Will Hoverboards Continue To Be Popular In 2016?

Will Hoverboards Still Be Popular In 2016?

Hoverboard Self Balancing Scooters were the hottest Christmas gift of 2015. Though they were the gift of 2015 they didn't really start gaining in popularity until the weeks leading up to Christmas when they were insanely popular and millions upon millions of boards were sold.

Hoverboards In 2016

All  the sudden after Christmas however sales and it seems interest as well died down. Was this a short lived fas or will hoverboards continue to be popular in 2016? only time will tell.

Personally, my opinion is that they will. First off Amazon completely stopped selling Hoverboards recently so that's one less place to buy. Chinese shippers have stopped shipping boards over as too many are being stopped by customs. Also were in the dead of winter in most of the country, you can only ride a hoverboard around your Kitchen island so many times before it gets boring.

It seems sales have already started slightly picking up with everyone getting their tax refund checks. I have a feeling when the weather warms up and people are not only able to ride outside but see others riding outside more people will be running out to get boards.

As far as hoverboards dying out, honestly I think this "two wheel rideable" industry is just taking off. Self Balancing Scooters may die out but the next thing will be one wheel motorcycles or one wheel skateboards. As one device phases out another will take its place.

What do you think? What does the hoverboard industry and hoverboard world look like in 2016?
