Hover-1 | Rival Black Electric Self Balancing Scooter Hoverboard with LED Headlights 6.5 Wheels Hoverboard for Kids

Product Information

Some brands create hoverboards for adults and children, whilst other companies specialise in boards just for kids. If you want peace of mind that you’re buying a safe hoverboard, look for either CE or UL markings. These verify that the product lives up to European (CE) or American (UL) safety standards, as verified by third-party testing. Also, look for models that use branded batteries from household names such as Samsung or Panasonic – these should be safer and more reliable than unbranded models. Also, make sure your hoverboard comes with a mains plug for the UK. If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list.

You can’t beat a video review. As we mentioned earlier, one of the downsides to buying online is the inability to actually see and test the product. This is where videos can really help to bridge the gap and give you an almost just as good alternative.
