20 Best Hoverboard For Heavy Adults (2023 Updated)

It was super fun, my kids love it so much. They went off roaring in it through construction sites and it help up fine. The balance is super good that I tried it on myself. I also like the wireless control for music, you can switch to any music you want when you’re playing.

The battery indicator also tell you when it need to be changed. Great product.

Purchased this for my 13 yr old son for Christmas. Even moved up opening presents to Christmas Eve so he would have tine to ride it before having to go to his fathers. He has been asking for one for 2 years and against my better judgement as i hear they are a waste of money and don’t last long I caved and bought one.

Thinking by spending a bit more money would guarantee it would not give as many issues. We took it out of the box following directions charged for 3 hours as stated in instruction booklet. Recalibrated it several times.

It lights up and beeps but thats it. Does not move at all! Spent all christmas eve messing with it and seeing the disappointment on my sons face going to bed hoping it would work in the am after charging longer.

Well still nothing. Chatted with swagtron directly with them telling me it must be defective and would have to be returned to be fixed and will take approx 2 weeks once its received back. Qvc is out of stock so who knows if he could get a replacement.

Its not exactly lightweight so is going to be a pain to package up and ship. Will be awaiting a response from both qvc and swagtron tomorrow. Was hoping i was just missing a step with setting up. Searched for tips troubleshooting reviews and u tube videos for most of my christmas day trying to get this thing working for my son.

Now his big gift is ruined. Thanks qvc and swagtron for not testing your equipment before selling them.

As far as I’ve seen by searching Walmart and various other sites this one seems to be the best buy for the price. It came really really quick which surprised me. I was told it would take around 7-10 days so was real happy when it showed up about 3 days after I ordered it.

I’m real curious to see if the go cart attachment will work with this. If it will. I might have gotten myself a new toy instead of my son :

I don’t have any previous experience with hoverboards, but this thing is so much fun. It’s a lot heavier than I expected so for moving it around it’s slightly more difficult but the foldable function helps with that and storage.

Our whole family can use it and does. We haven’t tried it outside yet but inside on hardwood floors it works great. The Bluetooth feature is fun to have your music following you around. My 12-year-old son is obsessed with it and it’s been great motivation for getting his homework done to be able to use it.

We get a couple of hours out of it and then recharge for most of the night. I don’t charge it overnight just to be safe. We have had no problem with it holding a charge. If you’re looking for something you could take around with you I highly recommend.

Hover-1 wants you to be the life of the party with its new self-balancing device, the Hover-1 Astro Hoverboard. An easy to use scooter that blasts both colorful lights and party tunes, this device brings the hoverboard experience to life.

Out of the box, the Astro Hoverboard comes with the device and AC charging cable. After an initial charge of the board, you’re ready to go. To get the most out of the device, connect it to your mobile device and stream music directly through the board itself.

The volume isn’t very loud, but it is definitely a fun feature when rolling through a room or down the street. The board features LED lights that pulsate throughout your ride from the wheels to the footpads.

It is vibrant and definitely eye-catching. I had zero experience with self-balancing boards prior to this, but I had no problems following the easy instructions to get up and running. The board is amazingly responsive to the instructed foot gestures and provides excellent balance during movement and while static in place.

While in motion, the device uses its 400W motor to get you going up to 7mph, and after several days of test runs, it ranged from 5-7 miles per charge. The Astro Hoverboard is truly a party device, with its features designed to catch eyes and ears while using it.

Remember though, it is highly advised to follow all state and local laws and guidelines in terms of safety while using the hoverboard. Overall, Hover-1 has created a riding experience that is both highly responsive and extremely fun.

This board is easy to use and has enough features to entertain a wide age range. The Astro Hoverboard brings the party and comes highly recommended. Full disclosure, I received this product for my honest, unbiased review.

So before anything, I highly recommend watching a tutorial. By that, I mean a real tutorial of someone who is a pro, not someone “trying it out”. Watching the right tutorial can make the difference between loving it vs liking it.

Learning the how to’s, as is how to mount, balance, techniques, care of your hover and more are of upmost importance. Downloading the app was quick and I was playing tunes out of my hover instantly. Changing the color of the lights is easy with the app and keeping track using GPS and more with the app is a breeze.

