Some Hoverboards have a top speed of almost 12 miles per hour, which is quite fast. So when getting up to higher speeds, sometimes you may find your scooter is almost too responsive, to the point of making riding at high speeds dangerous.
Some people may actually prefer a very "touchy" or responsive board. Other's however find that that ultra sensitity can sometimes make even the slightest lean or even motion of your two send the board into a wild spin and cash if going at very high speeds.
I just stumbled upon this Youtube video today and although it's in a different language than English, there are subtitles. Essentially by wrapping a piece of bike intertube around the center of the board and putting a couple loops of duck tape or electrical tape you can taper off the sensitivity of your board and in turn make it a bit less responsive and easier to ride at high speeds.
Check the video out for yourself. I'm going to test this out on one of my boards and see how I like it. I'll try to make a how to video as well as a riding video and comment how it feels.
