Hoverboards are only suitable for children to a limited extent. Body control, responsibility and a sense of balance are prerequisites that the child should meet. Use for children should therefore only be allowed from the age of 10. Parents have to decide for themselves whether their child should be allowed to operate a hoverboard.
Hoverboards with wheel sizes of 4,5 inches (approx. 11 cm) and less are intended for children.
Using a hoverboard
Tip: Protective clothing with a bicycle helmet, good shoes, protectors for knees and elbows
Hold on to a wall or railing and step onto the hoverboard, then turn on the hoverboard. If available, turn on the self-balance function and balance your balance until you appear to be standing safely. Then dare to drive for the first time and shift your weight slightly forward. You can brake by shifting your weight backwards, further and you go backwards. For left and right turns, put your weight on your left or right foot.
