Hoverboard or a self-balancing scooter made its comeback in Las Vegas after a series of failure and recall for the strange wheeled personal transport device. The latest hoverboard was first made their appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. 

According to Channel News Asia, the founder of the Hoverboard technologies Robert Bigler officially announced in public that it would be the future of personal urban mobility. He also said that it was going to be like a bicycle and It was so much like surfing on land.

Not less than year ago, it was remembered that the US International Trade Commission has issued a ban on the import of hoverboard due to its issue of the sudden explosion. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission found all hoverboard that it was not safe to use. 

According to Phys org, the single wheeled hoverboard will have a range of about 10 miles or 16 kilometers and a maximum speed of 16 miles or 25 kilometers per hour. Founder Robert Bigler announced that the sale will go on March with the cost of 1,500 US$.

The single wheeled hoverboard may be too expensive than the old version, but it has higher quality components. But it seems like they need to do a lot of effort to convince and put the trust back into the consumers to buy their product. 

Meanwhile, this latest hoverboard may be difficult to master because of its single wheel but it is more advantage than the two small wheels hoverboard because it has a slim posture and allows the ride to navigate easily. The single wheel hoverboard offers more light for better visibility with the riders.

Hoverboard was first described by author M. K. Joseph in 1967 and popularized by "Back to the future" film. It was generally resembling as a skateboard without wheels.
