolutionary “SuperCharger” hybrid smart watch boasts of a major breakthrough in technology, where it claims to be able to deliver infinite power supply. Apart from that, being a smart watch it will arrive with a slew of integrated sensors, from a heart rate sensor for fitness buffs, to GPS tracking and a notification system, all of which are connected via Bluetooth 4.0 to your smartphone using its proprietary Biofeedback health & sport app. The asking price for the Sequent smart watch stands at $149 apiece, which makes it highly affordable but bear in mind that it does not have the kind of apps ecosystem that Android Wear and WatchOS have.
