1. Charge before use

If you use the hoverboard without making a first charge, you can probably damage it. You may think that you do not have to charge your electric hoverboard if it is new, but experts warn that this is necessary, since the battery may be running out since it was packed and sent to the store or your home, so it is imperative to charge before the first ride.
