Like many new products the hoverboard has come with its own list of problems.

However, The Hoverboard Company did not consider the daily commuters that use the hoverboard to go from point A to B as a means of transportation within large cities such as New York, and large college campuses. As such, the hoverboard has become a less expensive means of transportation for the mid 20-year-old age group.
