HOVERBOARD WHEEL SIZE: what tire size do I need?

Hoverboard is a comparatively new item on the market, and, despite of scandal news about hoverboards catch fire, it looks like two wheel balance board opened a new era of transportation.
In this article I would like to talk more about tires sizes, and hope this information will be useful and interesting for those who are thinking about buying a hoverboard.

Like with many modes of transportation, the size of the wheels is important to consider.




6.5-7 inch wheels make a hoverboard smaller and more efficient. While this is fine for smooth surfaces, hoverboard users may find that these smaller wheels will wheel spin when coming off the ground on an uneven surface. When the wheel regains contact with the ground, it’ll jerk forward and cause some users to lose control – especially when riding at high speed. This means that hoverboard users have to ride slowly over uneven surfaces, even at walking pace, to make sure they stay balanced and safe. The use of smaller wheels also means that hoverboards won’t perform well against curbs, or any other kind of slightly elevated surface.


8 inch wheels should provide a slightly higher level of stability than than those using the 6.5-7in wheels, whilst preserving its relatively small and compact form factor. With this being said, if you’re looking for something that could handle off-roading, I would advise the 10 inch variation.


10 inch wheels is visibly larger than its smaller counterparts – almost to the point where it looks out of proportion – but handles off-roading on grassy, uneven surfaces with fewer issues.


Size of tires determines not only surfice, on which you can ride, but also the top speed of a hoverboard. 

Top speed for 6.5-7 inch wheels is 7mph. Despite the slightly larger 8 inch wheels, you'll realistically be cruising at the same speed as 6.5 inch. Bigger 10 inch wheels can get up to a top speed of 10-12 mph.

HOVERBOARD CATCHES FIRE: is it REAL or CREATED danger?

HOVERBOARD CATCHES FIRE: is it REAL or CREATED danger?




The hoverboard was undeniably the breakout gadget of 2015 and remains very popular in the beginning of 2016.

The news has been overrun the past few weeks with stories of hoverboards causing frightening fires and explosions.

Why are hoverboards exploding?
The main reason hoverboards have self-destructed is because of their batteries. Most of hoverboard producers use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for power, and those can be dangerous for two reasons: cheapness and mistreatment.
Li-ion batteries are used in everyday devices such as mobile devices and tablets, but typically the companies making those devices can afford to use higher-quality, more expensive batteries. You won't be able to tell how good the li-ion batteries are in your hoverboard, but it's safe to say that cheaper, "knockoff" hoverboards use mass-produced cells of lower quality to cut costs.
Also hoverboard batteries are typically placed inside the footrest of the device, so they're getting stepped on, kicked, and roughed-up every time you go for a ride. It is obvious that hoverboards are going to be abused more than, say, your laptop, so there's a greater chance its battery could get damaged by rough play, and any damage makes them more susceptible to malfunction or explosion.


In the end of 2015 after one of the most popular hoverboards caught fire and damaged someone's home, Amazon pulled the hoverboard from its website, but it has since been brought back. 

Acoording to CNET, On Tuesday (22-FEB-2016), Amazon.com pulled all its hoverboards from its website, leaving only accessories such as decals and wheels still available. More details here: http://www.cnet.com/news/amazon-hoverboard-fire-risk-sales-no-more/



IS IT RIGHT TO SAY, that HOVERBOARD UNSAFE                                               or even DANGEROUS ITEM?

Hoverboard is a new product on the market, which opened a new era in transport. Can we make rush conclusion on the basis of few examples and claim that all hoverboards are unsafe?


HOVERBOARD vs CAR: is a car safe comparing with hoverboard? Have anyone even count how many car accidents occurs every minute around the world and in US particularly? Not to say about pollution and endless traffic jams, when hoverboard is environmentally friendly item.


We welcome your comments, ideas, critics!

How to ride a hoverboard?

WHO can ride a hoverboard?

- Are there any special requirements, which I should comply with to be able to ride a hoverboard? 

- How to start ride? Is it difficult to keep the balance


Probably these as well as many other similar questions you have in your mind while still considering the purchase of a so popular today hoverboard or self-balance scooter. 

So here we are to answer those questions and show how it is easy to ride a hoverboard and how much fun you will have! 


STEP 1: Charge the battery.

Make sure your hoverboard is fully charged.

Step 2: Get on the hoverboard. 

Turn your hoverboard on and put it in front you (your feet). Put your dominant foot (for most of people it is right foot) on it, and then step with your second foot on it as if it is stairs. 



Your first feeling is more likely will be tense and unbalance. Try to relax, make sure that your weight is distributed equally on both legs.



Step 3: Moving straight.

Lean slightly forward or backward. Relax, do not make tense movements, if you lean too much, you will fall. 



Step 4: Turning around.
Turn the foot that is opposite yo your turning direction, for example, to turn left, push your right toes down harder. 

NOW JUST TRY IT YOURSELF! 

Dont be afraid of falling down, relax and enjoy the ride. Very soon you will feel as if a hoverboard is an extension of your one body! Remember, whatever we do, we are all beginners first, but soon YOU will be an advanced hoverboard rider!

HOVER above the ground!

Feel the speed (up to 12 mph depending on model), catch the wind, hover at a height of about seven centimeters above the ground with your hoverboard (which is also sometimes called a self-balanced scooter or balance wheel). New experience, new emotions, new life! 




NEW type of transportation! 
Amazing in motion, easy and safe to ride, environmental friendly, hoverboard became a part of life for many people and it continues to catch the world! Heading to the office or having fun with friends, ride a hoverboard! 



Take a challenge! 

It might look difficult in the beginning, but once you master riding a hoverboard, it moves seamlessly with you and feels like an extension of yourself. It is faster than walking.
