Compact people mover

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, September 16, 2015

Sedgeway, move over, you've bee replaced by a less expensive, compact "people mover" called the Swager Board. Here, Ethan Theewis enjoys some afternoon time using the board tooling around the Civil War cannon at the Depot Park. The battery-operated machine weighs only 30 pounds and is easy to carry around or put in your car to take with you. The board is foot pressure sensitive for turns and speed. Josh Culp, owner of Vape N Chill, is a distributor of the Swager and sells them for $499. (Monty Siekerman photo)