I ensured I had my safety gear as recommended in the instructions, especially it was my first time using a hover board. While I have excellent balance on roller skates, bike, skateboard and more. the type of balance needed for the giver is slightly different as the board is very sensitive to your body/foot movements.

You can use a combo of foot/ankle vs body position to manipulate the hover to command it to move where you want it to. after a while it seems like you both become one and it can read where you want to go.

The ride is smooth and the hover is powerful. It’s has a decent weight to it so it’s not flimsy and well built. It has safety features in place to prevent fires as explained in the pamphlet in the box.

I recommend not playing music until you’ve become comfortable with riding it and learning some techniques so you can focus on where you are going and not getting lost in the tunes. The hover really packs a pinch and gets you on your way.

Watch our for bumps and be ready to launch off when on uneven terrain. knowing how to get off is just as important as getting on. It’s recommended to charge for 6 hours first time around and not to surpass the 6 hrs.

A change in light indicator will notify you when a full charge has been met. The sound of the speakers are impressive.

I find myself in a weird place in my life. I’m going to be 40 next year but I’ve always seen these “hover boards” and thought they looked neat. These 2 ideas conflict with each other in my head but here we are now.

So this was my first balancing scooter “hover boards” and I was pretty timid when trying it out for the first time. I read the instructions (more or less skimmed through the countless safety precautions) about how to get started and took my first steps.

I didn’t fall! I still haven’t fallen. I think I’m still on easy mode and haven’t really pushed this this to it’s limits but it was still pretty cool to just get on and roll around without falling down.

A very weird feeling. The science in these things is pretty crazy. So setup was a breeze. I removed the board from the box, downloaded their app and it connected to my board pretty quick. It even lets you connect to the board as a bluetooth speaker.

It’s not a great speaker and I don’t think I’d ever use it when I’m outside because I don’t feel like blasting my music for the neighbors but I guess it’s there. There’s like no bass to the speaker at all so it’s probably just a last ditch thing if you really need a bluetooth speaker.

Point is, the app connects right away and it’s really necessary to use the hover board. The biggest positive is the ability to “Skip” account creation when you load up the app. I haven’t seen much functionality lost by not creating an account.

You need to skip the account creation every time you open the app after it closes, though. The app has a few neat features. It has a “mode” setting that you can use to set your experience level with the scooter with beginner, intermediate and expert (I stuck to beginner).

It gives you the battery level and mph and even some “total” stats. Then you can use plot your trip with the GPS. You can also adjust the lights but the options are a little limited. You can do some solid lights, strobe slights or random.

If you have bluetooth connected, you can also do a music visualizer mode. I barely noticed the lights when I was riding, though. Riding was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I followed the few recommendations in the manual they give you for first time or beginner riders and, although I was a little shaky at first, it felt pretty easy to gain my balance and start moving around.

I definitely have some work to do with turning but it felt like I was getting better as using it pretty quickly. I don’t know if I can do much about the battery life on this thing. I have no idea how to compare it to others.

The product says it lasts 6 miles on a single charge but I feel like this is completely dependent on the rider. My beginner riding might be able to get a lot more out of the battery since I’m not pushing it to max speed (ever) or anything.

The battery doesn’t seem fantastic but doesn’t seem bad either from a beginner’s perspective. One thing that I noticed right away (again, as a beginner) was the inability to traverse over fairly small bumps or cracks without some speed.

It makes a lot of sense but it was something I didn’t think about before getting caught up on a couple of cracks while moving around quite slowly. I don’t think this is a knock against the hover board, though.

I think it’s more about the rider’s abilities and understanding what works and what doesn’t over time. Overall, I like this thing and I’m going to try and get better at using it. Luckily, it’s a pretty warm November so I can get a little more experience in before the winter takes hold.

While the lights and stuff seem unnecessary since I barely noticed them while riding, I can imagine they look pretty cool to other people. I’m not sure how beginner friendly most hover boards are but the fact that I have yet to fall off of this one (a couple close calls) yet makes me think either they’re all this easy to use or this one is just that good for beginners.

