HOVERBIKE BK2 FOR HOVERBOARDS/SWEGWAYS -BLUE

Product Information

With the exception of some rather oddball models (like Segway’s Ninebot Drift W1 “hoverskates”), most hoverboards look similar from one model to the next, so you won’t generally choose one based on aesthetics. Instead, here are a few criteria you should keep in mind when shopping the best hoverboards. Safety Certifications

We’ll admit it—most hoverboards look like toys. The Segway Ninebot S Electric Transporter, on the other hand, is built for grown-ups. Thanks to the design that includes a central steering column, it looks more like something adults would ride whether commuting to work or heading around the corner for a last-minute bite at the local bodega. Mast uses this hoverboard because of its reliability and easy learning curve. To make it even more fun, it comes in a huge array of color options like orange, sea green, and classic pink. Sisigad even has a “Fun Edition” series that features a variety of busy patterns like graffiti, colorful bubbles, and purple galaxy, and a Chrome series so you can look as flashy as you want as you ride. Hey, even if you’re not shopping for a young rider, we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to tote this playful hoverboard around to ride at parties or festivals. If safety is a concern (and it should be), it’s worth pointing out that Razor was the first US company to receive the UL-2272 safety certification created in the wake of the hoverboard battery fires. Hovertrax includes a training mode that takes it easy on beginning riders, too, making this a great option all-around. And although the Hovertrax 2.0 is more geared towards kids and teens with its 176-pound weight limit, it comes in a deluxe model that can accommodate riders up to 220 pounds. This hoverboard ensures safety in all aspects of its design—from its UL 2272 certification to its LED turn signals. But it’s also incredibly fun to ride thanks to its speedy acceleration courtesy of powerful 400W dual motors. Overall, this is a great hoverboard for riders of all abilities and ages. Top speed: 10 mph | Range: 9 miles | Weight: 22 pounds| Max load: 260 pounds | Wheel size: 6.5 inchesThere are a lot of factors that determine how fast a hoverboard can go. The hoverboard’s wheel size and motor power, to riding terrain and rider weight. These all play a role in your top speed. The average hoverboard has a top speed of around six to eight miles per hour. “All-terrain” styles with bigger tires and larger motors tend to be faster, with top speeds in excess of ten miles per hour. Our Swagboard T6 Outlaw, for example, is one of the fastest on the market with a top speed of thirteen miles per hour. Learn to Walk Before You Run Top speed: 20 mph | Range: 32 miles | Weight: 35 pounds | Max load: 275 pounds | Wheel size: 11.5 inches Hoverboards are easy and fun to use. You literally just lean forward and with a little practice and balance, you’re off. Some are the type to just hop on to any new gadget, throw caution to the wind, and take off like Wile E. Coyote. But the rest of us typically have questions like, “How fast does this thing actually go?” and “How do I control the speed?” The Short Answer: Hoverboard Top Speeds Range From 6-13 Miles Per Hour

Featuring a built-in Bluetooth speaker and LED lights along the hubs, platform and wheel covers, the Sisigad Hoverboard is a child’s dream come true. While it technically supports up to 260 pounds, the smaller 6.5-inch wheels and beginner-friendly mode make it the perfect option for young adults looking to enjoy a hoverboard without the steep learning curve. The average self-balancing board maxes out around six to eight miles per hour. All-terrain boards can hit up to thirteen miles per hour. Those speeds, however, aren’t achievable on all surfaces in all conditions. Hoverboards are generally considered safe, but as with similar modes of transportation such as bikes, scooters or skateboards, you should wear protective gear to prevent unwanted injury. Exercise caution when using your hoverboard in crowded areas. Just because you CAN go fast doesn’t mean you SHOULD hit top speeds every single place you ride.Although riding the GT might appear akin to skateboarding, the experience really feels more like snowboarding. With one foot on either side of the central wheel, you lean in all four directions to accelerate, slow down and turn. This well-designed board features concave footpads with grip tape to help you stay put as you ride, and adjustable, 500-lumen headlights so you can ride safely at night. While the price tag is too high for many riders, this board is ideal for those who want to dive into the sport and ride regularly. The Razor Hovertrax 2.0 has one important thing going for it: The brand name. Along with Swagtron, Razor is perhaps the best known maker of scooters (both hovering and non-hovering varieties). It also boasts a somewhat more powerful set of motors than usual; while most hoverboards use a pair of 250-watt motors or smaller, Razor uses 350-watt motors instead, which gives it a max capacity of 220 pounds and a maximum range of 60 minutes (about 8 miles, give or take).

Also consider the motor—the more powerful it is, the faster it’ll go, and the steeper an incline it should be able to handle. But a powerful motor may be a safety hazard for the overzealous rider—the fast acceleration can be difficult to handle. And if you’re shopping for a hoverboard for children, a powerful motor may be overkill. Battery Life/RangeIt’s great for both beginners and experienced riders alike because of the steering column. In essence, the design handles differently than typical hoverboards. You turn by squeezing your legs together and applying pressure to one side, which may be easier for new riders to understand. And thanks to the large set of 10.5-inch pneumatic tires, it rides smoothly no matter how many potholes you encounter. If you plan to commute, this hoverboard will be perfect, as it can cruise up to 13 miles on a single charge. But if you need something that can go the extra mile, the S-Plus model has a staggering 22-mile range. Safety first: Make sure any model you consider has “UL 2272 certification, which guarantees the product meets safety standards,” says Mast. “It’s crucial to avoid potential fire hazards.” (Don’t worry, all products on this list meet this, in our opinion, basic requirement.)
