Um…perhaps you have not realized who your clientele is Meh. The 220lb weight limit is very limiting. This could be fun but alas I will never know the enjoyment of 8” all terrain wheels because my size exceeds the proscribed limit as I would guess it does for many of your customers.
Talk about late to the party. This fad was pretty much dead by early 2017. No wonder these are on Meh at 67% off their original price just four months after launch.
@stuartpb I’m just guessing here, but it probably has pressure sensors at the front and rear of each foot pad that can detect how hard you are pressing on your toes or heel. So you would control it basically the same way as the split-board designs, leaning your feet forward and back, but your feet would just stay stationary.
Given the max cap of 220 pounds and the number of mehtizens that bitch when there’s no 3X t-shirts it will be interesting to see how many actually sell.
@Kerig3 When these things first came out it was the Wild West. Angry parents returning them because their kid got skinned knees and such. Never had a fire luckily.
I’m just going to throw myself down the stairs and use the money I saved by not buying this thing to make a down payment on the resulting medical bills.
God dammit, meh. I have two of the 99 dollar ones, which thing 1 and 2 love. They would go ape-shit over these. But, my oldest was mad she didn’t get one, so if I get one, I’d have to buy 3 or there would be blood. Bastards.
@medz
I sold the 99 dollar ones at work and bought 3 of these. These look more stable with the larger wheels and the app to tweak the driving. It was nice to start with the $99 ones though. I guess I got lucky and got 2 that worked. Kids are stoked. It may as well be Christmas all over again.
So… in about 2000 I learned that you could rent the hot new Prius hybrid from Toyota dealers. I called up and asked “Do you have the PRYus available to rent?” After a few confused moments, the clerk asked “uh do you mean a PREEus?” I laughed and said, “Sounds like penis? That can’t be the right way to say it.” Sadly in the end I was wrong and that was the way it’s said.
@laidbackoh
Had to register for the warranty, send the DOA one back via fed ex (their dime), 2 days after they got it and determined that we didn’t do anything to cause it, they shipped out a new one. Now, the one they sent was black, not blue, so the 2 kids w/ black hover boards will have trouble knowing whose is whose, but all in all, it could have been worse.
@winkywooster I had some trouble getting it to connect to Android, turned phone off, got ready to start app, started board, started app, worked randomly. Mine keeps flashing red and shaking the house when I ride.
Sorry some folks got them without chargers and a DOA unit or two, but mine is AWESOME! I’m actually blown away at the quality compared to other Hoverboards you get in the same $200’ish price range. So far, it’s easy as hell to ride, the iOS app does a respectable job at allowing you to customize the board, and it hasn’t caught fire or knocked my teeth out… YAY!!!

well, can’t possibly blame you for that, meh, but I can’t buy this. meh.
@boygenius1991 You could buy multiples and then do what the last photo suggests.
@cengland0 That picture is just silly – where would an elephant get $600 +, incl. shipping and tax?
Especially, now that they’ve been laid off from the circus.
@phendrick Thankfully.
@phendrick do you live in TX or something? I don’t think I pay tax here.
@stilesja Yes (inclusive “or”)
As the bumper sticker says, I wasn’t born here, but I got here as fast as I could.
“I don’t think I pay tax here.” Shh, you probably should, on your own, and they are listening.
When are we going to get the hasbro ones in? It’s three years past 2015 already.
The perfect device I would need if I was trying to kill myself.
Feel the burn…battery burn lol
@Stallion speaking of batteries…can I keep it in the refrigerator?
@wmbarr I think that’s a question for @shahnm.
Also are you going to followup in your thread?
@Stallion It (apparently) uses LiFePO batteries, which aren’t as explody and burny.
@wmbarr natch!
@Stallion I think the question is why didn’t they bundle it with a fire extinguisher and sell it tomorrow.
Having seen the hilarious YouTube crashes for these has convinced this would be a bad idea - a very bad idea.
No
Still not a hoverboard.
Still clicking Meh.
@JT954 Amen. I’m afraid to think of what they’d try to pass off as an anti-gravity machine.
@jnanas https://imgur.com/a/jclJC
@jnanas Probably something like this?
Big, awkward and impractical. Yeah, that’ll sell.

@bleedmichigan Carry a few helium balloons along for the ride?
Unfortunately, I am still too old and brittle for one of these. If I had health insurance, I would consider it.
@ruouttaurmind Still? When are you planning to get younger, and when were you planning to tell the rest of us geezers your secret?
@rockblossom I am blessed with the optimism of youth, cursed with the ravages of time.
@ruouttaurmind Score one for Canada.
This would make me a Very Mehssed-up Person…
Well, on the positive side, it does have Bluetooth speakers built in.
@cengland0
Needs more fidget spinners
@spugeddyos Honestly, what doesn’t need more spinners?
FINALLY A HOVERBOARD WITH BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS!
oh and just for good measure here is some hovey:
Hah! These things just launched last September at an asking price of $549.

