Hoverboard UK Top Questions 2021

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

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.
