How to Select the Best Hoverboard
6 Things to Consider Before Buying
- Safety
The most important thing to look for in a hoverboard is the safety standard and safety features of the product. Many products that have flooded the market these days have faulty lithium batteries which explode and destroy some of your properties when they are being charged. When selecting a hoverboard, consider products with UL certification as this is the highest safety standard. - Design Quality
The design of any hoverboard will tell you how durable it’s going to be. Look at the materials used in designing the sensors, internal motors as well as the wheels (plastic or metal), housing material and frame. - Charging Time
Any hoverboard is useless without a good battery. If you enjoy long rides, i’s important to select a model with long battery power for up to 3 hours. Also, select a model programmed to shut down and stop when battery level is below 10%. This will preserve the life of the battery. - Speed RangeĀ
Range, in particular, might be a little difficult to measure since so many factors may affect how far and how long you can go. The weight of the rider, incline and terrain can affect the range of the hoverboard. But most models generally get up to 12 miles per hour. - Portability
The portability of the ride is another feature you have to consider before making your purchase. If you’re planning to go on longer rides, it’s important to select a light and portable ride to help you easily maneuver through difficult terrains. - Cost
When it comes to hoverboards, the saying “you get what you pay for” is usually true. The better quality models with more features are usually more expensive than fewer quality ones. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. prices for hoverboard can start from $300.
