Best Hoverboard of 2020: Factors To Consider

Which model should I purchase? This is a very frequent question we get. Read along and you’ll find the best Hoverboard of 2020 for you.

It can be tricky to make a purchase when you can’t see the product until it arrives. Many of you are making the choice on behalf of your children and you want to guarantee that it’s right. We believe none of our boards are better than the other, it simply comes down to what you are specifically looking for. Sit back, relax, while we break it all down for you! In a few short minutes, you will establish which is the best 2020 Hoverboard for your needs.

Factors to Consider When Searching for the Best Hoverboard of 2020:

Weight

Choosing the best Hoverboard of 2020 for you means considering the individual’s weight as each of our models has a minimum weight requirement to ensure that the gyroscopic sensors are activated to allow the hoverboard to function correctly.

The minimum weight requirements are as follows:

6.5” Classic – 25kg
8.5” Hummer – 35kg
10” Mammoth – 45kg

If the weight requirement is not met, then the rider may experience vibrating and juddering during use, which may ruin the riding experience. If your child is below either of these minimum weight requirements for a particular model, we recommend considering a smaller one.

Can’t take your eyes off a certain model but don’t reach the minimum weight requirement? Worry not! This can all be resolved by utilising a HoverKart attachment. This alternative removed the minimum weight requirement as the gyroscopic sensors are activated using the handlebars of the Kart frame rather than the rider’s weight.

When buying for a child, we recommend the two 6.5” and 8.5” models for the best Hoverboard of 2020 experience, as long as they hit that minimum weight! You get that luxury of choice if you want to take it for a spin, as any models would be suitable for an adult. Please take note that these models do have a maximum load weight of 120kg.

Terrain

Our range of hoverboards can handle pavements without a problem. You can glide both indoor and outdoor, on the carpet, wooden flooring, cobbled streets and much more! However, not all Hoverboards are suitable for more demanding terrain like dirt and gravel. Therefore, selecting the best Hoverboard of 2020 for you will depend on where you’re planning on riding it!

If you’re looking for a hoverboard that’s most ideal for outdoor conditions, the best Hoverboards that we recommend are the 8.5” Hummer and the 10” Mammoth. These both have a larger ground clearance which allow you to travel over uneven surfaces smoothly. These bad boys grip the ground and absorb any bumps like a boss!

On the flip side, our 6.5” Classic Hoverboard is much more fun for indoor use! The smaller, harder wheels allow for movement in tight spaces without feeling too restricted. The Classic’s small, rubber tyres allow you to glide smoothly on carpets without slowing you down.

When selecting the best Hoverboard of 2020 for yourself, or your child, it is imperative you understand the nature of the surface you are likely to be riding on!

6.5” Classic – Indoor/outdoor to use on flat even ground
8.5” Hummer – Indoor/outdoor to use on cobblestone, gravel, dirt etc
10” Mammoth – indoor/outdoor to use limitlessly
