The Truth about Hoverboards

Hey! My name is Kate, I work in www.hoverboard4all.com,

ride my hoverboard and love what I do!

Today I wanna write about hoverboards: where all this get started, production process, safety & quality issues! 

Few words about 

History of Hoverboards.

First things first, in 2014, hoverboards appeared in China, and by 2015, they became widely popular in the United States, following numerous celebrity appearances with the device. The fast pace of the Chinese manufacturing industry makes it difficult to pinpoint which Chinese company was the first to manufacture the device. The first hoverboard was exhibited and found success at the 2014 Canton Fair trade show, after the fair the product was copied by several Chinese manufacturers.  As of June 2015, the board is made by several knockoff manufacturers in China. The copies vary greatly in price and quality. Most of the boards are produced in mass manufacturing factories in Shenzhen, China.

Manufactures.

Few days ago I also traveled to Shenzhen, China, "the world's factory," to visit the factories, talk to manufactures, compare quality/prices/delivery time. I spoke with many of the people in the hoverboard supply-chain: small factory owners, sales representatives, workers, and exporters/distributors. The devices' increasing popularity in USA and Western countries with the wide array of celebrities (including, but not limited to Justin Bieber, Jamie Foxx, Kendall Jenner, Chris Brown, Soulja Boy and Wiz Khalifa) who have been seen with various models of the product, pushed factories shut down their production lines (no matter what they were producing) and convert them, almost overnight, to hoverboard manufacturing lines. There are more than 1,000 hoverboard factories in South China now, which were opened or retooled in a very short period of time (within one year!).

Introduction.

Our factory is located in Shenzhen. It was founded in 2008 as a manufacture of electronic cigarettes. Having solid experience with battery-powered product helps us to produce safe high quality hoverboards.

The factory owns about 8,000 m² of production area with over 600 employees. The staff turnover is less than 10% - we create good work conditions for our employess.

Monthly production capacity of hoverboards is more than 100,000 sets.

Build in safety features.

For the connections that link the battery to the motor,  we have a kill switch that engages when the battery temperature gets to 60 degrees Celsius, or when the current exceeds a certain level.

Quality control.

The factory tests 100% of batteries and chargers. Batteries are charged and discharged fully before assembling a hoverboard. Since the motors are part of the wheel, they are fully tested after they are fixed to the hoverboard chassis. The final test is when a person rides the hoverboard.

UL Certification.

All our batteries and chargers are UL certified. More about UL Certification of Hoverboards read here: http://hoverboardforlife.blogspot.com/2016/03/ul-certification-of-hoverboards.html
