Hover Boards

[MonkeyGirl18]

You guys should know about them. Basically handle-less segways......

If there's a problem of the battery causing them to catch fire, why don't they recall them? It's obviously a safety hazard. Recall them, give people their money back or whatever until they can fix the problem.

Students would want to get them to take back to college so that their lazy butts don't have to walk to class, but a lot of universities are banning them because they're safety hazards, fire hazards.

This is stupid.

From I heard, it's the cheap knockoffs that do all the exploding

[Bassy]

The hover boards over all is stupid. Get skates, there is no fire hazards there!

[Maro]

just gotta hope you don't cut your ankles with those things [rollerblades i mean lol]


i just enjoy watching videos of people failing on hoverboards tbh

yeah they should probably do recalls of the knockoff ones then if they are so constant with the explodeyness n such o3o;

[Bassy]

They should recall my life. Haha.

[Mousy]

I heard of so many people buying the knockoffs straight out of people's trunks. Shady business! No thank you.
My students told me they got one, but "oh it's okay! I won't charge it or keep it in my house!" -_-

you can only ship them surface because they are a fire hazard

Which idiot named them hover boards?

A while ago I read that they were illegal in my city because they couldn't be registered with the DMV.

IDK who called them hoverboards, but that's the name of the actual product, hoverboard segway.

Prolly cuz when hoverboards were first "invented", they acted like skateboards, but hovering instead of wheels
I've seen variants of it, too
Some require metal underneath to work, so common areas have a metal gridwork system underground
Some can go anywhere, have their own special thrusters to keep them aloft
Course, both have their own forms of weaknesses

This is how I envision a hoverboard, which exponentially cooler than those self-balancing scooters:

That's what I expected them to be in the first place. These segways don't even hover and doesn't deserve to be called hoverboard segways.

[Kitalpha Hart]

They're scooters without the handlebar
Meh

[Maro]

so basically skateboards that you don't have to propel yourself on? ovo

The Back to the Future movie series had hover boards...is that where they got the idea?
