Popularity of Self-balancing Scooters brings DHgate Increase in GMV

BEIJING, Sept. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- If you're looking for the latest trend in transportation (or just the latest trend in general), you'll find it at DHgate.com. This e-commerce B2B trading platform allows Chinese manufacturers, sellers, and products to reach customers around the world. This includes the recently popular self-balancing scooter.

Electric self-balancing scooters feature a skateboard-like board to stand on, accompanied by two wheels, one on each end of the device. The scooters rely on the rider's body movements to control the direction and speed of the scooter. They use a sensor system to detect direction and a motor to power the scooter. If you want to go faster, simply lean your body forward. If you want to slow down or stop, lean backward.

This new form of transportation has been taking the world by storm. Since May of this year, the sales of self-balancing scooters have peaked as the tech has become a new trend in America, China, and other countries around the world. According to Google Trends, electric self-balancing scooters have reached a new high in Australia, the US, Canada, and the UK. DHgate.com offers the most popular style of the self-balancing scooter, the generic model, for only USD300. In addition to the standard self-balancing scooters, DHgate.com also offers special models with additional functions like LED lights, customized colors, patterns, and more, plus self-balancing electric unicycles as well.
