I would just like to say thank you to the awesome team at HX for providing my daughter with the best 21st birthday present. She never gets off it & loves the go kart attachment ( so do I ). All the great features & build quality make for the best experience. Once again thanks very much. Kind Regards, Ian. Show details
I bought the Phantom 2.0 for my 11yr old son a few months ago and he absolutely loves it …..it’s been great! Main reason for this review though, is the customer service surrounding both the purchase and the ongoing communication. Raising a support request is easy and the response time is consistently prompt and polite. Knowing that if there is an… Read more
issue, there is a responsive and helpful mechanism to rely on is reassuring. Highly recommend purchasing through them if you’re in doubt!
Great hoverboard my son loves it, we did have a small issue with one side that stopped working, the HX team issued a return slip and we sent it back and they fixed it up and had it back to us in under 2 weeks, Great after sales warranty support I can’t fault the support that’s been given with this product. You can’t get this type of help with other brands, definitely worth purchasing from someone that backs up their product! Show details · 1

The app does not work – I purchased this hoverboard as it enables me to control the speed via a 'dedicated app'. If only the app works. It crashes and their support team is frustrating to deal with. For the price of this product I expected better. Show details
TERRIBLE - DO NOT BUY FROM THEM – I bought my son a Hover Board 2.0 for Xmas 2020, which he saved and paid half of. It lasted 2 months before it started to show issues. I have tried contacting the company on several occasions via email and phone and have not had one reply. My son (7) is now left with a faulty product which he cant get fixed. What a way to ruin his want to keep working hard for nice things.

Disappointed – Bought this for my daughter only to get an email the next day to say there would be a four week wait?!?! I believe I was mislead as there was no where in the website that stated it was out of stock! Show details

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 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… Read more
with the quality of the hoverboard and how it can go off-road and over different terrains. Highly recommend this product!
Hi Guys, this is really amazing thing and changed our life. I bought it for my Daughter, arrived within 3 days and she loves it. Lots of features for beginners. App is great. Show details
My whole family absolutely love riding on the Hoverboard! It’s super fun, easy to use and the Bluetooth speakers are a huge hit! The kids also got the go kart attachment and love that too!! Highly recommend! My kids are 10 and 8 Show details
Great product to keep kids busy! – Perfect sized hoverboard for my 7 year old son. Product arrived charged and ready to ride! Spent 3 hours on it, once it arrived and used bugger all charge. Great product to keep kids busy and encourage time outside. Love that's it's all terrain making a great choice to ride around the yard, going from grass to the dirt driveway and around the road of our quiet street. Show details · 1

Great product and company – Hoverboards are great, easy to use and great quality product. bought 2 with go kart attachments for the kids and they love them, easy to change between hoverboard and go kart. Company was fantastic to deal with when one parcel was lost in the post, they couldn't do enough to help and get it sorted for us 10/10. Show details · 1
Love love love it!!! – Quick shipping, easy to ride only took 10 mins to learn. Had to have a go myself Love how there are lights and Bluetooth. My daughter is going to love it for Christmas I didn't want to stop riding it personally myself. The app is easy to use. Show details · 1
My kid loves this! – My son was barely off this from Xmas day to the day it started to develop a rattle a couple of weeks later. We contacted customer support and a few emails and calls later we’d sent the damaged hoverboard back and a replacement was on its way. Was pleasantly surprised with the quick response and their willingness to resolve the issue. Very happy… Read more · 1

Phantom 2 Hoverboard! Beast! – Just wanted to quickly jump in and recommend this AMAZING product from Santa! Kids have been on it Constantly since Christmas. It lasts for Ages! Incredibly intuitive device has allowed ALL AGES to ride it almost immediately! We go to the shops with it, friends houses, EVERYWHERE! Over Grass, bumps, rocks, twigs, this thing is a Beast!!

you're looking for a Hoverboard, then I have to say this Phantom 2 from HX is the Best that I've ridden! It is heavy, but we easily cover a good 10km before getting a battery warning. Relatively easy to carry (we've only run out once, while going up a steep hill that the kids can't even ride their bikes up!), and that was at the end of a days worth of riding in grass around the playground with friends! Holding in the middle was easy, and the kids even took turns holding it like a baby! Links to Bluetooth, and has Massive Output for Blaring Tunes! (or whatever you want to play through your phone - like Airplane Engine sounds as we were going down the Bike Path, for those extra special looks!!) Phone App displays Speed, and customises Light colours. Also allows switching to 'Kids mode', which seems almost impossible to fall off! Makes for an easy transition to Adult, or Full mode, where the acceleration is noticeably different, and a preference to the kids, once their confidence is up! Has been charging within 2hours, as we have been taking it out in the Morning, then taking it out again in the afternoon/evening after a midday charge most days, and app has shown fully charged each time we've taken it out the second time. Basically making a Full days worth of activities quite comfortably. - we've even taken the charger with us to friends, and charged it at friends to ensure we can get back. ;) Getting used to bumps is probably the hardest - it manages them without an issue, but the intuition to lift your foot to step over obstacles is amusingly difficult to fight, making for the only real challenge for learning how to ride. Overall, I have to say that it is the best device to wow friends and family with future travel. It's like stepping into the Future, and getting a taste of what the Modern Bicycle will be. ;) Highly recommend for any age capable of walking! (We've had a 3year old manage it - tho, I wouldn't generally recommend it openly! .. this is a private message, right?) If you're looking for that Special Gift, go get yourself a Phantom 2 Hoverboard from HX, their Customer Service is EXCELLENT! (having confirmed details with Santa delivery and assurances.) ;) Go have some fun! Don't be scared! This is such an easy board, once you've got the confidence to simply step up on to it, and let it take you to WhereEver you desire to go (sparring steps)! *8vD

