I still remember the day I first saw my nephew gliding here and there on this amazing ride called a 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 hoverboards, I came across many hoverboards, but there was nothing like Segway Hoverboard.

So when the box and package arrived, it has a picture of how your hoverboard will look, once you attach the knee controller. Also, you need to have the Ninebot app on your phone to ride it initially for 1 km.

Moreover, after you have covered 1 km, it will set the speed to the max so that you can adapt to the changing speed. Also, make sure you wear a helmet and knee pads to avoid any injury. It’s only is suitable for people weighing 100 pounds so that they can keep the balance and push the hoverboard in any direction they want.
It is a device that you can take to parks or any lonely roads so that you can glide at full speed and have a fun-filled day.
