A hover board is a two-wheeled self-balancing scooter which has
become very popular in the past few years. It is also considered as one of the
most popular gifts during the holiday season and is equally popular among kids
and adults. It is popular because it is convenient to use and has no manual
motions like skateboards. Also known as hover board seaway, these self
balancing boards use sensors to detect the direction in which the rider leans,
and then its electric motor spins the wheels to move in that direction. All one
needs to do is shift his weight in the direction he wants to move. You can use
this board to commute to work or just for fun to go to any place you want. If
you are willing to purchase one either for yourself or as a gift for somebody
else, here are a few things you should consider. Wheels have always been an
integral part of skateboarding and yet this is all about to change as the era
of the Hoverboard is ushered in. Remember wheels on the ground cause friction
and that means slower boards. The whole idea of the hoverboard is to reduce
friction and increase speed like a hockey puck on an air-hockey table. When
wheels are involved the boards are slower and will be much less maneuverable
and of course this directly corresponds with a decrease in the fun factor. If
you will recall in the Hollywood Movie "Back to The Future II" there
were no wheels on the hover boards and you can see the increased exhilaration
that the rider experienced. Of course as skateboards turn to hover boards in
the interim skateboards will most likely do some of both; that is to say they
will be more like Hover Board Combos. For a full transition of skateboards to
hover boards we must ditch the wheels, but this will not be as easy as it
sounds. Indeed, we may even see frictionless wheels without bearings which will
really increase the speed and performance of skateboards. Magnetic wheels if
introduced before Hoverboards may lengthen the time to full adoption of
hoverboards by as much as a decade. This
is because something as revolutionary as frictionless wheels will give the
skateboard new life blood to keep the industry sector going with increased
sales, sponsorship and marketing dollars. Any leap-frog technologies will then
need to out perform the new skateboards with magnetic friction-less wheels by
quite a bit to cause consumer migration to those new technologies. Still the
first hoverboards for the skateboard market will most likely have to
incorporate the friction-less wheels if they become available prior to wide
spread hoverboard use. Therefore it appears that although these two
technologies are diametrically opposed and competing, they also can compliment
each other. For instance let's say that magnetic wheels are introduced into the
Skateboard Market in six months; this will cause a new rotation upswing in the
decade long skateboard market sector. Therefore the perfect time to introduce
the new hoverboards of carbon nano-tube construction will be at the top of that
natural product cycle and industry sub-sector top and begin a new product cycle
in an already hyper-invigorated market segment. black
