How to choose your hoverboard?


 


[Swegway] Since it is marketing in 2015, the hoverboard has already experienced several variations and the market has developed well, forcing you to think about choosing the best model for you.

So how do you choose the right electric skate for you?


What type of user are you?

Before buying an electric skateboard, you should first ask yourself why you are going to use it. Is it just for your daily commute in the city, like going to work for example? Or for less stable terrain, like country roads, or to have fun with your friends in a skate park? Because depending on your use there are more or less suitable models. Indeed, some hoverboards have a single operating mode, useful for daily trips in town or to go fast, while others have two modes of use, a freestyle mode, and a beginner mode.

Different modes

Beginner mode:


First of all, to activate it just turn on your electric skateboard by pressing the “ON” button once. This mode is great for starting to use the hoverboard or for going fast in a straight line. The latter makes your skateboard heavier, more stable and easier to control.

 hold on or for racing. Indeed, it is better to prefer this mode if you do not want to fall when you advance at the maximum speed of your smartboard.

Freestyle mode (or sport mode):


To activate this mode, you have to press the "ON" button twice (a beep is heard, which confirms that the electric skate is in freestyle mode). Once activated, the hoverboard is much more flexible and thus more sensitive to the movements of your body. You can turn much easier and faster but that also makes it harder to control. So, avoid if you plan to go very fast with your machine, you could end up on the ground!

Autonomy

It is also an important characteristic to take into account. The battery lasts on average 20km (about 2h30) for a classic adult model. You have to think carefully about your destination and how long you will be using it so as not to have to carry your hoverboard. [Hoverkart for sale]Because once the battery is empty, you will have to bring your gyroskate to a place to charge it, and they can weigh up to 15kg, which is not very light. However, the big advantage is that the battery only takes 2 hours to recharge.

Battery Type

Speaking of autonomy, the type of battery is also essential. There are several types to operate this electric device. As you may have seen or read, some hoverboards caught fire due to a faulty battery. Don't be afraid, your smartboard is unlikely to catch fire, you just need to avoid buying them on a questionable site, such as a Chinese site for example. But other trusted sites use Samsung batteries thus ensuring a certain quality.

Price



The price depends of course on the model of the hoverboard. But for a classic model, you will find one of good quality between 300 and 500 euros. If the price is lower (or even much higher), the quality will surely not be there.

Beware of scams

If you buy your electric skateboard on a Chinese site for example, you are likely to be fooled. Even if they are cheaper than on another site, be careful. If not by the price, you can be ripped off by the quality of the product. Indeed, Chinese batteries are flammable, the hoverboard does not meet European standards, you may have 25% customs fees on delivery, you have no guarantee and no contact person in case of problems. And the same goes for sites that offer them between 1000 and 2000 euros. [Drone sale uk]More expensive than average does not necessarily mean better quality. So, prefer a trusted site with reachable customer service. To buy a cheap one, do not hesitate to visit our section “Cheap Hoverboard » (And they are even guaranteed for two years).

Design / color



The last feature that we are going to present to you (but not the least!) Is its design. The classic look (black hoverboard) is found in many models, but there are also special designs, like that of a child model in white that has panda designs on the platform and wheels (too cute). Or, a white adult model with colorful patterns (see below) who throws it squarely.
