In this article, we thought it would be best to highlight some of the Hoverboard UK Top Questions of 2021. As the longest-running Hoverboard company in the UK, it is no wonder why so many customers choose HOVERBOARD-PRO as the go-to for advice and guidance.
When searching online for a Hoverboard for sale, you may have some pressing questions that you would like to ask. However, many of these questions don’t get answered properly. The advice you receive from many online sellers tends to be dishonest. This is due to the fact that many Hoverboard sellers will likely tell you what you want to hear just to break a sale.
However, not all Hoverboard specialists are cut from the same cloth. HOVERBOARD-PRO is the largest independent retailer of Hoverboards for sale from UK design and specification. As the longest-running Hoverboard company, we take care of our customers from the ground up. Therefore, we feel that it is our duty to educate our UK Hoverboard consumers regardless of whether this means they buy a Hoverboard from ourselves or not.
This is why, in this article, we will highlight some of the key Hoverboard UK top questions of 2021. Our answers will be honest and impartial, helping UK consumers make an informed decision when buying Hoverboards online.
So, without further delay, let’s begin by answering the age-old question that we’ve been answering since 2015…
Do Hoverboards still explode?
One of the Hoverboard UK Top Questions of 2021 is “Do Hoverboards Still Explode?”
The truth is, whether a Hoverboard can still explode or not largely depends on where you purchase the Hoverboard from. While all Hoverboards for sale may look similar to one another, this is very far from the case.
A cheap Hoverboard will include some of the most inferior components which are designed to provide the seller with the highest profit margins. However, this is purely at the expense of reliability and safety. When searching for a Hoverboard for sale on the internet, you’ll surely land yourself on websites such as eBay or Amazon. While it is great to purchase general items from Amazon (we all do it) it is a very bad idea to buy a Hoverboard from such a marketplace.
The main culprits to a cheap and unreliable Hoverboard include:
- Cheap lithium-ion batteries that can combust or explode.
- Inferior PCB components such as dual circuits and those that won’t last the test of time or pressure
- Cheap and unreliable charging adaptors that overheat or have not regulation to the batteries
- No aftercare or genuine Hoverboard warranty service
Premium Hoverboards for Sale UK
Our ever-popular Hoverboard Repairs team regularly take in cheap Hoverboards from customers who have had faulty boards from such marketplaces. Unfortunately, these repairs can cost between £65 to £150. Therefore, if you’re looking for a Hoverboard that costs less, then think twice. While we may not be the cheapest on the market, we certainly have the most reliable and safest Hoverboards in the UK. We do not cut corners on our premium Hoverboards for sale.
It is the case that we retain the lowest margins on our Hoverboards due to the fact that we never cut corners at the expense of our product. It is our benchmark that we provide only the most superior Hoverboard components throughout.
Take a look at our range of premium Hoverboards for sale made from British design by heading over to our online Hoverboard Store!
Which is The Best Hoverboard UK?
Another feature in our Hoverboard UK Top Questions segment is which Hoverboard is best. When searching for the best Hoverboard in the UK there are a number of things to look out for…
We have already touched on the fact that many online sellers tend to sell cheap and unreliable Hoverboards made from inferior components. These Hoverboards can often be dangerous or unreliable. Therefore, we’ll not touch on this topic for too long. Instead, we will highlight some of the key differences between our premium Hoverboard range and those that you will find elsewhere online.
A Hoverboard is generally made up of the following primary parts; batteries, PCB components, chassis, wheel motors and the chassis which holds it all together. In addition to those, the charger is a large separate piece of the Hoverboard which is a vital aspect of the device.
Unfortunately, Hoverboard sellers tend to cut corners when manufacturing these devices to increase their profit margins and therefore often provide cheap knock-offs. In the next stage of this article we will offer a quick comparison between a HOVERBOARD-PRO device and those found in the online marketplace:
Hoverboard UK Wheel Motors
Wheel motors are an important factor when considering which is the best Hoverboard to buy. A common one in the Hoverboard UK Top Questions segment is why is my Hoverboard less responsive?
If you notice that your Hoverboard is slow or sluggish or has a delay in response then it is likely that your wheel motors are low quality. We have come across several wheel motor repairs that feel considerably lighter than others. A low-quality wheel motor can be as low as 150w/250w rather than 350w will not only offer less power but will also suffer reliability issues.