I’m not what this means, really. If you’re in the market for a hover board at this price range, I’d say do you research and see how this one compares and if it checks all the boxes you’re looking for, I can recommend this one.

The hoverboard is sleek but powerful. Movement is sensitive to foot touch. Be sure to set your app settings before using. The app is easy to navigate and straightforward. The videos on the app are very informative especially if you’re inexperienced with riding the hoverboard.

Although there are less expensive hoverboards on the market, the EverCross does not disappoint.

Sorry, not for me. I’m 60 years young, they set limit to 50.

TranslateShow in original languageLivraison est trop rapide, J’ai été agréablement surpris, le colis est bien emballé. Je l’ai ouvert avec plaisir et j’ai vu que le produit n’avait aucune différence de couleur.

C’était super beau et le manuel est multilingue, répondant aux besoins différents des personnes. vu que je suis un débutant, j’ai suivi les instructions pour rouler. Après avoir essayé de conduire pendant 30 minutes, j’ai pu le contrôler facilement.

Les lumières LED sont cool pour la conduite pendant la nuit et j’ai une expérience magnifique. Mon ami m’a conseillé d’acheter l’hoverboard de la marque EVERCROSS. Comme prévu, la qualité est super bonne.

N’hésitez pas de passer votre commande dans cette boutique : EVERCROSS officiel.

It really is a great device. You have to read the instructions and attention to them in order to unlock the faster speed. Additionally, there are aftermarket sources who can go in to hack the code and increase your top speed for an even higher speed, if you’re willing to pay for it.

By the way, I did it and it’s totally worth it! You have a higher top speed and, if you change the tires to a more wretched all-terrain tire you can increase the speed even more. Mind you, definitely use it at your own risk and wear your helmet.

Overall this is a really great product and if you live in a city that is very pedestrian friendly and things are close by, it makes perfect sense. Even if you don’t live in a small community it’s still has the capability to get you there, anywhere you need within a 20 mile radius.

You’ll be a little tired if you go that far but, it will do it!.

I am overall very please with this self balancing electric scooter. It is extremely easy to use. Climbing on it is not awkward and feel very safe. Controlling the machine is very intuitive and comfortable.

In no time you feel comfortable and are able to navigate different terrain and tight space. The scooter is heavy and sturdy. The wheel are fairly large and have tires which allow for navigation on roads and small obstacles.

Charing takes a little while but the battery keeps its charge for a long time. The only negative is the self tracking feature. It is all but unusable for me. There is no obstacle avoidance so you need to keep a constant eye on it.

I was looking for an unusual anniversary gift for my 79 yr old husband. While he is well over the recommended age, he is agile and a perfectionist. It took him awhile to get the hang of it but became an instant hit on the street.

Our 5 yr old grandsonlearned quickly and just got his own hoverboard so they can ride together. They wear all the protective gear now, a must, as both have had spills. This was well worth the purchases.

TranslateShow in original languageLes enfants ont adoré cet hoverboard stationnaire Il est assez rapide, possède une bonne autonomie de batterie et dispose même d’un haut-parleur intégré. C’est un peu difficile à apprendre au début, mais une fois que vous l’avez compris, c’est un jeu d’enfant.

Ma nièce l’a ramassé plus vite que moi. Je suis super contente d’avoir acheté ça (et elle m’a laissé rouler un peu). Cette couleur est spécialement conçue pour les filles, surtout lorsqu’il est utilisé pendant la nuit, les lumières LED des roues et des pédales clignoteront également en rouge, bleu et vert 3 couleurs, super cool, les enfants exhibent ce super cadeau partout.

Extremely disappointed. This seemed like a great hoverboard and yet here I am not even 6 months later and it won’t even turn on. The self balance stopped working about 3-4 months in and my daughter doesn’t even use it that much.

I reached out to GoTrax (since it was past Targets 90 day return period) and was told that their warranty only covers it for 90 days. Really? They can’t even stand by their product for more than 90 days? For almost $200 I would have expected so much more.

