Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Budget Hoverboards / Self Balance Scooters – Worth Buying in 2016?”.
Did somebody say hoverboard now, whatever you really want to call it hoverboard segway balance car? This is a two-wheeled motorized vehicle and it is pretty awesome. So this particular model, which is floating around a lot in Chinese markets, actually costs one hundred and eighty five pounds which is close to three hundred dollars. If you’re in the US – and this one came from Tom top comm to begin with, I wasn’t very impressed with the packaging. I think, if you’re gifting this to somebody, they would initially be a little bit taken aback. It does seem like a little bit of a cheap novelty item on the face of it actually opening up there.
I was really impressed with the quality. While it is made out of plastic, it is really really heavy and the build quality is actually very, very substantial. So as she’s stepping on this thing for the first time, you’ll be quite taken aback one of the things I found really difficult and one of the things which, whenever you show somebody this item finds tricky, is actually getting started. But don’t let that put you off, because I have to say that once you actually master this, which can take as little as ten minutes you’ll be impressed at what you can achieve. Getting on and getting off are always going to be a little bit harder. But the actual motion is extremely smooth. It feels natural and before you know it you’ll be actually moving faster than you can even run. It’S really really impressive.
Actually getting used to it is definitely going to take some people longer than others. For me, it was about 20 minutes, some people less some people more. It really does depend.
What I’m really happy to say is that it works on a wide variety of terrains, with ease. If that she got a nice level of suspension. So you don’t feel the road too much you can even go up and down hill, so it does have a reasonable amount of power in its motors now, the maximum weight it can hold is 120 kilos so providing you’re not trying to cram two people on there. You shouldn’t have any problems with that and the maximum speed you can reach is 15 kilometres per hour, which, when you think about it, you prevent the perspective is actually quite a high figure. It will feel like you’re literally flying at that speed.
Now you can see that we’ve got two LEDs at the front. Not only do these help to light up what’s in front of you, but they also give you an indication of if you’ve got your foot on the actual pedal properly it’s worth, taking into account that there has supposedly been a bit of a safety risk with these. With the batteries apparently heating up some cases combusting, I am personally had any of these problems, and the battery has actually been very good, lasting about 45 minutes per charge, which is you know, a good amount of right time. Also worth bearing in mind.
Is that this thing is not going to look new for very long you’ll be crashing a lot to begin with, and almost as soon as you crash, the marks will become visible. So while it is pretty resilient, it will start to show, wear and her pretty much on day one. So, whilst before you purchase one, it’s definitely worth taking to account not only the safety concerns, but also the laws in your country, because they’ve actually been banned in a few, I have to say the time I’ve had with this has been really really fruitful. It’S been fun and surprisingly, convenient thanks a lot for watching I’m still his boss, and this is insanely cool back .
