CORNING CHAMBER Congratulations to all Class of 2016 grads By Ryan Nakashima The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Don't look now, but hoverboards are angling for a comeback. Months ago, the powered scooters — which balance themselves but don't actu- ally "hover" — largely van- ished from the U.S. market after they exhibited a dis- tressing tendency to burst into flame. Now, though, Segway and other manu- facturers want consumers to give hoverboards a sec- ond chance. On Wednesday, Segway — which also makes the eponymous upright scooter beloved by mall cops and airport security — will be- gin taking Amazon pre-or- ders for a new hoverboard, the MiniPro. Although the boards won't actually ship until July, it's a significant step, given that Amazon, Walmart and other retail- ers dumped the products months ago after videos of burning hoverboards went viral. The MiniPro and other new scooters have passed new safety standards de- signed to prevent fires. But that doesn't mean they're completely safe — nor that manufacturers like Segway can overcome their enor- mous image problems. Few consumer prod- ucts have zoomed in from nowhere, only to literally crash and burn, as quickly as hoverboards did. Pro- duced by little-known com- panies, the scooters shot to prominence late last year after a host of celebrities from Justin Bieber to Ja- mie Foxx were seen rid- ing on them. Small manu- facturers in China, which can quickly clone popular products, flooded the mar- ket with lookalikes. Then came the fires and embarrassing falls by the likes of Kendall Jenner and Mike Tyson . Florida congressman Carlos Cur- belo tweeted a post-Christ- mas picture of his arm in a sling with the message, "#hoverboard is for kids. My daughter got it. I ended up in @BaptistHealthSF." Since last August, the Consumer Product Safety Commission counts at least 62 hoverboard-related fires and an estimated 7,200 falls that required emer- gency-room visits. It's still investigating 13 hover- board makers, including Chinese companies such as Yooliked and Keenford Ltd. Many municipalities, airports and college cam- puses still ban the gadgets. Turning all that around will be a challenge. Brand consultants point to the in- credibly damaging nature of safety issues: Chipotle is still recovering from a 40 percent drop in sales after federal investigators probed the chain's E. coli outbreak last year. On the other hand, hov- erboards' earlier prob- lems were mostly associ- ated with no-name brands, making it possible for more reputable manufacturers to establish a better safety re- cord, says Laura Ries, an Atlanta-based brand con- sultant. That's what Segway, now a subsidiary of Beijing- based Ninebot , is count- ing on. Its solution starts with safety certification by UL (formerly Underwrit- ers Laboratories), a vener- able Northbrook, Illinois, firm that tests everything from toasters to outlet ex- tenders.
