  3. no cause its not causing any harm to anyone its just a self-balancing scooter so i think that they should not ban this product

  4. NO because hover boards are easy and convenient. They make walking long distances easy. although its not very healthy but its fun and creative. I know im getting one and when I do I'll ride it every where I go. I don't think they should ban it its actually a means of transportation

  9. I think it is a great idea to ban hover board's from the street.It is dangerous to be riding on the sidewalk's what if kid's are playing in the neighbor or people are walking and the person riding the hover board loose control???There is not going to be any excuse for that.So I think it was a great idea for them to ban hover board's from the streets.

  10. No, I don't believe that hover boards should be banned. In my opinion hover boards are a futuristic concept that will eventually lead to something bigger. If we stop hover boards now we may not have flying cars ten years from now, I'm all for the future.

  11. In my opinion I think it's stupid to band them. I understand that's it illegal to ride on the main roads, because that it very dangerous but banding them isn't worth it. I think if people are stupid enough to spend hundreds of dollars on them then that's their option. Other than that I really think that it was pointless for them to banned those, because the police are being too closed minded. It's very understandable to not allow people to ride them on the street but the sidewalk is a different story. I really just don't see the point in banning them all around, like I said it's understandable to banned them off the main streets, but off sidewalks and public places is stupid.

  12. im going to say no because i think that everyone should have the right to buy whatever they want to buy. if its not messing with peoples property. its just a fun way of walking

  13. i think it is a great idea for them to ban these "Hover boards" because there "They're too dangerous to be taken on main roads, so that option is off limits" or even if they might hurt someone they should be allowed to use there hover board at there own risk and not just "only use them on private property with permission, which means malls and corporate complexes have to make their own rules" it does not make sense because they bought the items so they should be allowed to use the item at there own risk...

  14. I don't think hoverboards should be banned just because they're considered a vehicles and shouldn't be ridden on sidewalks. That's a bit exaggerated, however, I would understand if a lot of people got hurt over it, but apparently that's not the case. I mean, a vehicle is defined as the movement of people or goods. That counts for bikes, skateboards, etc. So why should hoverboards be banned?

  15. i think it stupid for people for British to banned hover boards like declaring them illegal to ride in public because they're considered vehicles, and vehicles can't be driven on sidewalks but you cant ride them on the main ride like i see this as like the stupidities thing.

  16. Hoover boards should not be banned just because certain people what to get hurt, it's there fault. Before buying a hoover board you should be cautious of what can happen.

  19. it doesn't matter to me, I honestly feel like there's no point in riding one on a public sidewalk other than showing everyone you have one. I don't have one of my own but I know that they are hard to control so if someone was to lose control and get hit by a car then they'd want to sue someone or something worse.. So I'm for the banning of it on public sidewalks because one mistake could hurt them. They called the police closed minded but I think they are the ones who are closed minded.

  20. i think they should of not band the hoover board because they are really cool. and a good way of transportation.

  21. thats really dead. like why would they ban hoverboards isnt that what mall cops use in malls for transpotation. plus hoverboards give people enjoyment. and they give people hope so why would you ban hoverboards. it just isnt right free hoverboard banning

  22. no, i think having a hover-board is fun and convenient. the British are just being over protective now remember there is a 1 in 77.4 chance of dying in a car crash
    if anything they need more car safety laws.

    ReplyDelete
  23. no because it's not harming anyone and it can bring more entertainment to cities like making it into a sport or something.

  24. No hoverboards shouldn't be banned. I don't hear any major news about someone getting killed by one. It especially shouldn't be banned from people who know how to use it either. There isn't really anything dangerous about it unless you fall which isn't the biggest deal.

    ReplyDelete
  25. no because its so fun to ride on. but at the same time it is very dangerous and lazy people has top using there feet. But this is not that dangerous. THe death rate on this thing is 10 to none

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think hover boards should not be banned because i don't see that they're that big of a problem to the community they are a fun thing to use

    ReplyDelete
  27. The fact that they're banned is not right. Its innovative technology that can be improved. Plus I like watching videos of people falling on their faces while using them.

  28. hoverboards shouldnt be banned period, its like the heelie or a skateboard, are those banned,No. Plus it goes like 5 Mph, thats not gonna hurt anyone and going that slow anyone can simply move out the way or the rider can shift their weight to move away from danger. Its a toy thats all it is, it hasnt killed or harmed anyone the british are just being overprotective for no reason.

  29. hoverboards should not be banned .whats going to happened ??? a hoverboard crash?? somebody gone bump each other and they body gone split?? lol get out of here man..

    ReplyDelete
  30. its not harming anyone its for fun when you can't drive you ride aso banning it is just going to start a riot. you don't hear in the news that people are dying and know one is getting hurt to the point of it being banned. so i don't think it should be banned .