A typical Hoverboard that we regularly come across with such low-quality parts and components is the Hover-1 that is often seen for sale in Argos and Currys PC World. Not only are the wheel motors are of an extremely lesser quality but the overall device is built using the most inferior components that we have seen to date.
Unfortunately, however, the way that this Hoverboard is built tends to be beyond repair for the most part. We urge consumers to think twice when purchasing this device as any issues likely to arise will be difficult to repair.
Hoverboard UK Batteries
Batteries are another large aspect to consider when looking for the best Hoverboard to buy in the UK. A regular question featuring in our Hoverboard UK Top Questions segment is “Why is my Hoverboard not lasting long?”. Unfortunately, many Hoverboards we find for sale online tend to include what we call “half batteries”.
A genuine Hoverboard battery includes 21-single-cell lithium-ion batteries. Many cheap Hoverboards for sale you find online tend to offer half this amount while putting foam pieces wedged between them to make up for the lost space. Needless to say, however, that you’ll notice half the battery life, half the longevity, half the reliability. Most sellers who do this also tend to put cheap knock-off Chinese batteries that are more likely to cause health and safety risks to the rider or in the home.
Hoverboard UK PCB’s
HOVERBOARD-PRO has been in the business for 6 years. As the longest-running Hoverboard business in the UK, it is fair to say that we have seen it all. Up until more recently, most Hoverboards were built using conventional circuit systems that include a single Motherboard and two separate gyroscopes on either side of the device.
However, more recently we have been noticing many cheap Hoverboards for sale offering “dual circuit” systems. Dual circuit systems are – and have always been – the cheap method of manufacturing a Hoverboard. They are the most unreliable yet cheapest system to produce.
Many cheap knock-off Hoverboards include dual-circuit systems due to the fact that they are cheap to make. However, this is always at the expense of the customer. Our Hoverboard repair service offers a dual circuit conversion service that converts such systems into more reliable conventional kits. However, this is at a cost of £85.00.
We recommend that you check to ensure that you are purchasing a Hoverboard made from the best parts and components to avoid issues that will cost you more than you bargained for.

Best Hoverboards in the UK
In this article, we will highlight some of the key motives for purchasing a premium Hoverboard from HOVERBOARD PRO. Here are a few reasons why we’re the best place to buy Hoverboards in the UK:
Longest running Hoverboard company in the UK
Est. 2015, we are the longest running Hoverboard company in England. In fact, it’s safe to say that 90% of the companies kicking around back in 2015 have now disappeared. However, HOVERBOARD PRO has been consistently providing the UK with the best Hoverboards in the UK. Growing from strength to strength, we build our reputation on quality, reliability, safety and great customer experience. With centres in the North and South of England, we’re proud of our history and what we have become today.
Best Hoverboards made from UK Design
Each HOVERBOARD PRO Hoverboard is from British design. Made from British design means that not only do we hand-pick each component that goes into our Swegway, but we oversee the entire process, too. This strict process guarantees that what we design is indeed implemented. This is how we’re able to guarantee our best Hoverboards for sale in the UK. Of course, being from UK design also means that our Hoverboards are fully UK Compliant and certified under all British directives of safety – although that goes without saying.
The best components, nothing less
We’re proud to offer our customers the best Hoverboards in the UK. In doing so, we must ensure that we use only the best components and nothing less. Our research and development team invest heavily on guaranteeing reliability and safety from the ground up. We’re not all about the cheap gimmicks or dangerous thrills. If it doesn’t meet our highest benchmark of quality, reliability and safety, then it’s not going into our Hoverboard.
Good quality and safe Batteries made by Samsung
Did you know that Samsung does not ‘make’ the Hoverboard battery pack, nor do they have any affiliation to the Hoverboard Swegway? This doesn’t mean that we can’t use the most reliable and safe battery cells which go into the pack itself. All our battery packs contain genuine Samsung battery cells for the purpose of safety, reliability and quality.
We provide a 12-month warranty – never outsourced.
When we say that all our Hoverboards come with a 12-month warranty, we mean it. Unlike many knock-off boards and hoax companies in the internet world, we mean what we say. Many bad companies claim to offer a warranty but will either:
So don’t be fooled by those cheap prices on the internet. Be sure to purchase a genuine British Hoverboard from a genuine independent Swegway retailer.
24/7 Hoverboard Customer Service
Did you know that SWEGAY PRO is the only Hoverboard company in England providing 24/7 customer service? In addition to this, all our customer service representatives are UK-Based and have years of Hoverboard industry experience.

