This is a review of the Segway MiniLITE, which if you're considering a hoverboard, then you should consider this. This review comes from having ridden over 120 miles on this device, so you could say it's a "long-term" use review. Is this a good choice for kids? Yes!

Better than a hoverboard? Indeed. And safer in my opinion.

Is it a good choice for adults? It depends...

If you have specific questions please leave those in the comments section and I"ll try to answer them. Seriously, familiarize yourself with the safety features and abide by them.
