The best children's hoverboard with 4.5 inch wheels
Our rating begins with a study of the advantages and disadvantages of a model popular among boys and girls Novelty Electronics L1-C... She gained fame with a spacious, comfortable and non-slippery platform, a housing made of environmentally friendly plastic, weighing 5 kg and recharging in one hour. But you can't go far with this transport, a maximum of 10 km can be overcome on one charge. The main advantage is the carrying capacity of up to 70 kg and good power for a child's model.

Best 6-inch hoverboard
In this nomination, the first place is taken by WMOTION WM6... Compared to Novelty Electronics L1-C, it can travel up to 20 km on a single charge, but the maximum speed is the same - 10 km. This product can be used by people weighing up to 100 kg. The 1.5 hour charge also leaves a lot to be desired. 6-inch wheels ride smoothly on the road and do not get stuck in shallow holes. The body length is 58 cm and the weight is 10 kg, which creates inconvenience in carrying, for example, in a backpack.The charging connector is in the access zone, and the end of it is warned in advance by sound and light signals. For driving in the dark, there are LED headlights.

- Suitable for beginners;

Their production from solid rubber and the absence of the need for inflation simplifies the care of the product. Riding comfortably even at a slight angle due to the system of 3 boards, which simplifies the control. On a single charge with a battery with a capacity of 4.4 mAh, the mini-segway travels up to 18 km. It takes 1.5 hours to replenish it.

The best 10.5 inch hoverboard
Balance PRO PREMIUM 10.5 V2 - this is the second model in our rating from the company Smart... Despite the low cost (for 2024, about 9,000 rubles), the engine power here is 1 kW, which is 20-50% more than that of analogues from the TOP. I am not happy that it takes 2 hours to charge, but the weight of 13.5 kg for 10.5-inch wheels is the norm. The range on a single charge is 20 km, which is comparable to the maximum speed developed. The set includes a cover for storing the product, but its quality leaves much to be desired. Bluetooth and LED lighting make riding comfortable.
Advantages
- Automatic balancing;
- Large wheels;
- Backlight;
- Good sound;
- Distance covered without recharging;
- Wide, easily inflated wheels.
disadvantages
- Thin handles for the bag included;
- Large weight;
- Loud beep when Bluetooth is turned on.
The Balance PRO PREMIUM 10.5 V2 adult hoverboard can also be used on uneven roads due to its large wheels.
Which hoverboard is better to buy
The optimal weight of such products is up to 10 kg, depending on the diameter of the wheels, the larger they are, the larger it is. This is important if you plan to often take it with you, for example, on the road. It is these models that can overcome easy off-road conditions, and all the rest are designed for use in good coverage conditions. For a pleasant ride, it is important to have Bluetooth speakers, and for safety - backlights. For children, the maximum mileage should be no more than 10-15 km, in the case of adults, these figures can be increased to 25 km.

- For beginners, you can start by riding a mini-segway Smart Balance Wheel SUV 10 Premium yellow graffiti.
- If all family members plan to ride - both a child over 10-15 years old, and parents, then the Wmotion WM8 model will be a universal option.
