Inventors have a quality that no one else seems to have, the ability to look at the current devices and see what’s missing.
The zeen team has thought of everything, including us one-handed folks. Yes,the Zeen can be controlled by one hand . Just make sure that you choose the one hand control option, and you will be able to enjoy your Zeen, sitting, standing, walking,and even coasting .