Talk about late to the party. This fad was pretty much dead by early 2017. No wonder these are on Meh at 67% off their original price just four months after launch.
Not $99, so I’m out. I was really looking forward to riding one while playing with my fidget spinner.
@awk with sunglasses on? in a male romper?
Wait, how does this work without having a hinge in the middle?
@stuartpb I’m just guessing here, but it probably has pressure sensors at the front and rear of each foot pad that can detect how hard you are pressing on your toes or heel.

Mozzer Hoverboard?1
Given the max cap of 220 pounds and the number of mehtizens that bitch when there’s no 3X t-shirts it will be interesting to see how many actually sell.
@Pufferfishy 5 in the first half hour — so far.
I just figured out how to post an inline image. Huzzah.
@sparkle_motion Next up:
The “edit” button!
@sparkle_motion As the flames rose to her Roman nose and her hoverboard started to melt. Now I know how Joan of Arc felt.
I do not need three. Can I buy one for $65?
I hate this new Meh, with brand new items. They start selling wine and all of a sudden start selling all new stuff.
If this was refurbished, like all Meh electronics use to be, there would be a chance I would consider buying it.
elephant included?
…ALEXA NOOOOOOOOOO… orders elephant
@chr It’s cool they just eat peanuts, peanuts are cheap.
No overnight air express delivery. I’m out.
/giphy broken-bones
The reviews on so-called “hoverboards” have been in for a while now, and only the doctors win.
@Kerig3 When these things first came out it was the Wild West. Angry parents returning them because their kid got skinned knees and such. Never had a fire luckily.
Sorry but how old does your warehouse think I am?
Blah blah doesn’t really hover.
blah blah exploding batteries?
Blah blah “You bozo! Those boards don’t work on water!”
“Unless you got power!!”
The drug dealers around these parts of Baltimore love these. With speakers they will be the king of hood… :-\
Man, I need one of these to go with my LED fidget spinner
@woodhouse Spinner… as in… one single spinner? Blasphemy
@woodhouse and track suit?
@troy I’ll take any extras you have
There is a giveaway on amazon right now for a mozzie scooter:
https://smile.amazon.com/ga/p/459d642326d1864c
@medz Linky no worky
@troy Still?
You had me at Bluetooth. It’d be even better if there was a ‘hoverdock’ for this gizmo.
I’m just going to throw myself down the stairs and use the money I saved by not buying this thing to make a down payment on the resulting medical bills.
@wootmania Everyone needs a hobby. But there are probably better options.
Step one: pay insurance premium,
Step two: buy hoverboard
…"what could possibly go wrong?"
Thinking of putting that on tombstone.
You are trying to kill us, aren’t you?
God dammit, meh. I have two of the 99 dollar ones, which thing 1 and 2 love. They would go ape-shit over these. But, my oldest was mad she didn’t get one, so if I get one, I’d have to buy 3 or there would be blood. Bastards.
@mtb002 kids are the worst!

@mtb002 Awesome!
2015 called…they Said you can stop riding these now
Are you sure? Googling the model number brings up the Martian watches you were selling yesterday.
So… in about 2000 I learned that you could rent the hot new Prius hybrid from Toyota dealers. I called up and asked “Do you have the PRYus available to rent?” After a few confused moments, the clerk asked “uh do you mean a PREEus?” I laughed and said, “Sounds like penis?

Unless I missed it,what is the charge time for this strange beast!!
JohnH
Mozzie and Mharriet.
I guess you don’t have to worry about fires when it doesn’t come with a friggin charger, anyone else?
@laidbackoh no charger in my box either
@averagedawg I don’t think they sold out of any of the colors, maybe they can ship us new ones, or just the chargers.
No charger in my package…
@averagedawg TWSS
All three of mine had chargers, but daughters(blue) was DOA, won’t charge, just flashes orange. Already have email in to CS at Mozzie and here.
@mtb002 What did they do, Meh is telling me to deal with Mozzie, I have no interest in repairing a new item.
@mtb002 What did they do for you? they are asking me to pay to get my defective product back, ridiculous.
@laidbackoh
Had to register for the warranty, send the DOA one back via fed ex (their dime), 2 days after they got it and determined that we didn’t do anything to cause it, they shipped out a new one. Now, the one they sent was black, not blue, so the 2 kids w/ black hover boards will have trouble knowing whose is whose, but all in all, it could have been worse.
Is anyone able to get the iOS app to connect to the Mozzie? It just spins and no manner of turning the Mozzie off and on is getting it to connect.
@winkywooster I had some trouble getting it to connect to Android, turned phone off, got ready to start app, started board, started app, worked randomly. Mine keeps flashing red and shaking the house when I ride.