Hoverboard UK Top Questions 2021: Part 2
In our previous article, we highlight some of the Hoverboard UK Top Questions of 2021. As the longest-running Hoverboard company in the UK, it is no wonder why so many customers choose HOVERBOARD-PRO as the go-to for advice and guidance. Since the popularity of our last post, we think it will only be right if we continued on to our Part 2 of Hoverboard UK Top Questions 2021.
In this next segment, we will highlight some more Hoverboard Top Questions of 2021, including:
Before we start, however, we wish to thank all our customers for their continued support. The COVID-19 pandemic has been relentless to many independent businesses here in the UK. Nonetheless, we have continued to grow as a business and expand our branches nationwide. That way, our solid business model allows us to continues to provide our customers with the safest and most reliable Hoverboards for sale in the UK.
So, without any further delay, let’s begin!
Is Hoverboard Illegal in UK?
Hoverboards are indeed legal. There is nothing ‘illegal’ about owning a Hoverboard. However, there are a few caveats which you must consider in order to stay within the legal boundaries of owning a Hoverboard in the UK.
Believe it or not, this is one of the Hoverboard UK Top Questions asked. Although chose to wait until Part 2 of this article to talk about it, we have written several times about this topic in the past.
Firstly, take a look at the following articles for your perusal:
Once you had a look at the above articles, you might already know the answer. However, for the purpose of clarity, let’s break it down for you…
Hoverboards are totally legal to own in the UK. However, since they are recognised as a ‘Motorised Vehicle’ there are technicalities which you must consider. Firstly, You must not ride a Hoverboard on a public footpath or road. Instead, you can enjoy riding a Hoverboard in the UK in the following places:
Whilst the government don’t seem too strict about it; it’s not worth the risk. We never recommend riding your Hoverboard on the road, even if it was to be legalised due to the dangers and risk of vehicles and other factors.
Can I bring My Hoverboard on a Plane?
Can it be done? This question successfully makes it to our Hoverboard UK Top Questions Part 2 segment since it’s a popular one, too!
We understand why you might want to take your Hoverboard abroad. There are several reasons why this may be something you’re considering, some of which may be:
However, since 2015 it has been quite clear that most – if not all – airlines are prohibiting Hoverboards on the plane. The reason for this is quite simple: BATTERIES.
Hoverboards contain several Lithium-ion batteries combined into a single lithium-ion pack. These types of batteries at high quantities are prohibited from catching flight due to the combustion risks that they may impose on those onboard their flight.
Therefore, for the safety of all those on the flight, bringing your Hoverboard on the plane is likely not going to be allowed. However, if you can prove that you have taken the battery pack out of the Hoverboard device, then there is no reason why airlines will not allow them with you.
What is The Hoverboard app?
Some Hoverboards for sale which come directly from China may contain an App. This allows the rider to toggle between modes and to diagnose basic commands and faults with the device. However, these commands can also be done without the requirement for an App.
The apps (similar to remotes) require an additional PCB attachment to the gyroscopes and motherboard which have been known to cause reliability issues as well as battery faults. Furthermore, none of the Apps developed in China is yet compatible with proper English and is not yet verified by Google Play or Applestore as of yet
We focus on reliability and safety above all, and will only ever roll out a service or product if it passes our benchmark of reliability standards. This is why we discontinued key fobs back in 2016 and have not allowed App functionality within our Hoverboards for sale as of yet.
Is a Real Hoverboard Possible?
So far, HOVERBOARD-PRO Hoverboards for sale is the closest thing to an affordable Hoverboard. However, companies have begun developing true levitating Hoverboards and soon it may come into existence! Having said this, we cannot imagine it being affordable just yet, however.
In the above video, we see the Lexus levitating Hoverboard come to life. Whether this will be a prototype for a while or if it may be soon on the high street is still yet unknown.

Do Hoverboards still explode?
One of the Hoverboard UK Top Questions of 2021 is “Do Hoverboards Still Explode?”
The truth is, whether a Hoverboard can still explode or not largely depends on where you purchase the Hoverboard from. While all Hoverboards for sale may look similar to one another, this is very far from the case.
A cheap Hoverboard will include some of the most inferior components which are designed to provide the seller with the highest profit margins.

Our ever-popular Hoverboard Repairs team regularly take in cheap Hoverboards from customers who have had faulty boards from such marketplaces.

