Is Australia on the verge of finding a hoverboard? It certainly seems to be as there have been numerous hoverboards sold here in the States and hoverboards have even been seen in the streets of New York. However, it is not a new trend. Hoverboards have been used by the Japanese for decades and the Japanese were the first to use hoverboards as a mode of transportation. So where is it that hoverboards are going to come from now that Australia is looking to make a name for it?

As with many other new trends there is a wide range of versions of hoverboards to be found. The traditional design is a narrow board that allows the rider's feet to grip the deck to the newer hoverboards have slim panels of glass attached to the board. They are then connected to a battery pack, which is charged via a USB connection. The user releases this charge by stomping down on the throttle, which causes the board to move in a forward direction. Since the user is in charge of how fast the board moves, they can also exercise greater control over the direction in which it moves.

Since hoverboards have become more popular, you can find them being used in numerous skateboarding venues around the world including half-pipes, bowls, ramps and in parks. You can also find them being used in numerous race tracks such as the Olympics, producing a revolution in the sport of indoor roller skating. They are even being designed for children as fun toys for chasing. With so much popularity has it brought with it a new set of technologies that have made it possible for enthusiasts to create hoverboards from a variety of materials.

With the popularity of hoverboards comes the onset of several hoverboard manufacturers who are now attempting to offer quality products at low prices. Since the original price is around $150, these low cost boards have often been difficult to find. However, with the advent of companies who mass manufacture hoverboards the availability of these low cost boards has greatly increased. While the low price is a benefit of purchasing a hoverboard Australia, the real value comes from the durability of the hoverboard.

Since hoverboards have become so popular there have been many different hoverboard decks created. Some of these hoverboards come with wheels, while others are self propelled without wheels. Hoverboards that feature wheels usually come at a lower rate than self propelled hoverboards. Some of the hoverboards that come with wheels also have the option of a hoverboard joystick which allows the rider to be able to make turns on the hoverboard. Many hoverboards come with an array of different power sources. These include battery packs that need to be charged regularly or batteries that have a long life span.

While hoverboards have gained popularity in recent years, they still have some growing up to do. Currently there is not a specific plan for when hoverboards will completely take over the traditional skateboard industry. Many skateboarders are waiting for technology to arrive before they will fully adapt to the new style of boarding. The hoverboard could arrive sooner than most expect but for now consumers should just enjoy being one of the first to experience this revolutionary new technology.
