List of the best 5 hoverboards

 

Hoverboard with the best battery - Segway miniPRO

Coming by one of the most trusted and popular brand, Segway miniPRO is one of the best product on the market. However it's hard to categorize, it definitely fits in the self-balancing scooter section. The biggest difference at first glance compared to other hoverboards is the knee pad in the middle section. Its adjustable height and PU foam cushion offer more comfortable rides on longer trips, which may be needed due to the 14 miles maximum range.

The 10.5 inch wheels are one of the biggest on the market, offering a smooth ride on an uneven surface as well. The 400W dual motors can easily traverse 15° slopes and offer a maximum speed of 10 miles per hour.

Coming with a Bluetooth connection and anti-theft lock system through the mobile application, lightweight yet extremely durable frame, Segway miniPRO is one of the best self-balance scooter on the market right now.

The best cheap hoverboard - GOTRAX Hoverfly ECO

You have no experience with hoverboards but you would like to try it without paying out several hundreds of dollars? GOTRAX Hoverfly is the way to go. It is also a perfect gift for your kids if they have no riding experience. For just below $200 you will get a quality board with UL certification. You can use the one touch training mode for quick and easy learning. The dual 250W motors have a maximum speed of 7.4 miles per hour, which is perfect for beginners. Also, the 12 miles maximum range sounds really good for this price. Having a maximum weight capacity of 220 lb, it is not just for kids!

If are looking for a starter board, GOTRAX Hoverfly is highly recommended.

The best hoverboard for offroad - Halo Rover

Imagine that you are on a beautiful sandy beach on a nice sunny day, listening to the waves while you are riding your favorite hoverboard.

If you are dreaming about something like this, Halo Rover is the perfect choice for you. The 8.5 inch non-flat tires and the robust housing has been designed for rough terrain. The tires are wide enough not to sink in the sand, but thanks to the off-road pattern you can use it on dirt roads or grass as well. Powerful 400W motors on each side make it possible to climb 18 degrees steep hills. Halo Rover is coming with a UL certified battery pack with high-quality LG cells, which gives the hoverboard a maximum range of 10 miles. This is not the best range for the price tag, but still more than enough for most users.

Halo has developed its own app which you can download to your phone and sync your board with it. It tracks speed, battery life and you can set 3 modes: training, normal and advanced mode to fit your style. Thanks to the Bluetooth connectivity, you can put on your favorite music during your ride. Additionally, it comes with a heavy-duty carry case which protects your board when you are on the move.

We can't recommend this hoverboard enough, it has a really good value for the price.

The fastest hoverboard to buy - EPIKGO Sport Plus

 

If you are looking for a high quality, powerful hoverboard with the need for speed, you can't go wrong with Epikgo Sport Plus. We love the 8.5 inch high-tread street tires which give a unique sporty look.

According to the specs, it is almost the same as the Halo Rover. It also has two 400W motors which will help you climb slopes as steep as 30 degrees. On a flat surface, the maximum speed is 12 miles per hour, which is one of the fastest on the market. They are also supplied with UL certified LG battery pack, enabling a maximum range of 12 miles.

This is the best choice for having fun in the streets, we highly recommend it! However, if you want to go for something slower, or you can live without a Bluetooth connection, we also recommend Epikgo Sport Hoverboards.

The smartest hoverboard - Mozzie

Some would say Razor Hovertrax 2.0 would be on the list here but personally, I liked Mozzie hoverboards better. If you are not yet familiar with Mozzie, let me introduce it to you. The buildup of the board is really smart. Mozzie has handlebars integrated into the hoverboard's body both on the front and the rear side, making it really easy to carry even without a bag. The UL 2272 certified battery pack provides a maximum range of approximately 8-10 miles (13 -16km). The hoverboard is powered by dual 350W motors, enabling a maximum speed of 8 miles per hour. However, the greatest strength of Mozzie is not the max speed or range but the customization.

Downloading the Mozzie app to your phone opens up a lot of ways to personalize your user experience. The forward and backward lights are easily customizable to any color in addition to the light mode:

• Fixed: holds the color of the light constant
• Steering: causes the lights to interact and move rhythmically with the Board
• Music: Enables the lights to dance along with the audio being played through the Bluetooth speakers and remain fixed when no music is playing.

You can also fine tune the top speed, the responsiveness of balance and steering as well. With all these features you can master the hoverboard and adjust some settings for users with less experience.

If you are looking for a quality made hoverboard with smart functions Mozzie is the way to go!
