these are all the same...companies buy them wholesale and just change wheels and color. you can be spending 1500 on one that you can get for 300 with the same specs

Ok it’s ok to buy under 300 it’s just if you go super fast it will start fire go average and my friend had one that was 700 and that catched fire 2 so it don’t matter the price

It's more of a toy ( cool gadget ) Even though people do ride it around the city and stuff. I can't say most people buy it for personal transportation.
what about powerboard by hoverboard? it has a one year warranty and cost around 600 but I've watch a few videos on segways and non of them have included powerboard
Someone please reply to me, I went to a shopping centre yesterday and I saw a shop sell them for £150 and I'm not sure I should buy it since the price is very suspicious...
Why do people call these things hoverboards? Where is the hover in these hover boards? It is held up and moves with 2 wheels. Hover means float, not balancing on 2 wheels. It's a hands-free Segway. It's like the world wants to pretend they have an actual hoverboards. I'll just call my Scion a Ferrari if we can just call things something they're not.
+RKFCGSBGK Then you should call it hoverrider if the rider were to actually hover. My shoes separate me from touching the ground so I guess that I am hovering all the time.
OMG FR THIS HAS BEEN PISSING ME OFF SO BADLY. ITS NOT A FRICKIN HOVERBOARD IT DOESN'T HOVER. gonna take some time till people have those in there houses 😂
what about the Bluetooth hoverboards. I recently purchased a chrome bluetooth hoverboard which is coming in in 2 days. I need to know if that is gonna catch on fire. its about 370 dollars.
+Researcher actually if u read discretion: "self-balancing boards" or like in Wiki: "A self-balancing two-wheeled board, commonly referred to as a hoverboard" but, ye Hoverboard actually should FLY ....

The one I'm getting is 290 is this ok?? I want it to be perfectly fine but some comments disprove of price has to do with faulty machinery probs. I don't have money so this is this the best I can do really.
so the advise is to buy the expensive ones ? I'm not saying them all are identical, but I didn't unmount them, and so did CNET. For what I see, it's the same product rebranded
Fortunate enough to recive this as an early Christmas/bday gift from the fam and it works great. I got the "swEgway" ones (why. why that name idk.) but so far so good. I think they got it for about 500 more or less and took me a day to start speeding, spinning on it & whatnot.
how about in aus melbourne? JB-HI-FI $800 (ik not worth it but planning on getting it) will those $800 swegways catch on fire because im freaked out of watching some kid that his swegway burned his house down.... please reply i need to know by tomorrow
I want one, but don't want it to catch fire. I willing to spend up to 250$ I saw one on amazon it was swaggering T5 UL 2272 certified hover board electric self balancing scooter in black Idc really about speed. But is this good one to buy and more importantly will it catch fire? Would like to know before cyber Monday thx!!!!
Please reply. When i went to amazon i saw a lot of hoverboards that are about 30 dollars and there actually swagways I dont know if its fake or not Im so confused you gotta help me on this one
I have purchased three hoverboards, one swagway and two no name brands. We ride them all the time but we are careful not to overcharge and keep an eye on them when they charge. Have not had a single issue out of them except concerns about how scratched up they can get. When you open up these hoverboards, inside they all look the same for the most part and that's because regardless of brand the same manufacturers are making them, the only difference is build specifications. Think about how different brands of cereal and dog food is manufactured all in one building. Same thing is happening here. I think what happened is some people burned out their hoverboards treating it like a cellphone and ended up encouraging some to fuel the hysteria by setting their boards on fire on purpose.
Ok so I just got a hover board for Christmas today.. And my parents got it on amazon.. Called hovertrax from Razor. Is that the one that is under 300$. I don't want to be rude by asking my parents how much money it was
I Have a swagway and my parents said it has a battery that's almost impossible to make explode but are the right? They said they made sure the battery is safe but I'm still scared. And I know its a swagway because I says it right on the front.
+DeEpicMsModoh YT I recommend leaving it for only 2 hours, but again it depends on your scooter. Another reason for these scooters to be exploding is becuase some have taken upon themselves to do tricks, which can damage the battery and also cause it to explode. As long as you take care of it and follow the owners manual then most likely it won't explode. so you should be fine. Another tip would be to avoid the battery from completely dying.
I pick them up for free when people throw them out. The batteries are tiny, but I take the motors out and build 4x4 skateboards. Definitely check the cells before using the sketchy ones. I only buy the custom batteries that show the build process so we know what's in it before it's wrapped in blue. I sometimes ride between 28-45kph
If hoverboards are your thing then check out this REAL hoverboard: th-cam.com/video/SZqZSYGLk3Y/w-d-xo.html
Ya thx for telling us
I can only afford $130
you don't need to avoid the ones under 300. The only reason some are catching fire is a faulty fuse. Not because of the price.
Well there are ones that are under $100, and those are unbranded and shipped from overseas. They warn That those are the ones that will be a safety hazard.
Are u sure because I got mine for under 300 is it going to explode!

2. REMEMBER BE CAREFUL WHEN RIDING (it is ur "baby" so b careful)
3.MAKE SURE ITS A LG,SONY,SAMSUNG battery. (every battery contains lythium!)

no hahahahaha

What about the imoto brand? My dad bought it for 400, according to him it was on sale. I checked the brand and the original price is 650
Best way to buy a hoverboard that doesnt blow up is to not buy one at all
