Hoverboards went up in flames last year, but there’s already another gadget riding over their charred remains.

Electric bikes have all the hallmarks of the next hoverboard craze. Celebrities like Sean “Diddy” Combs and Justin Bieber have been spotted riding these devices that reach speeds up to 20 mph.

On the negative side, they are made in China and come with a lithium battery — two factors blamed for hoverboards bursting into flames.

“These bikes are taking off in much the same way that hoverboards did last year,” said Noah Bremen, chief executive of BDirect, a consulting company that helps launch new products.

Los Angeles startup Raytroniks — backed by rapper Ray J — is getting buzz for its Scoot-E-Bike and others are already in the fray.

“Right now most of them are available just online, but they will be in a lot of retailers come fourth quarter,” Bremen said.

He works with DGL Group, an Edison, NJ-based licensing firm that brought the Roam Hoverboard to Bed Bath & Beyond last year. DGL Group already has an electric bike prototype and plans to sell it in retail stores this year, according to Bremen.

Raytroniks is on a tear after opening its first store in LA two months ago.

“What we’ve done that’s different is introduce the bikes to popular culture,” said Raytroniks co-founder Billy Jones.

He’s opening a store in Hoboken this month and has leases in Miami, Washington, DC, and Atlanta.

The foldable, 39-pound Scoot-E-Bike sells for $1,600 and is equipped with a wireless key lock that can also charge a smartphone, as well as a Bluetooth connection. It will travel for 30 miles on a three- to five-hour charge, according to its website.

But Jones is staying clear of New York City, where there is “so much regulation.” Hoverboards are banned, as are most electric bikes, with the exception of hybrid versions used by pedicabs and delivery workers.

Jones insists that the Scoot-E-Bike is not comparable to hoverboards.

“They were a novelty and they weren’t safe,” he said. “Our bike can be used for short commutes.”

Hoverboards were banned on airlines and major public transportation systems after some gadgets with faulty batteries caught fire. Some cities like the Big Apple banned them entirely.

In February, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission found that all hoverboards were unsafe and big retailers like Target and Walmart stopped selling them.

The final nail came from Segway, which makes a similar device and sued rivals for patent infringement. In March, the US International Trade Commission banned all hoverboard-like products from being imported into the US because they violated Segway’s patent.

Given this history, it’ll be hard for new electric bikes to escape the tainted reputation of the hoverboards.

“We’re doing everything we can to make sure this is the safest product,” Ray J told Mashable. He then added, “I wouldn’t suggest that you leave any of these products plugged in overnight, whether it’s the hoverboard or an electric bike.”
