if hoverboards were all of a sudden think we would see them on streets or sidewalks any time soon. maybe possibly on bike lanes and in parks, but after hearing from the commissioner this afternoon, i think it's fair to say that hoverboards face a very uncertain future in new york city. >>reporter: in new york city, it's illegal to use a hoverboard or an electric unicycle. but now there's a movement to make them legal. they say it's time for the law to catch up to technology. >> listen, they're not cars, not pickup trucks, not motorcycles. so why are we treating them like such? it doesn't make sense. and that's why we want to make sure that if you can buy them in new york, you can legally use them in new york. >>reporter: but there have been all kinds of problems with the new devices. in lacy new jersey, a hoverboard in lacy caught on fire and badly another in bergen field on sunday ignited a small fire there. and in houston yesterday, a small explosion and fire when someone again tried to charge a broken hoverboard. and so today, when asked about changing the law, the city's top law enforcement officer scoffed at the idea. >> my understanding is the city council is developing a legislative proposal that we will be involved and contributing to. but i think it's one of those things that are out of their minds. we live in an extraordinarily crowded city. we have enough of a hard time walking down the streets let alone hovering. >>reporter: a boy recently fell off one and broke his wrist. we'll have more on that story. for now, dave evans. . good to know how
