Have you ever see people riding a hoverboard and drifting on the ground? And it seems that the board is linked with his feet, just like a part of his body. It’s so cool, isn't it?
Hoverboard technology has made great progress in the last few years and more and more people are showing his/her interest in it. Yet, do you really know the working principle of electric hoverboard? How many types of hoverboard are there on the market? What should you consider if you want to buy electric hoverboard? Now, we will make you clear about all these questions in three parts.
The hoverboard definition (a hoverboard can also be called self-balancing scooter or self-balancing board) can be described as a self-balancing personal transporter that consists of one/two motorized wheel(s) and a pair of sensor pads on which you place your feet. By leaning forward or backward, you can accelerate the speed or decelerate it. If you want to change the direction, just twist the pads on the board. We will explain more about how it works in the second part.
Usually, there are two main different types of hoverboard - the two-wheeled hoverboard and the one-wheeled skate hoverboard. Although the two concepts are very similar, they are controlled in different ways - mainly through a grip for control.
The board consists of two parts with a wheel on each side, connected by a “hinge” in the center, which allows them to rotate independently of each other. With this in mind, the rider only has to step on the pressure-sensitive “board” and lean forward to go back and forth to go back, and if he/she wants to change the direction, all he/she has to do is push one foot forward. Pushing the left foot forward will cause the left wheel to go faster and turn the board to the right, and vice versa. Although it may sound confusing when explained, it took a few minutes to get used to the system and gain a great deal of control over the positioning and movement. Inmotion hoverboard D2 is such type of hoverboard.
The second type is the mono-wheel. Instead of having wheels on the outside of the board, this kind of electric hoverboard has a large wheel (or two, depending on the model) in the middle with pressure sensitive pads on each side for the user to stand properly. Unlike the two-wheeled model, turning from left to right with the hoverboard is a bit more complicated. Any drastic change in direction when motionless must come from the swiveling of your hips using your body weight - a far less practical way of riding, in my opinion, but it has its benefits that you will discover soon.
Now you understand hoverboard definition, how it works and types of electric hoverboard, you may want to know what things should be considered when you buy hoverboard with wheels. Here we suggest you to consider the following 5 essential points:
Battery: We all became slaves to the all-powerful battery. How long can you use the hoverboard before needing to recharge the battery? Also, how long do you have to wait for the battery to recharge?
Weight and weight supported: Weight is an important element to consider, both the weight of the hoverboard and the rider. As a general rule, standard hoverboards have a weight limit of around 100KG.
Speed: How fast does the hoverboard roll? What is top speed? Is there a “learning mode”? What happens when the hoverboard reaches its top speed?
Range: How far does the manufacturer say you can theoretically go? Is this a reasonable estimate or have they simply inflated the number for marketing reasons?
Price: Probably the most important thing to consider, how much would it cost to buy one wheel hoverboard or two wheeled hoverboard? Are there several places where you can buy? Are there discounts available? Are there sellers who offer cheap hoverboards?
Whether you’d like to buy hover saktaboard or two wheel smart self-balancing scooter, consider all of the above before take it. If the answers of these considerations can meet your requirement, you may get a satisfied hoverboard that fits you best.
