All of our HOVERBOARD® boards come with full CE certification so they are as safe as they can be. Further to this, we test every single board individually before we dispatch them.

Yes, all of the HOVERBOARD® self-balancing boards that we sell come with a 1-year warranty.

No, our warranty does not cover water damage, so any damage caused as a result of water damage cannot be repaired free of charge.

Yes, you can ride a HOVERBOARD® product on grass, however, we do not recommend using it on wet/damp grass as the moisture can get in the board which would cause faults as it is still an electrical item. This would void the warranty of the board as water damage is not covered by the warranty.

All of our HOVERBOARD® products have passed the required certifications to ensure that they are as safe as they can be. We have never had any issues of any exploding boards since we launched in 2015. Although other manufacturers’ products have been known to explode, this is due to the fact that they were not tested and didn’t pass any safety specifications prior to being sold.

On full charge the length of time a board lasts depends on things such as the way it is used, where it is used and how it is used. For example, if it is being used at full speeds turning around corners constantly this will deplete the battery quicker. Also on rougher terrain the battery is depleted quicker. When the boards are used with the HoverKart attachment the battery life is reduced as this takes a lot more power to use.

The boards are designed for anybody over the weight of 30kg+. However the smaller boards such as the Fly, Fly Plus and Vanguard have not had encountered any issues when users at 20kg have used them.

The Bluetooth feature on our self-balancing boards are good for connecting to your phone to use it as a speaker for your music.

There is no limit to how far they can go. It depends on the battery life. Fully charged they will last around 1 and a half hours.

Internally, all of our boards are the same, so they will all travel at the same speed and turn the same etc. The ‘best’ HOVERBOARD® would differ from each person. Over rougher and tougher terrain the best HOVERBOARD® would be the Drifter and the Monster. However, on flat surfaces the Fly, Fly Plus and Vanguard are all as good as the Drifter and Monster.

With our electric scooters there is no real age that you need to be to ride them. As long as you weigh enough the board is good for most ages as long as the user is at least 20kg for the smaller models and 30kg for the bigger models.

The best size wheel depends on where the board will be used. If you will be going over rough and thick terrain then we would recommend going for 8.5” model (Drifter) or 10” Model (Monster)

Our HOVERBOARD® product range from 12KM-16KM (Excluding speed with Kart attached)

Yes, you can ride it on most carpets, however the 6.5” models might struggle on thick rugs.

We would recommend any weight between 20kg and 100kg. Anything over this weight may cause the weight sensors which are used to operate the board to malfunction.

We have 3 different sized wheels. We have 6.5” models, an 8.5” Model and a 10” model.

Our HOVERBOARD® weigh between 12kg and 18kg.

All of our boards go through the same testing process, so all of our boards are as safe as each other. But beware other manufacturers selling uncertified boards at cheap prices.

If you leave your HOVERBOARD® charging overnight you run the risk of it overheating, it would be best to keep an eye on it while it charges. Our products only take 2-3 hours maximum to charge anyway.

It is not a necessity to wear a helmet. But for those that do want extreme safety for their kids we do have a safety kit which can be purchased on our website and can be found in the accessories section.

This varies on the user. Some riders grasp it immediately and are off and running fairly quickly. Some take a little longer. However, there are tutorials on YouTube which can be used to help with this process.

Our HOVERBOARD® chargers will have a green light appear on them once the board is fully charged. Once the board is fully charged the charger will automatically cut off to prevent it overheating.

500,000 products from different manufacturers have blown up in the past. However, this was because they didn’t need to pass any CE certifications to be sold. Whereas now, to be able to sell self-balancing boards, they must pass certain CE certification tests, which every one of our products has passed. Therefore, our products have never blown up, even since our launch in 2015.

We sell many different types of HOVERBOARD® products, varying from different sized tyres, different colours and designs. The type of board you want depends on your needs and what you look for in Hoverboard, for example, style, speed or advanced features. A common use for most new users includes the karts which is an attachment that enables you to use the HOVERBOARD® product as a go kart. This attachment once constructed only takes around 30 seconds to put on and off.

We do not recommend that you use the self-balancing board around any water. This is because water damage is not covered by the warranty so any faults caused as a result of water damage would make the repair chargeable.
