Hoverboards are self driving wheel either controlled automatically or manually which looks more like a skateboard but definitely not one. Hover boards are self-balancing boards we can get on and rally round the surroundings with.
They have been around since the 90’s but were seen as dangerous and unsafe gadgets by most reserved group of persons. These beliefs and doubts haves completely gone off as decades passed and right now hoverboards have come to stay.

These hoverboards don’t levitate but trust me, they are more fun to ride on than skateboards. Technically they are called “self-balancing Scooters” This is because it works and looks like the miniature Segways.
To start riding on this gadget, all you need is – step on the two sensitive footpads and control the directional movements as soon as it starts rolling forward or backwards. These foot-pads is what controls the speed and actions of the hoverboard. The tw0 footpads are highly sensitive to give you control on the speed and steering which is done by your feet.
Balancing on hoverboards can be really tough for starters as soon as it starts moving the moment your feet steps on the footpads. You are going to stumble for sometimes until you get used to it. It is advised that you practice slowly with it until you can make long range movements with them.
