The latest gadget trend sweeping the US is the two-wheel, self-balancing electric scooter. Now they're reaching our shores and Bargain Hunter has an exclusive discount as well as special competition for one lucky reader to win one of the highly sought-after fun items.

The SmartGlider boasts all the features of similar models seen in the US, and is now available in the UK exclusively from the online retailer LEDHut.co.uk. At 13kg, the portable gadget has a 132W motor which can propel it at up to 10mph. It also charges fully in just two hours and you can travel nine miles on a single charge.

The device uses intuitive, touch-sensitive pads that automatically trigger the motor when stepped on, and you simply lean forward or backwards to make it move. The easy-to-use gizmo is designed to appeal to children and adults alike. It's priced at £349.99 but Bargain Hunter readers can get £20 off until the end of the month by using the code IndGlider at the checkout at www.ledhut.co.uk.

And one lucky Independent reader can win their own SmartGlider by entering our competition. Please send the answer to the following question to yourmoney@independent.co.uk by 31 August to be in with a chance of winning.

The question: In what year in the future did Michael J Fox's character travel to in the second part of the Back to the Future movie trilogy?
