That's what they call hoverboards? Aren't those basically handleless segways?
Ah, the sight of cheap Chinese knockoffs.

Aren't they all made in China anyways? Thats were you could get them directly instead of getting them from some scam re-seller that sells them for 5x the price.
Thats not a hoverboard its just a mind controlled scooter

They still rip off each others knock offs quite often and its hilarious.
I remember buying a counterfiet R4 flashcart that was a knock off of a knock off
Nice to see we're eliminating the cancerous vine stars from our great nation.
Annoying as all hell cause I was considering buying the 10" edition, but not sure I want my house burned down..

Just get a proper one that isn't a knock-off and complies to safety standards.
The same goes for phone chargers btw. A woman died because hers brought the charge along the cable up to near live mains level instead of using a proper isolating transformer.

Nobody really knows what their name is, and they're not exactly cheap Chinese knockoffs, because they're ALL cheaply made in china, just some companies decide to badge them and charge higher prices for them. Here is a most excellent explanation of how these "hoverboards" aren't branded and where they came from.
