Segway miniLITE Hoverboard Review – [October Updated]

I still remember the day I first saw my nephew gliding here and there through this thing called hoverboard. I didn’t know anything about it before that, and when I saw it, I could not resist and wanted to ride it, but then guess what? I fell, but I still did not lose hope and tried until I knew how to ride it. It is all about keeping the balance and putting the pressure in the direction you want to go. When I was learning about hoverboard, I came across many hover boards, but there was nothing like Segway Hoverboard.

What does it like to own Segway hoverboard?

You must be thinking about what’s different about it, so let me tell you that it’s designed by keeping in view the safety of the rider and its effects on the environment.

What comes in the box?

So make sure you do not pull over and get used to the brake thing.
