Also to know is, what do I do if my hoverboard gets wet?
If your wet hoverboard has seeped into the motherboard, carefully remove it and unplug it and put it in a bowl of rice for 12-24 hours. Same goes for your co-boards (i.e. sensor boards, gyroscopes) and your battery.
Furthermore, can you take hoverboards outside? Yes, Hoverboards are fine outdoors and even on difficult terrains like gravel, grass or dirt, although these “extreme terrains†are more suited to a special “off-road†hoverboard.
Additionally, is hoverboard waterproof?
The answer is no, not really – if you see a scooter rated as IP54 water resistant it's NOT waterproof. Although your hoverboard will survive splashes or sprays of water, it's best that you don't use them in wet conditions and keep them away from water as much as possible.
Is it common for hoverboards to explode?
Nearly all hoverboards use lithium-ion batteries because they are small, but store a lot of power. Unfortunately, they are also prone to overheating and explosions. If they explode, that's bad news. A self-balancing scooter fire can destroy an entire house.
