In general, you shouldn’t ride hoverboards in wet conditions or on rough surfaces where there may be debris. This can damage your hoverboard which is why it’s also important to keep your hoverboard clean. You also shouldn’t use them on incredibly steep surfaces, as they generally lack the power to handle significant inclines.
Most hoverboards aren’t built to withstand any kind of jumping, so we recommend avoiding jumps with your hoverboard. It’s also important to learn how to fix your self-balancing scooter in the event something does break.
Ultimately, the best way to get good at riding your hoverboard is with lots of practice!
There are many ways you can customize your hoverboard. Things like custom paint jobs and stickers are the easiest modifications to make. However, if you’re feeling adventurous and have the appropriate tools and skillset, you can also swap out LED lights for different colors or install Bluetooth speakers on your self-balancing scooter.