My first experience dealing with this company – Really dissapointed. Paid for 10inch panther then got email saying they out of stock and want to offer me something else. Yet when I checked the website it is still advertised for sale which is very misleading. Communication was poor it took several phone calls and emails of me to chase them about the refund.
Hello Jessie, so sorry for the incorrect information on the… Read more
My son absolutely loves his new Hoverboard – Purchased the new Hx hover board for my son. The service iv'e have through this company has been outstanding. The hover board it's self is fantastic quality and the sound system speakers are mind blowingly louds. We got the 10inch hover board its stylish and looks cool. Customer service is outstanding. And minor issues were resolved quickly.… Read more
Ie protective rubber strips were not in the box but promptly sent out .power cord was American but an aussie adaptor was placed in the box and they sent the correct Aussie power cord the following week.
Yes the hover board is expensive, but consider this that the cheap versions do not last and the amount of times u have to return them due to issues will leave u disappointed. So in essence you pay for what u get.
The HX hover board in my opinion is the BEST value for money that you can buy. And as for the customer service well I only wish more business were like them. . Absolutely fantastic customer service.
Razor Hovertrax 2.0 – Did a lot of research and ended up buying this, a key factor being the words "NEW" "Quick Change Battery Pack with Genuine LG Cells." There wasn't a spare battery pack in the box, nor were there instructions on how to change it in the manual. They answered my email saying there is no spare battery, and gave me instructions on how to change one if… Read more · 1
I decide to buy a spare. Doesn't quite match the box description. Having said that, the product is good, the charger and battery don't overheat. It goes well. The Manual emphasises safety first, read and understand, which is terrific, and gives a good understanding of how it works and what it can and cannot do. I've already got it going round the house and along the walkways, all smooth surfaces. It's a lot of fun.
Excellent Customer Service – We haven't tried our overboard yet as its under the christmas tree but a review is warrantied. I ordered early and was becoming concerned with no tracking number being provided. Yes I was concerned as some reviews were negative in reference to communication from the supplier. I must say I found the communication to be not only friendly but also… Read more
helpful, clear and of a high level. As any normal business that uses a 3PL to deliver there stock I could understand there had been some delays which were out of their control. But they took control and followed up and made it happen. Communicating with me on days as promised. They took the time to explain what was happening and where my order was at. Luke in particular was outstanding and his follow through is to be commended, thorough and prompt. Would happily order with confidence again.
Got Wrong Hoverboad – I ordered the 10 inch Blue Hoverboard for my daughter for Christmas. I was so excited to have something different than the standard Hoverboad. I received it and I received the 6.5 inch Blue Hoverboad. I called and couldn’t get anyone on the phone as it says to leave a message but no one will call you back. I finally chatted with someone online… Read more
and they said there was nothing they could do as they are out of the 10 inch. Do not order as this was clearly a bait and switch trick. I will be reporting it to the BBB.

Endless fun and very safe – We have owned our hover board for six months and it’s still a firm favourite with my 11 year old son. It’s well made and with a speed setting also very safe. He loves riding it both off road and on foot paths and we even used it to cover distances trick or treating. The blue tooth speakers are fun; I’m just not a fan of the loud American accent… Read more
when he goes over the speed setting. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a long lasting and unusual gift for your child.
Communication really poor – I preordered 2x hover boards so they could arrive before xmas last year (ordered in Sept). The communication was so poor that I was thinking it was all a scam. The hover boards did arrive Christmas eve and one was the wrong colour and faulty. When i tried to contact the company they ignored my emails and i could not get ahold of anyone via… Read more
telephone. I had to involve fair trading and then i was finally answered and was sent a return postage page to send back the faulty hoverboard and received the new one a month later. Bit of a bummer for my kids to have a faulty item on xmas morning and to able to use it, and then have to wait another 2mos for the replacement.
Customer service needs to up their game and treat people with a bit of respect when they spend over a thousand dollars.

Fantastic! Hours of entertainment for my boys – After all the negative press about hoverboards I was wary when I purchased the HoverX. It has been wonderful, and all my reservations disappeared rapidly, my son has used it so much, great value for money, looks great and he can listen to music at the same time! Get one for Christmas!!
Life Saver! – I bought this because I really wanted it before they you know disappear for good. Since being injured and all it has really helped me to get around the house a lot and it's a big place. It also helps me use my legs especially when one of my ankles has a torn ligament. Sometimes it's painful but I'd rather ride around on one of these bad boys then… Read more
limp or crutch to my destination. I really love the HX Phantom Hoverboard to a point where I actually recommended it to friends and family by showing them my hoverboard and they actually want one
Fantastic Quality – We have had this hoverboard for 10 months and it is a fantastic product. It has great battery life and is very quiet and easy to use. I would definitely recommend this hoverboard.
