[Walmart] Hoverboard -No Fall/Fires Technology $199

Image

UL Listed so these do not nullify your home/fire insurance. The battery problems from the past have been fixed along with the falling and breaking your limbs issue. Self balancing now. Since walmart doesnt inflate prices for a sale, this looks like a great deal!
Update: user rittoz found it $30 cheaper in the BestBuy marketplace:

Dont forget to pick up the discounted go kart kit with suspension, so you can sit down too. This beats the Tesla Cybertruck to market, a budget-minded option. This makes it more stable for the older ppl :) Maybe use it like an easy to transport E-bike? 164lbs weight limit. 12km/h max speed. 2-4 hr charging. 9km max range. Max 90mins drive time.

There are more colors available for the same price, and some with bigger tires but with less of a discount. Just scroll down on the walmart page and you will see a bunch. I have always wanted one of these but Walmart wont let you shop with them last time I checked. Shopping on concrete floors in huge stores would be the best use for me but since we cannot do that, I am not sure what you can do with these as an adult.

Much more fun than a wheelchair for the grandparents. Here is a demo, with small kids:

Products that are not UL/CSA listen can nullify your home insurance if they burn down your house. Hoverboards used to have exploding batteries and were not certified. These ones are safe now.

This isnt shipped by walmart(therefore no returns to walmart), just another shopify vendor.

EDIT: Actually it looks like items under $150 you can return to walmart.

Can you show me one instance in Canada where this has occurred? Not doubting this fully, but I work in the industry and have never ever heard of this..

Since you work in the industry then you have read a full home insurance document? Here is a blurp I found from a quick search, I do not work in the industry so this is a case of the tail wagging the dog isn't it? Anyways, it sounds worse than I imagined, if your unlisted device injures someone.
UL Listed vs UL Compliant vs Untested Products
...
Your insurance company will also require you to use NRTL-certified products, otherwise your policy may be voided and in case of а harmful event or injury, your business will face the consequences on its own.

Please, for the sake of your and your employees safety, only use NRTL-certified equipment - especially electrical and power distribution devices. Check with your insurance company and make sure you're completely covered.

Also, here is a news story of a house that burnt down from one.

You've quoted a us website that talks about business insurance, not residential. There are very specific reasons why a company can deny your homeowners insurance claim, using an unlisted device in your home doesn't seem to be very common, at least in the policies I've read.
