Is anyone selling those Uberboard/Hoverboard/Segway type things?

Noticed on youtube recently a lot people getting these "uberboard" or "hoverboard" things (not 100% what they are called)

Saw in the news today footballers pictured with them

They're pretty cool, id consider buying one but googling it, it seems really hard to know a legitimate place to buy one from

Seems like only public figures have them atm rather than normal folks

Might be a good thing to get into selling now leading up to Christmas perhaps

Yep saw that, looked like an affiliate site to me, registered on 19-Jul-2015

Wouldn't trust them currently

 

What's wrong with walking, using your legs?

Free and good for you.

 

I think they look great to have a go on, maybe hire one to try out on a day out somewhere with the family but if i saw someone zooming around town on one id probably think what a complete plonker they look like lol.

Probably a bit different in cities if there is wealth of people using them, Id see it as one of those things like remote control helicopters or drones that you get brought for Xmas, you think its great fun..........use it a handful of times in the first week or two and then it gets put in the shed of loft.

Im probably just a miserable old git lol

 

i'd say you've spotted a wee gap in the market! Now time to plug it before it goes

Who wants to team up

 

Murray, I think most are packaged as "smart balance wheel" and they are good fun, but dangerous too! They are reasonably good for core strength in your body until the point when it becomes easy to ride, then you just look like a plonker, and incredibly lazy. I do however see these much like drones being the products to have in the next few years.

 

We have 2 of these in the office at work:

The first 3 times are a bit wobbly to get a feel for it, but after that, it's good fun.

 

I wonder if they're liable to being hacked...

I bet Brendan Rogers had kittens when he saw that photo. They look like a lot of fun but a cruciate ligament injury waiting to happen!

 

Good find! quite annoying when a product has various names altho it can also be an advantage i.e unregg'd names!

 

'rollerboard' has a long-standing US trademark, FYI.

 

Just saw something similar on reddit

"Walk Car"

Must be paying the DM for these articles, but it doesn't say sponsored or advert anywhere

"Southampton players unwind with an uberboard after draw at Newcastle... and Harrison Reed is better than Jay Rodriguez!"

that's good, can't say what it was?

I actually saw someone riding one the other night, first time I've seen someone with one in person.

 

Is there just one kind of these boards or do a few companies make them, my son wants one for his birthday. If you have any affiliate links happy to buy through it.
