According to Wang, her daughter became “addicted” to the ride after trying it last month at their home in Qianjiang, Hubei province.
Wang bought the hoverboard for 199 yuan ($29) as a gift to her 5-year-old son.
When Long found it in his pile of toys, she gave it a try, according to Fox 13.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Wang revealed that Long started toddling when she was just 10 months old.
Needless to say, Long’s hoverboarding skills puts her above most toddlers, who are only beginning to gain a sense of balance.
Her unbelievable talent has since spread on YouTube, leaving most users amazed. However, some pointed out the danger of her not wearing a helmet.
Responding to critics, Wang assured that her daughter only rides within their residential complex and that she always has her eyes on her.
