Hoverboard Bursts Into Flames at The First Try

We have seen many hoverboards that burst into flames. But most of the videos or photos showing the aftermath of the incidents. This is the first time that we saw a hoverboard got fire while the user was on it, and that happened in a brand new hoverboard. The user claims he charged the hoverboard overnight. And he just wanted to record his first try on this modern device. Happily hoverboard didn’t catch fire at home when it was charged, and he tried it outside.

The user didn’t give any info about the brand. And like he said, ” No wonder they are not allowed on the flights.” but that doesn’t mean all hoverboard will bursts into flames but if you have one you should keep yours always outside. And try not buy cheap ones. Also, you can read one our post about Stanford University Scientist, which they made a film that covers the battery and turn of the power if the batteries start to expand and get hotter.  This technology can be the perfect solution for battery fires and save people from severe injuries.
