The self-balancing scooter and hoverboard market is expected to expand, expanding at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period 2020–2026.
A self-balancing scooter, also called a hoverboard, is a one or two wheeled powered vehicle that balances both rider and itself on the basis of the driver’s leaning action. The in-built sensors measure the rate and pitching angle and send signals to the motor to drive accordingly, thus balancing the scooter. These scooters contain lithium-ion-batteries and can be fully charged within three hours. They can easily cover distance up to 10–15 km with one full charge. The device has three 6.5 inches (170 mm), 8 inches (200 mm), 10 inches (250 mm) diameter wheel variants connected to a self-balancing control mechanism using built-in gyroscopic and a sensor pad.
