Yeah, my wife texted me about that. We have two coming for our kids. Gives me cause for concern but im not ready to just eat $600. I'll charge them myself and only when I'm in the room. Ill get an extra fire extinguisher

One guy charged it fine, went outside to use it and it blew up on him. Use cheap lithium ion batteries and it's trouble.

My oldest was asking for one. Until the day there are two or three actual companies selling these (Razor, Amazon, Huffy or whomever) it's a no buy for me.

Guy got it on 3rd party Amazon and not sure if the seller was refunding or what. Guy said he was going to get another one from someone else....

Razor just signed a deal with the creator and is trying to sue everyone else out of business.

Also, "hover".
