When will the best Cyber Monday hoverboard deals start in 2021?

While Cyber Monday begins on takes place on November 29, it's highly likely we'll see hoverboard deals go up before the day begins. It's a busy period for sales of all kinds, with Black Friday taking place just a few days earlier, where there's bound to be even more hoverboard deals to peruse.

Last year, we saw deals on all kinds of products from a variety of retailers go live as early as October. This is because retailers adopted a more spread-out approach to the sales period largely due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This let shoppers buy online from the safety of their homes across a longer period.

We expect this to be the case for Cyber Monday hoverboard deals in 2021. As we're not quite out of the woods yet when it comes to the pandemic, it's likely we'll experience a similar vibe from this year's Cyber Monday offerings.
