maybe soon I know as I am getting old and probably need one of those...
The hoverboards ban is because many of the cheaper models have been shown to suddenly burst into flames - probably not what you want on an airplane. Rather than make a check in agent or gate agent have to figure out if that exact model is safe or not (and it is hard to tell), most airlines have completely banned them.
