Best Hoverboard

Safety first, right? Even the most serious riders out there know that there’s no sense in risking your safety when riding. That’s why checking the UL certification on your board is essential. With speeds of up to 20km/h powered by a lithium-ion battery, there is some risk associated with these awesome toys. 

UL certified boards ensure you as a rider, or parent, that your device is highly unlikely to malfunction and combust. Whilst a guarantee of 100% safety has yet to be reached, making sure it’s UL certified will give you 99% peace of mind. With proper care and maintenance, you can confidently put your faith in your UL certified board.

There are three main types of hoverboard to suit different needs and situations. Each model will have different specifications including wheel size, battery life and style.  The three main types of boards are: classic, off-road and self-balancing.  The classic style board boasts 6.5” wheels and a sleek body style which doesn’t compensate for weight shift, meaning it is not self-balancing.  The off-road style is pretty self-explanatory. Some of the most popular boards in this range are the E3 and the Infinity Pro. They have larger 8” wheels and more powerful motors to compensate for the rougher terrains. They also perform well if you’re on the heavier side and worried about the support a classic style offers. Self-balancing boards utilise an inner gyroscope to compensate for shift in weight, keeping the rider balanced and upright without much manual adjustment. The Edge is a popular model in this range.   

How fast do you want to go? That’s the question. Consideration of the speed you’ll be travelling at will influence the model of hoverboard you’ll want to purchase. If it’s just for commute to and from work, you might opt for a model that prioritises control over high speeds. We suggest that the best hoverboard has a max speed between 9km and 11km. These models are generally well-built and are designed for a blend of speed and safety.

With every new model that comes out, there seems to be a new piece of technology that creates excitement and drives its sales above competitors. These technologies include Bluetooth connectivity and skill-based modes that help you ride to your level.

On the lower end of the spectrum, a more affordable hoverboard will set you back around $150. Moving upwards, models can be found between $600 and $700. As with most things though, you generally get what you pay for. More features and better materials = more hard earned $ to part with.
