It wasnât battery tolerance, but rather defective lipo batteries made in China. Some of the rides burst into flames just sitting there rather than while being operated. This is an issue in the RC hobby world as well.
Even without the battery issues, if you watch YouTube, pretty stupid idea all around. Unless you are the doctors putting the people getting hurt by them back together. Seems the largest issue, of many other balance issues, is the dismount.
I thought that was a bar in the background there for a secondâŚ..Can you imagine a bunch of people leaving the bar and hopping on those things? Yeeeeeeeee Ha!
One yearâs flop is another decadeâs collectible. Take the 1958 Ford Edsel, for example. Voted one of the worst cars of all times. Hemming Motors recently sold an Edsel convertible for around $30,000. !
For three years the Chevrolet Vega was Motor Trendâs small car of the year. In 1973 I bought my only new car (a Vega). Soon after, the aluminum engines in the first Vegas started failing. I have NOT bought a new car since.Actually for me, outside of the engine, the car was GREAT! It drove and handled well. It did a number of trips between Denver and San Diego in all types of weather before the engine went.
Larry Niven used it a long time ago in his tales of the Kzinti wars. His premise was that any battery powerful enough to operate a deadly weapon, would itself be an explosive if abused.
Hmm, I took Corvairs ROAD RACING on tracks, and beat Porshes with my â65, the 61 didnât have enough horsepower. You just had to know, like Porsches, how to drive a rear engined car. The only truth in Naderâs book was that Chevrolet built Corvairs, all the âengineeringâ he reported was junk, and btw: Nader never had a driverâs license and never drove a car, last I heard, he still hadnât. Never trusted anything he said because of that. With the Florica debacle, he did cost Gore the election, along with that SCOTUS appointing Bush.
Which, the Edsel was also a pretty good car, but there really wasnât the right price gap between Mercury and Lincoln, to sell enough of them. The transmission buttons in the steering wheel were tech ahead of itâs time.
strictures: thought someone would get the reference sooner, guess weâre just the old fart brigade?

Not sure that Hula Hoops or my Wabble Board made any use of batteries. So Iâm not sure where the batteries come into to this subject.

I bet you would never see that happen to REAL hover boards that hover. Those things were a big mistake from day 1.

Now I feel that I am being discriminated against by a sign.

I donât get the reference to hula hoops, theyâve been around since 1958, still selling in toy stores to this day and AFAIK have never blown up.
KEA almost 9 years ago
hate to mention this, but hula-hoops are still around.âcourse they donât cost 59¢ any more.

I was mystified when marketers called this partial Segway a âhoverâ board. It doesnât hover, it rolls on wheels. Stupid.
