Kanyon71 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 My son wants a hooverboard this year. I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to what to look for. Also what to stay away from.Hoverboard? I thought that they banned the import of all of them here now? Exploding batteries and such. I could very well be wrong. I know Segway just released a new one but they were pretty expensive from what I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pnambic Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Tough question. I understand the ones that were catching fire were the cheap ones made in China where they used inferior charge controllers. Trouble is, they generally don't tell you on the box whether they used crappy components or not. Your best bet is to stick with a known brand name and look for product reviews at places like Amazon and NewEgg.Obviously, Segway has a stellar reputation and hard earned I'm sure. But that's likely because they use high-quality components and do lots of quality testing which raises the cost considerably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelbabymommy Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I purchased one for my daughter last year from HSN. I was able to get it on easy pay plan too and they shipped it right away. QVC has the same option also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy4Matt Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Razor is selling one this year that in my opinion is safe. I have never had a problem with any of their products...and it seems to be trusted and well known brand. As for the price on it...let's hope it comes down. My son also asked for it. https://www.razor.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TQ27 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 You want to make sure you ask if it has an authentic Samsung battery as well as Built by a US certified manufacturer . I have refurbished over 20 of them and swapped out batteries . I have also repaired several and none have had a problem. It's all about the battery and wired being properly coated/covered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