I now have a disappointed 10 year old and a pretty upset mama. This was a huge waste of money. I will NEVER buy from this brand again.

This was a gift for my 11-yr-old daughter to replace her previous hoverboard (different manufacturer). The previous one had terrible battery life and would beep incessantly. Complaining that it needed to be charged regardless of how much it had been.

Super frustrating. This one does none of that. It comes off the charger as it should, ready to go, and lasts for at least an hour of pretty steady use. She loves it. It’s also quite stylish and sturdy as well.

Sturdy enough for me, a 200 lb man, to ride without trouble.

I ordered the Hover-1 Blast Hoverboard for a grandchild to use. It seems to be quite the rage at our local skateboard park and he wanted one in the worst way. The Hover-1 board is rated for children above 8 years of age and wieghing between 44 and 160 pounds.

It comes with plenty of warnings about wearing safety gear while using it such as a helmut, knee and elbow pads, closed toe shoes, et al. The Hover-1 Blast has a 3 mile range at up to 7 mph, has 6. 5″ tires on wheels equipped with LED multi-colored lights, has two forward facing sensor headlights and its battery is shielded for fire and overheat protection.

It is UL certified. The Hover-1 Blast arrived fully charged and once the battery is depleted, takes up to 5 hours to recharge. There is a battery indicator located between the two foot pedals that shows the status of the battery’s charge state.

The two foot pedals have anti-slip pads on them for user safety. Under the footpads are four sensors. The user must stand on both footpads when riding the scooter or may vibrate or spin if weight and pressure are only applied to one footpad.

There is a start button located next to the power cord port that must be pushed to turn on the unit. The user must be prepared to step on both footpads at once to start the scooter moving. Good balance is a key and usually comes quickly with repeated use.

Kids are generally pretty capable of adjusting to the unit and tend to love using this scooter hoverboard. A safety feature of the Hover-1 Blast is notification of improper use by a beeping sound and flashing red light that goes off if the scooter is used on too steep a slope or encounters an obstruction that lasts longer than 5 seconds.

The beeping and flashing will continue until the user stops using the board and resets it by turning the power off then back on. Other hoverboards may offer nicer features, faster speeds and longer distance capabilities.

But for the money, this is a very nice starter board!.

If you do not want your child just playing with the cardboard box and leaving their Hoverboard in the corner, buy this Hoverboard or one with the rugged 8. 5 in wheels. This is the 3rd All Terrain hoverboard I have purchased since June.

My granddaughter loves it. It is very safe and sturdy. The bluetooth is a plus but not needed. We live outdoors most of the time. She can ride this board all over the grass and dirt for hours. The first one I purchased was a GoTrax SRX and it was awesome.

It got too hot in the sunlight and the battery would not power down. It kept running. The 2nd one said it was all terrain with 8 inch wheels. The wheels were slick. The hoverboard vibrated ferociously when not in balance.

Scared her to death. It sat in the corner until I got this one. Great Hoverboard. 7 people found this helpful.

Although we haven’t opened this yet as it’s an xmas gift for my Son, the experience with this seller has been nothing short of amazing. When the price lowered they refunded me the difference, when I had an inquiry about the shipping they were very fast at replying.

This has been an amazing experience from the beginning. Outstanding!.

We bought this hoverboard for our 12 year old who had limited experience and he was able to ride it immediately and loves playing on it. He shoots basketball hoops while on it with no issues at all. It goes through the grass and up street curbs (gently) without any problems.

It has a smooth ride and charges completely in about an hour. He also likes to play music on the speakers. They’re quite loud, much to his delight! We strongly considered buying one that was much more expensive and are glad we didn’t because he loves this one.

He weighs around 75 pounds so doesn’t put much stress on it.

Perfect gift for my grandson, he loved it once he got the hang of it. Something you need to know is the weight capacity is max 165. Basically it’s not for adults. lol Because he’s into Spiderman he was too excited, also it has Bluetooth features to play music while you roll around.

But the battery length is not that long, recharging happen frequently after the first charge.

My 11 yr old really enjoys the Bluetooth feature. I thought her feet would hang off of it but it doesn’t. I was just a little disappointed because she rode it inside the house on day one & it cracked after bumping my chair leg.

Santa brought this for my 8 year old son for Christmas and this thing rocks! Sturdy enough for Dad to try also. Great product.

I was surprised that the dimensions were smaller than I had imagined them to be. Otherwise, the hoverboard is great at doing what it is supposed to. There is a white light on the wheels, which I wasn’t expecting, but made the product look great while in use.

Easy to maneuver once you get the hang of it. Best used on a smooth surface though. Carpet is harder to move on. All in all though, Sturdy product design.

This hoverboard is so much fun. It travels plenty fast and the battery holds up for a good while. My 14 year old daughter rides it pretty much every day. It is also durable enough to handle my 200 pound body with ease.

The tires on it work great for outdoor use or indoor use. This is one of the more well made and durable hoverboards that I have ridden on. Very high quality and lots of fun to cruise around on.

This is Soooo FUN, I definitely recommend that everyone should give it a try!! I’m in my 20’s and I can’t get enough of it. It rides really smoothly, it charges quickly and me and my daughter have so much fun with them, after I tried it the first time I had to go out and buy a second one so that we both had one.

It’s something we enjoy doing together and it gets my daughter away from the electronics and up moving around. I love the mother-daughter time we have while using our hoverboards.

I thought the design was nice this was the first hoverboard my daughter ever used. She got the one in pink and it seems nice and glides smoothly. The tires were better then I expected them to be. We were disappointed upon opening that we couldn’t use it right away and it said to charge for a full 12 hours.

The other downside is this feels like a broken bone waiting to happen. I think with the foot piece you stand on not being connected to the other foot and moving on it’s own, makes it much more difficult for a child to balance on it.

I understand why it’s designed that way to be able to turn but it seems quite difficult and my daughter was too frustrated to learn. This is our first hoverboard like I mentioned so maybe they all are like that but this definitely requires patience and practice.

My almost 7 year old son absolutely loves this Razor Hovertrax X-ray!! He started off shaky when he first tried it and within the hour was ready to try tricks with it! My 2 teenage daughters already had experience using one and loved using this new model they said was so much more fluid than the older model they had a few years ago.

I even tried it at age 40, but it was far too shaky for me to get used to, but I don’t have great balance on such things like I used to. Now the only con we have is when trying to mount or dismount it can scare you away a bit as it can circle around if not pulling both feet off in the right motion.

It takes some getting used to doing it right otherwise you can twist a leg or foot up around it easily. Oh and don’t ever try and pick it up while it’s powered on we learned that the hard way it jerks around like a fish out of water! Other than those two things it’s a smooth ride that kids are sure to love the fun times, the bright lights that change colors, and the fluid movements and sensitivity to your body moving it around.

It was like an extension of their feet when they were on it, which was super impressive how smoothly it runs! I highly recommend using Helmut and knee pads for beginners outside until they are far used to it, as you can fall easily if you don’t get the concept right of getting on and off of it.

We got two of these for our boys. They last the 45 minutes of run time that they say they will. They are easy to charge but I had to look up what the lights mean. The lights will cycle through while charging on the hoverboard and when fully charged will show the green light.

The charger also has a LED that goes from red to green when fully charged. The owner’s manual has many tips to extend battery life so make sure to give that a look when you get it. The boys like the headlights on the hoverboards and that the lights tell them how charged they are so they don’t wind up dying before they have a chance to get back home with them.

In the picture the wheel cap is black but the ones we got are a nice silver with just black in the groves which looks even more nice. When riding in the house the wheels can rub off on walls and baseboards so be aware of that when your kids are learning and still running into things.

A magic eraser can fix that. Holding onto a door frame and going back and forth a couple inches at a time can help get the balance figured out. Helmets were a must in our house when they were figuring them out.

This has been the best hoverboard in it’s size and price range, that I have tried, to date. I got it for my son’s 6th birthday, 2 years ago. It has withstood the abuse that he and I have dishes out onto it.

We now use it in combination with a hoverboard cart, and it seems like an entirely new toy. The best part about this hover board, is that it is truly SELF BALANCING. Turn it on and it levels itself out before you even climb on it.

This cuts out the learning curve of having to activate/deactivate the board by stepping on/off the board. Getting on and off this board is so natural. Those ones with a pad you have to stand on before the board self balances, is a death trap.

My neighbor had one and wrecked badly when his foot came up enough, that the motor on that side cut off.

When it was a trend I used my hover board all the time and then I got older and it was left in my closet for god knows how long. And then the other day me and my sister decided to charge our hoverboards up, she has a jetson hover board and I have the razor one, only because my first three hover boards decided to break the same year.

Here’s charged but doesn’t start anymore and mine charged and took off as if it wasn’t in my closet for the longest time ever. Now I ride it around the house sometimes while my sister gets upset that her other brand hover board no longer works.

Hover board aren’t the trend anymore but if your looking for a hover board for some reason let me just tell you stop what your doing and just buy this one. I’m convinced that it’ll last forever at this point.

I don’t usually write reviews but this hover board definitely deserves one after such a long time!.

I bought my halo rover x a little over a year ago, and it has sadly stopped working now. When it died it had 1060ish miles so it lasted me a long long time of heavy abuse. I had over 1000 miles because I use it to walk my dog everyday.

Since it was broken I decided to buy a new hoverboard and break the old one. The plastic and the rims were very very durable. It took a 4 pound metal mallet and lots of force to break it. I got the GYROOR f1 and I am starting to realize how great of a hoverboard the halo rover is! I hate the new one.

I tried off-roading and going up a hill. The hill won. When I had this hoverboard, it conquered the hill with impressive speeds. I love the halo rover and I’m currently trying to take back my old one and get a new halo rover, but I don’t know if I can return my old one without a hassle.

I really hope that I’m able to get a halo rover again because it works very well. On my first full charge on the gyroor, it glitched out twice scratching the carbon fiber one the sides. It’s is way too sensitive when I try to turn but when I turned on my halo rover, I felt comfortable.

I also felt comfortable going higher speeds with the halo rover but not with the gyroor. The halo rover goes up hills very well, while the gyroor does not. Over all I would have to give halo rover the best review possible because I was so happy with the durability of the hoverboard.

I was a little worried about this purchase as it was more expensive than I wanted to spend but I have been completely satisfied with it. It has lived up to every expectation in every way. It has a very long lasting battery.

It is strong and sturdy. We have tried other cheaper hover boards over the last couple of years and have returned every one of them because they didn’t hold up to normal around the house use and needed to be charged often in one day.

We have not tried it outside yet as it is winter and we live in a very snowy area but it’s so powerful that I’m sure it will perform as promised. The customer care is also amazing. The case on our board had a few cracks around the screw areas and they replaced the case free of charge and also took care of shipping.

Amazing product…well worth the cost!.

I HAD TO SELECT 5 stars to get approved! TERRIBLE COMPANY, CUSTOMER SERVICE & PRODUCT! First let me start by saying I feel like I got robbed by the Halo company. I purchased a Rover X through their website.

Received it, and with in the same week of receiving and on the second use, it broke. There were cracks in the bottom shell casing. When I reached out to Halo, no one responded immediately, after about a week I reached back out.

I was told they would repair but would not refund or replace. I sent in the Rover to get fixed and it’s been two weeks and I have yet to receive it BUT I did receive an INVOICE for the repair. ONE, it’s supposed to be under a 12month warranty, TWO, this should NOT be happening on its second use and THREE, what kind of company thinks this is even A LITTLE BIT OK?! I also spoke to a halo representative (after many attempts of contact) and they explained this is something that happens often and he blamed it on the way it’s packaged when shipped out, and this happens often.

Yet, I’m receiving an invoice to pay for the repair. That being said, I DO NOT recommend this company OR it’s products. I’m not one to leave reviews, but after paying $500 for a total of 10minutes of use, is NOT OK and I would hate for anyone else to spend the money and it be for absolutely NOTHING.

It should not take several weeks to make contact with Halo. I shouldn’t have to reach out many times to make contact. And with products being this costly, there shouldn’t be issues taking care of your customers.

This customer service was absolutely horrendous.