We have already touched on the fact that many online sellers tend to sell cheap and unreliable Hoverboards made from inferior components. These Hoverboards can often be dangerous or unreliable. Therefore, we’ll not touch on this topic for too long. Instead, we will highlight some of the key differences between our premium Hoverboard range and those that you will find elsewhere online.
A Hoverboard is generally made up of the following primary parts; batteries, PCB components, chassis, wheel motors and the chassis which holds it all together. In addition to those, the charger is a large separate piece of the Hoverboard which is a vital aspect of the device.
Unfortunately, Hoverboard sellers tend to cut corners when manufacturing these devices to increase their profit margins and therefore often provide cheap knock-offs. In the next stage of this article we will offer a quick comparison between a HOVERBOARD-PRO device and those found in the online marketplace:
Hoverboard UK Wheel Motors
Wheel motors are an important factor when considering which is the best Hoverboard to buy. A common one in the Hoverboard UK Top Questions segment is why is my Hoverboard less responsive?
If you notice that your Hoverboard is slow or sluggish or has a delay in response then it is likely that your wheel motors are low quality. We have come across several wheel motor repairs that feel considerably lighter than others. A low-quality wheel motor can be as low as 150w/250w rather than 350w will not only offer less power but will also suffer reliability issues.
A typical Hoverboard that we regularly come across with such low-quality parts and components is the Hover-1 that is often seen for sale in Argos and Currys PC World. Not only are the wheel motors are of an extremely lesser quality but the overall device is built using the most inferior components that we have seen to date.
Unfortunately, however, the way that this Hoverboard is built tends to be beyond repair for the most part. We urge consumers to think twice when purchasing this device as any issues likely to arise will be difficult to repair.
Hoverboard UK Batteries
Batteries are another large aspect to consider when looking for the best Hoverboard to buy in the UK. A regular question featuring in our Hoverboard UK Top Questions segment is “Why is my Hoverboard not lasting long?”. Unfortunately, many Hoverboards we find for sale online tend to include what we call “half batteries”.
A genuine Hoverboard battery includes 21-single-cell lithium-ion batteries. Many cheap Hoverboards for sale you find online tend to offer half this amount while putting foam pieces wedged between them to make up for the lost space. Needless to say, however, that you’ll notice half the battery life, half the longevity, half the reliability. Most sellers who do this also tend to put cheap knock-off Chinese batteries that are more likely to cause health and safety risks to the rider or in the home.
Hoverboard UK PCB’s
HOVERBOARD-PRO has been in the business for 6 years. As the longest-running Hoverboard business in the UK, it is fair to say that we have seen it all. Up until more recently, most Hoverboards were built using conventional circuit systems that include a single Motherboard and two separate gyroscopes on either side of the device.
However, more recently we have been noticing many cheap Hoverboards for sale offering “dual circuit” systems. Dual circuit systems are – and have always been – the cheap method of manufacturing a Hoverboard. They are the most unreliable yet cheapest system to produce.
Many cheap knock-off Hoverboards include dual-circuit systems due to the fact that they are cheap to make. However, this is always at the expense of the customer. Our Hoverboard repair service offers a dual circuit conversion service that converts such systems into more reliable conventional kits. However, this is at a cost of £85.00.
We recommend that you check to ensure that you are purchasing a Hoverboard made from the best parts and components to avoid issues that will cost you more than you bargained for.

Hoverboard Tips For Beginners: How to Ride a Hoverboard
Hoverboards are great fun to ride. And if you’ve never ridden one before, you’ll love it. That’s the first point to make. However, there is a bit of a knack to it, and in order to make the most of your Hoverboard adventures, it’s a good idea to start off the right way with our Hoverboard Tips for Beginners guide. That means following a few tips for beginners. We’ll start off with an overview of some of the benefits of riding a Hoverboard before moving onto those top tips.
The Benefits of Riding a Hoverboard
There are a number of health benefits you’ll get from riding a Hoverboard. One is the calorie burn. You are going sweat, so make sure you know which is going to protect you best – deodorant vs antiperspirant. Secondly, there’s the chance to improve your posture, balance and core strength.
There’s also the improved concentration and focus. So much more than just a cool way of getting from A to B. Just quickly, back to that deodorant vs antiperspirant debate – if you would like to know more you can go here.
