We got the HX Phantom Hoverboard for our fifteen year old son, for Christmas last year and it was the best gift idea ever to gift to a teenager and… Read more
getting them off the screens and out of the house! My son loves the Bluetooth feature that he can connect his favourite music and controls the lighting as he cruises on the hoverboard. Very impressed with the quality of the hoverboard and how it can go off-road and over different terrains. Highly recommend this product!
Top service & quality – My son who is 8, absolutely loves his hover board. He has found it easy & smooth to use and I was amazed at how quickly he was able to stand up and control it. It is a quality product and would highly recommend the company and product they provide. Show details
The Hoverboard from 'Hoverland' arrived as advertised and as a toy it brings joy around the house but I am dissapointed with the performance. Don't… Read more
go for the upgrades, they're not worth it.
The advertising says "Up to 15 km travel distance". In our test, with my light nine year old riding it, on a fully charged battery at a gentle pace, on even, flat, smooth boardwalk we found that the batteries gave out after 2.5 kms.... in less than half an hour. This is 6x less than advertised performance. I cannot imagine any scenario that would yield anywhere close to advertised 15km travel distance. I paid significantly more to get the higher powered off road version with 2 x 3.5 Kw engines, however there is no way to verify that this is what actually arrived because there is no product sticker or marking of any kind to identify the model or allow verification of the enhanced engine wattage. Given the super exaggerated performance claims, this doesn't inspire confidence. My logic was,... I want him to be able to ride his hoverkart on grass so I'll pay more for the off road version and get the extra power needed for that (with the larger 3.5Kw motors). This proved to be flawed logic, if I could do it all again I would buy the standard 8 inch or 6.5 inch version. A friend of my son has a cheaper, 'non offroad' version of a Hoverboard that his family purchased online, (not sure which retailer they purchased from, but its paint and design is exactly like the designs offered by Hoverland). When he uses his Hoverboard with his hovercart he gets significantly more run time than my son and it goes just as well 'off road' as ours does. Also be aware if you buy the 'hoverKart' accessory, you will void their warranty for the hoverboard. Note re the Hover Karts: we got one with suspension, ... a waste of time, even the springiest setting is too stiff, there is virtually no smoothing of the ride. My son's friend has a cheaper kart without suspension, not only is it lighter but it also allows him to ride closer to the ground which is an altogether better experience. If I could do it again I would buy the cheaper kart, it functions better. When it comes to hoverboards and accessories, I learnt the hard way that the upgrades are better at milking a demand, than they are at satisfying that demand. Go cheap, its just as cheerful.
