Shane Chen, the creative genius behind the hoverboard, introduces ‘SHANE’, a revolutionary two-wheeled electric car concept in a world of evolving mobility solutions. Inventist, the company behind the vehicle, claims to be the first of its kind designed for urban and highway driving.
SHANE’s design is nothing short of unique; it’s reminiscent of an oversized remote-controlled car or a futuristic hovercraft on wheels. It replaces the traditional four-wheel setup with two large wheels and uses smart sensors and motors for direction control.

While specific technical details like motor power, battery capacity, range, and top speed remain undisclosed, SHANE boasts wheels that dynamically adjust to maintain stability, ensuring safety even at high speeds.
This innovative approach draws from the previous hoverboard, and now, this new version can stabilize itself without any required effort from its passengers. It employs a shifting center of gravity that offers balance and a level ride. It also has a two-wheel differential speed control to aid in parking.

Its large wheels and regenerative shocks contribute to energy efficiency and aid in recharging the battery by recovering damping energy.
The overarching goal of SHANE is to redefine urban and highway transportation by offering a practical and stable two-wheeled car concept. It envisions high-speed travel without compromising energy efficiency, marking a significant step forward in personal mobility solutions.
However, how soon the SHANE will be ready to hit the road is not yet known. The company is currently looking for partners to license the vehicle.
