hey this is Sam with the verge and this is my first time riding a hoverboard this is the new model from swagway one of the biggest companies that makes of the hood and it is called the swag frog things that are different about this one is in response to a lot of the controversy you hear about Tom avoids being dangerous and catching fire this one has a fire retardant plastic shell and rubber footprints the lithium-ion battery inside is also contained in an aluminium shell basically the design is intended to be a lot safer even in the event of a battery explosion I have never ridden hoverboard before so I can't really compare how easy it is to ride two other models but what I will say is that I I'd fall off things like this all the time every time I try them and I think I'm doing ok with this one I have not really fallen off apart from the last time I tried doing this her stand-up pork and beer and my video editor caught me forming on so more new features in the swag tour and include an app that works over Bluetooth so you can track things like battery life and the speed though I probably wouldn't recommend checking it while you're actually riding the thing also on the under side there are Bluetooth speakers so you can pump out some tunes while riding your hoverboard and there's also a carrying handle on the bottom so even though it's pretty heavy you can lift it up easily I did also get the chance to try out the original swagway hoverboard the matter of comparison and this one because it's still a prototype the software isn't quite finalized so it doesn't feel quite as smooth to write as the original just yet and it's a little bit slower to but I'm assured by swagway that that will be that by design necrotic ships so stay tuned to the Bergeron this week for all the coverage of rideable and hoverboards right out of CES and of course subscribe to us on YouTube at youtube.com slash the bird by