Now, let’s take a look at how to ride a Hoverboard Tips for Beginners:
Foot placement
Start off by stepping onto your board one foot at a time. It’s going to wobble as soon as there’s contact, so make sure it’s flat to start with and resist any urge to hop on two-footed. Once you’ve got your feet on the fun’s nearly ready to start.
Spread your feet as wide as you can, without them touching the wheels. This will give you the most solid base and best control. Stand up straight and look ahead. You’re nearly ready to go, just stay relaxed.
Hoverboard Tips For Beginners: Moving Forward and Backward
In order to make the Hoverboard go where you want, you need to move your body. Starting with a forward and backward movement, all you have to do is gently lean… either forwards or backwards – although we’re not recommending going back just yet.
Keep your feet nice and flat and practice riding in straight lines to start with. Try not to bend from the hips – think of your ankles as the pivot point. That way you’ll stay upright and more in control.
Hoverboard Tips For Beginners: Turning Your Hoverboard
Next up is moving left and right, which is controlled by moving your toes. All you have to do is push them forwards on one foot or the other. Now, this might take a little time to get used to, mainly because if you want to turn left you should dip your right foot and vice versa.
The further down you press your toes the more pronounced the turns will be. Again, start off gently, and then you can move onto sharper turns. To do this you push the toes of one foot forward, and the heel of the other foot down. You’ll be spinning in a circle in no time.
Be Safe on Your Hoverboard
Mastering your Hoverboard takes a little time and patience, but once you do you’ll be able to ride it with ease. And whilst some think it’s fun to laugh at people falling off on their first hoverboard ride, the truth is that it can hurt. Not fun. So, take it slowly.
Wear a helmet and pads if need be and practice, practice, practice. That includes the dismount. To get off your hoverboard just reverse the mounting process, one foot at a time.
That’s it – everything you need to know to take your first hoverboard ride. Have fun!

Hoverboard Health Benefits You Didn’t Think Of!
Bet you’ve overlooked the Hoverboard health benefits huh? Well, you’ll be surprised to know there’s plenty of them!
Hoverboards are here, and they’re here to stay. For good reason too, not only have they provided both children and adults alike with incredible fun and adventure, but surprisingly, Hoverboards can also provide you with a number of impressive health benefits!
There has been an eminent focus on children and exercise for a number of years, with ingenious strategies to detach your kid from their iPad and sprinkle some good ol’ exercise into their day. You may be wondering if riding a Hoverboard counts as exercise; It certainly does! Next time your child attempts to convince you on that extra half hour on their Hoverboard, you’ll certainly be more inclined to say yes!
Hoverboard Health Benefits: Top 4
Hoverboard Health Benefits on Mental Health
We’ve all been told that going outside has great benefit to our mental health. This is where the Hoverboard comes in as it encourages us to go outside! This has especially been the case this year with the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions implemented throughout the whole country.
From repetitive desk work, to mobile screens and video games, staying indoor for the whole day has become even more of a case for us in 2020. Hoverboards give you that chance to get outside, inhale some fresh air and refresh your mind!
Blazing those calories
Riding a Hoverboard looks so fun, you wouldn’t it even consider it as exercise! If you are like many people, that only consider REAL exercise to be coupled with profuse sweating and bodily exhaustion; then you might be overlooking the power of the Hoverboard. In fact, a 30 minute session can easily burn up to 300 calories! If you or your child are struggling with some extra load, riding a Hoverboard will be a breeze for shedding that weight.
The major of the Hoverboard health benefits is that it gets your heart PUMPING! Unlike conventional types of exercise, your legs won’t be replicating the same movements. However, they are continuously working to maintain control of the hoverboard. As you are required to sustain your balance and produce minimal movements to speed up, slow down and turn the Hoverboard around. The leg and core muscles are continuously engaged; which coupled together, help to boost your heart rate. Want to know the best part? You can carry on as you won’t be feeling drained!
Don’t forget about posture!
For many, when thinking of outdoor exercise, they think of running or riding a bike. These options require you to be in a hunched over position and over time, will put a lot of strain on the lower segment of the back. As a matter of fact, 50% of cyclists experience lower back pain, even children!
Hoverboards are unique in the sense that they help you keep your back straight through the duration of use. Your core muscles engage, allowing you to stand up tall; saving your back from any stress and improving your posture. They provide you with a full body workout, without over exerting you! The shoulders, upper and lower limbs, abs and feet are all utilised!
If your child is begging for a Hoverboard, or you want to attempt it yourself, don’t hesitate! There are so many Hoverboard health benefits, you won’t be disappointed.
