A hoverboard has been proven to be the most versatile transportation device. Invented in 2013 by Shen Chen, hoverboards gained popularity spikes after celebrities like Jamie Foxx, Skrillex, and even Justin Bieber were caught by the media riding those self-balancing scooters.
1. Eco-Friendly
Hoverboards are battery-powered. If your region uses a nuclear reactor to power up your city, then opting for a hoverboard instead of a gas-fueled motorbike is surely the greenest choice you can make to support your government’s eco-friendly policy.
A fully charged hoverboard can travel up to 65 km (over 40 miles). With that range, it is safe to say that you can go to just about anywhere essential within a city, considering how close one building is to another. You will no longer need to ride a motorbike or even a car to go to a place that is no more than 10 miles from you. Besides, your hoverboards can help you to reach stations effortlessly. It will surely encourage you to use public transportation even more than before.
2. Convenient

Foldable electric bikes do exist, but they are notorious for being too cumbersome to unfold and are vulnerable to damage due to the multiple moving parts in them. A hoverboard, on the other hand, is one small machine that can get you to a steep hill easily.
3. Time-Efficient
Do you notice that hoverboards are mostly used in big cities? That is because hoverboards do not need complicated steps to ride. You just hop on it, lean your body forward, and the wheels will take you to your destination. Due to its design, you also won’t be stopped by traffic. Hence, these qualities make a hoverboard the most time-efficient transportation device there is.
4. Fun
The Inventor of hoverboards considers the device a toy. He might not foresee how useful the machine was going to be by the time he designed it, but now, we all can reap both the functionality and fun aspect of hoverboards. Here is a video showing how you can play on a hoverboard just like you can do it on a skateboard:
