The maximum speed is the fastest a hoverboard can travel, when not fully loaded. Many hoverboards have an average top speed of approximately 7 miles per hour, but some, like the Onewheel GT, can go as fast as 20 miles per hour. More experienced riders will enjoy higher max speeds that allow you to rip around. But the faster you’re moving, the harder it is to learn, so beginners might consider an option with lower maximum speeds. Wheel size affects stability and maneuverability,” says Mast. Larger wheels, which are 8 inches or more in diameter, offer a smoother ride, while smaller wheels—around 6.5 inches in diameter—are more compact and agile, he explains. Anything smaller is suitable for kids, but not adults.

Wheel size isn’t the only thing that matters: The texture and tread pattern determine where you can and can’t go. For example, the Gyroor Warrior has deep lugs that provide grip on dirt and uneven surfaces, while the OneWheel GT has a super smooth tire built for cruising on pavement. Build Quality

Because hoverboards rely on large lithium-ion batteries for power, they run the risk of spontaneously combusting, which is why it’s important to invest in models that are reviewed by third-party testers and receive high marks for quality and reliability. Are Hoverboards Waterproof? It’s all in the lean — Use your core rather than your head or upper body to control the hoverboard for a smoother riding experience.With the exception of some rather oddball models (like Segway’s Ninebot Drift W1 “hoverskates”), most hoverboards look similar from one model to the next, so you won’t generally choose one based on aesthetics. Instead, here are a few criteria you should keep in mind when shopping the best hoverboards. Safety Certifications

Also consider the motor—the more powerful it is, the faster it’ll go, and the steeper an incline it should be able to handle. But a powerful motor may be a safety hazard for the overzealous rider—the fast acceleration can be difficult to handle. And if you’re shopping for a hoverboard for children, a powerful motor may be overkill. Battery Life/Range Although riding the GT might appear akin to skateboarding, the experience really feels more like snowboarding. With one foot on either side of the central wheel, you lean in all four directions to accelerate, slow down and turn. This well-designed board features concave footpads with grip tape to help you stay put as you ride, and adjustable, 500-lumen headlights so you can ride safely at night. While the price tag is too high for many riders, this board is ideal for those who want to dive into the sport and ride regularly.
