A gyroboard or often called a hoverboard is a self-balancing vehicle for personal transport. Thanks to a sophisticated stability control system, the handlebar controls the device by tilting it. There are two basic types, namely one-wheelers and two-wheelers.

Two-wheeled hoverboard
The main advantage of the two-wheeled hoverboard is the ease of operation, everyone can master this vehicle within a few minutes. The two-wheeled hoverboard is divided into three subtypes:
Standard hoverboard enjoys the highest popularity, characterised by:
- easy portability and low weight (about 12 kg)
- Low profile, suitable for flat surfaces (cycling, offices or halls)
- maximum speed of 10 km / maximum range 8-10 km.
Offroad hoverboard features:
- Higher profile, making it all terrain,
- wheels of large diameter and robust construction,
- maximum speed of about 15 km / h maximum range of up to 20 km.
Premium hoverboard combine the best of the above types. They are designed for experienced and demanding users. The main differences:
- Compared to the standard hoverboards these have a stronger engine and a higher range
- Compared to the off-road equipment, these are much more compact
Unicycles
Unicycles are much harder to use than conventional two-wheelers when used for the first time. The reward after the workout is much a better driving experience. Among other things, the device can be used on the spot. With an integrated suspension, the device is designed for a higher speed.
Segway
The so-called Segway differ from the classic two-wheeled hoverboard. They are based on the same principle, but differ in the following points:
- Have central control rods for better stability even at high speeds
- Have a rugged structure that allows for a higher power and capacity of the battery
- Their terrain permeability is better,
- They are built for everyday use (eg in terms of working routes).
