The maker of the Hover-1 Superfly Hoverboard is urging owners to stop using the 2020 model of the device, saying it can keep moving even when its operator wants the hoverboard to remain still. DGL Group, the maker, has issued a safety recall for about 93,000 hoverboards, the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Thursday.
A software problem can allow the self-balancing board's electric system to keep sending power to the motor, "causing continued momentum, when the rider is not actively controlling the hoverboard, posing fall and injury hazards," according to the recall notice.
