Craqen Mobility Recalls 12,400 Hoverboard X9 Units — BUT WAIT, There's More!

Folks, are you tired of hoverboards that merely hover? Then have we got a recall for YOU.

Craqen Mobility Inc. has announced a voluntary recall of 12,400 units of its Hoverboard X9 self-balancing scooter. That’s not a typo. That’s a limited-time offer on regret.

These beauties were sold between November 2025 and June 2026 through the company’s website and select retail partners. And what did the low, low price of $1,299 get you? A scooter marketed with the slogan “Physics is a suggestion.” They wrote that down. They printed it. They shipped it.

BUT WAIT. There’s more. Internal testing identified battery thermal events in approximately 0.3% of units under sustained load. Sounds tiny? Sounds manageable? Tell it to the Thirty-seven incidents reported to date — four of which involved minor property damage. No injuries have been reported. At Craqen, peace of mind is the free gift with purchase.

Let’s talk numbers, because these numbers are SPECTACULAR. Craqen reported $16.1 million in X9 revenue in the first quarter of 2026. The recall is expected to cost between $9 million and $14 million. Have you ever seen money move that fast? It practically self-balances.

And if you act right now, we’ll throw in the X10 — postponed indefinitely! That’s right. The sequel is arriving never, and you don’t pay a dime.

Chief Executive Mara Voss said, “We set out to build the fastest hoverboard on the market, and we shipped it before it was ready. That is on me.” Folks, you simply cannot put a price on candor like that. The recall, however, IS priced — between $9 million and $14 million.

Craqen Mobility was founded in 2021 and has raised $86 million in venture funding. EIGHTY-SIX MILLION DOLLARS. Operators are standing by.

Physics, reportedly, remains a suggestion.
