Do you love your hoverboard? They’ve become so popular, you’d think they could actually hover. Well, enjoy them while you can, because everyone seems to be banning them — from the smallest universities to entire countries.
Below, we have a comprehensive list of every place in the world that has explicitly banned hoverboards. We expect this list to grow over the next year, so we’ll continually update it as we see more bans enacted around the world.