    ReplyDelete
  31. yes hover board should be banned. its another way Americans can be lazy. We're goning to get fatter and fatter if this keeps up

    ReplyDelete
  32. I dont believe that these hoverboards are dangerous. I think that them trying to band these scooters would be crazy. They only go about 5 mph, & are just used for fun I dont see them as a hazard or causing danger.

  33. i think it stupid for people for British to banned hover boards like declaring them illegal to ride in public because they're considered vehicles, and vehicles can't be driven on sidewalks but you cant ride them on the main ride like i see this as like the stupidities thing.

  34. Hover boards aren't dangerous no clue why they are being banned. Its like a toy for any age range so let the people enjoy there life.

    ReplyDelete
  35. The most "dangerous" thing about the board is falling which does happen to first time users

    ReplyDelete
  36. There is no point to them being banned, the article says: Its driven on sidewalks and its considered a vehicle, vehicles cant be driven on sidewalks. *faceplam* Really? Is that the best excuse you got? Do you really need to ban them? How about if its considered a 'vehicle' you give it its own license. Make sure the person getting it knows how to use it. You can some sorta hover board license instead of banning them completely. Its a less rushed solution than just banning all of them.

  37. those are for lazy people who dont want to walk absolutely ridiculous

  38. i don't think they should be banned because there not causing any harm to anyone and people should no that you cant ride them in the street that's just common sense alexis bush

  39. i don't think they should be banned. i don't consider them a vehicle considering its literally like a skateboard with two wheels. i can understand why they are banned on the streets for safety reasons but i don't understand why they cant use them on the side walks. they are not going to be used like a vehicle so why are they considered a vehicle?

  41. You can't ban it from the sidewalks cause it's a "vehicle" and then say you can't use it on the street either. I think the ban is pretty stupid, they should at least be able to ride on the sidewalks, the streets I could understand.

    ReplyDelete
  42. They shouldn't be banned. They are like skateboards and all these things. The most dangerous thing about hover boards are stupid people who fall and hurt themselves. Stupid people should be banned.

  46. I feel like they should have banned it because its very lazy to ride those on sidewalks when you have feet

  47. Ok. First off, that does not look like a hoverboard we were all expecting. That not even a hoverboard, that just one of those segway polices use but without a handle. Hoverboard shouldn't have wheelies to begin with. Second off, this is probably dumbest invention yet. Logically, we move forward and ended up falling. Hoverboard are what we use to fly. That hasn't been invested yet, but I'm pretty sure someone in there right mind would create it correctly. Being banned from British is for all I care. I'm pretty sure no one would use it.

  48. i think that people do not need to have one at all they can get really hurt by them.

  49. I mean it's a fun way to get around but it can be dangerous .

  51. hover boards shouldn't be banned. they are a real good thing to have and plus no danger is being done. most people have them indoors so thats not going to be a problem. so they should not be banned because there is no problem of using it.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I think that hover boards shouldn't be banned. I feel strongly about this because British used a dumb example to keep them off the streets. Hover boards is not the same thing as a vehicle that goes at least 100 mph. The hover boards move depending on the way you move your body while vehicles are more dependent on your foot and arms/hands. So they aren't the same thing and shouldn't be used in comparison. Lastly, I feel that a hover board is an object of entertainment and short travel, it shouldn't be taken away.

  53. i think hover boards are a genius invention i say lets run production

    ReplyDelete
  54. The hoverboard is most likely one of the most unique inventions yet. However, It is better for the thing to be illegal not simply because it`s a dumb invention, but more so because it promotes an unhealthy lifestyle, as the product eliminates the need for walking in the first place (which is a very fun exercise) and can be very dangerous. Unlike its even more popularly ill-received parent, the Segway, the hoverboard is a device that does not have a handle, which could lead to deadly complications that could prove fatal. Therefore, the ban on the vehicle is a very good law as it promotes all of the wrong things people would and do not need.

  57. I think Hover boards are a very good investment & they shouldn't be band. They are a very good way for people to get around. They are very expensive but they are worth it.

  58. I think that its right to ban them in some places, but on the private proberty or places where it is allowed is fine. They shouldn't be used around any roads, because there are many people who just can't drive them and will go in directions they don't want to go and probably cause an accident.

  59. I think they should be able to ride on the sidewalks like a skateboard or something

  60. These hover boards were not invented to not be used. The hoverboards are the future and in a while everyone is going to have one.

    Hover boards should not be banned because its not like it is harming anyone. It just a scooter made for fun for people to enjoy and be adventurous with. If they move further with this debate and banned it , that is really ridiculous.

  73. I think hover boards should not be band. This gives people transportation. There really hasn't been any crimes where people are harming the environment or people with hover boards.

  80. I don't think hover boards should be banned that's a little drastic but people do need to not over use them so much. People even ride to the store on those things which I find stupid. They're cool and all but it just doesn't require the extra use. Just ride it for fun.