Concentration and focus
The final Hoverboard health benefit centres on how your concentration and reflexes sharpen while riding. Hands-free and self-balanced riding is a challenge your body is definitely not used to. Therefore, effort is applied to engage your body and mind to remain upright, stable and safe. As your balance elevates, honing your reflexes, your focus will also improve! The more your kid will whizz around on their Hoverboard, the more their focus and concentration will strengthen.
Now, drop your phone and video games and hop on a Hoverboard! Take advantage of all of these health benefits it has on offer.

The Science of Hoverboards
Ever walked past your neighbour majestically swirling on a Hoverboard in their garden and wondered the science of Hoverboards?
Not to state the obvious, but Hoverboards don’t actually hover; they’re more self-balancing boarders or scooters. However, these impressive, nippy machines contain highly advanced technology. At HOVERBOARD-PRO, we wanted to give you some insight into the science of Hoverboards and the amazing technology within. Read along, you won’t be disappointed!
Before we get all techy, It’s best you begin with a brief baseline of what happens when you step on a Hoverboard and how they actually move. Once the Hoverboard is charged and switched on, it will balance independently. Firstly, you begin by stepping on it with one foot, then the other. As long as you keep your body weight central and not lean in any direction, you will balance on the spot. Simple right? It will take some practice though!
To propel the Hoverboard forward, you press down the front of your feet. Conversely, pressing down with your heels will enable the Hoverboard to roll backwards. As the two foot pads are only attached and can manoeuvre independently of each other, placing more pressure on one side will make the Hoverboard spin in either direction! Simply put, Hoverboards work by moving and turning by responding to very subtle cues of body movement and sensitive pressure wherever you apply it. Whether they hover or not, you definitely will feel like you’re hovering!
Science of Hoverboards: Internal Components
Getting into the more technical aspects of how a hoverboard works, we must assess the parts that internal components harmoniously work together to enable you to perform those amazing tricks! All in all, It’s the science of Hoverboards that makes them work.
Our Hoverboards contain the following:
Let us explain what these things are!
The Battery
This part is quite self-explanatory, this is the powerhouse of a Hoverboard! You wouldn’t be going anywhere without it. At HOVERBOARD-PRO, we use premium Samsung lithium-ion batteries as they’re lightweight, have a high energy density. Supplying you with more mileage with each charge, all within a compact package. They really determine how fast your Hoverboard will go and for how long! You’ve probably heard of Hoverboards bursting into flames, this is because dodgy vendors attempt to cut down costs by using cheap half batteries that will not sustain the time. This is why at HOVERBOARD-PRO, we only use the best batteries that are individually UL 2272 certified to ensure your safety.
Gyroscopes
This is where the self-balancing technology calls into play! Each side of the Hoverboard contains a gyroscope, whereby the wheel sends different speed and tilt information to the gyroscope next to it. Based on how your weight is distributed, the gyroscopes and tilt sensors jointly calculate your centre of gravity and maintain your balance. After this, the gyroscopes process the information and send it to the motherboard, which helps keep balanced while speeding or slowing down.
Normally, if the Hoverboard is glitching, it is most likely an issue with the gyroscopes being out of sync. This is when it is required to re-calibrate the Hoverboard again which will rest the current state of the gyroscopes back to zero again.
The REAL science of Hoverboards: Motherboard
This is the brain of the Hoverboard! The entire life of the board is controlled from here. Think of it as a miniature computer inside of your board where all the processing happens. The logic board controls the riding modes, the LED lights, power consumptions and much more! Any feedback from the gyroscope and speed control is driven here, where the logic board can analyse acceleration, deceleration and turning from side to side. As well as this, It understands the relationship between the right and left pedals, wheels and how the sensors break and connect the movements of your feed to keep you balanced.
Wheel Motors
They may only look like wheels but there’s a lot going on within!
Normally, Hoverboards have two motors; one in each wheel. This enables the two wheels to move and accelerate separately from one another at different speeds. This is what allows you to actually turn! Imagine a scenario where you would only be able to ride forward and backwards, boring huh?
Each individual wheel is appointed a sensor which reads the speed and tilt of the board at each moment during your ride.
Now that you’ve grasped the science of Hoverboards, how they work and what is propelling you around the block. Check out our range of bespoke built UK Hoverboards, that will certainly fulfil your adventurous appetite! We use only the safest, most reliable components certified for the UK consumer.
