Whether it’s Christmas, birthdays or “just because,”
many parents are looking for a hoverboard for
their children. In fact, many people — ourselves included — feel like
there is a “Hoverboard Renaissance” coming soon, fueled in part by battery
technology improvements, stunning new designs and never-before-seen features. But
with all the hoverboards on the market loaded with various features and
functions, you’ll likely find yourself wondering which to pick? Should you go
for the Bluetooth hoverboard or the off-road hoverboard? Which one is more
suitable for your child?
Plus, sometimes, it seems kids have a tech language all
their own, and that certainly can apply to hoverboards. Don’t worry; we
have your back. Here’s a lowdown on the best hoverboards for kids available
from SWAGTRON®.
swagBOARD Twist Remix
The swagBOARD
Twist Remix has a powerful, robust motor and a lithium-free battery that’s
been designed with safety in mind, passing rigid electrical and charging
safety tests. The battery takes just five hours to charge, so put your little
one to bed, plug the hoverboard in, and it’s ready to go again when they
are.
Moving at speeds of up to 7 mph, this board is great for
zipping around the neighborhood. It has a child-friendly deck and can be used
almost anywhere. Plus, its water-resistant casing and durability help it stand
up to all types of adventures.
A Note on Performance: Performance-based specs, including top speeds and range-per-charge, depend on a few variables. These include, but are not entirely limited to, such things as rider weight, pavement type, riding style and incline. A 200 lb. rider trying to climb a 20-degree incline might cruise a little slower than a 150 lb. rider on flat, even pavement.
What Makes It Good for Kids?
This hoverboard is excellent for children and beginners as
it auto-balances, making it easy to ride confidently. Both mounting and
dismounting are fairly straightforward because of this feature. With a little
practice, your child can quickly learn the correct balance and riding
techniques.
Also: who doesn’t love extra lights? Bright, colorful,
and eye-catching, this unique hoverboard can make your child the envy of
their friends. Equipped with LED lights, the swagBOARD
Twist Remix produces a rainbow of colors as your child rides, allowing
them to show off their personality. And parents love the LED headlights
that help kids see — and be seen — while cruising around the neighborhood in
low-light conditions.
The swagBOARD Twist
The swagBOARD
Twist has the same build and performance specs of the Remix. It has a
250-watt motor, can reach speeds up to 7 mph, and is built with the same
long-lasting durability. The only thing missing are the LED lights.
But it’s available in a choice of attractive colors
that still lets your child express their personality and is a great
entry-level hoverboard. It’s easy to learn proper balance techniques with this
board as it self-balances. The swagBOARD
Twist can be used on a variety of surfaces,
including winding paths and smooth pavements.
What Makes It Good for Kids?
The Twist has the same auto-balancing technology as the
Twist Remix. So mounting and dismounting will be easy-peasy for younger,
inexperienced riders.
swagBOARD T5
Our swagBOARD T5 uses
technology that helps it respond quickly for smoother navigation. It’s
lightweight and reaches speeds of up to 6.8mph. Like all self-balancing
boards, the T5 is controlled and steered by the rider’s balance, and the
deck has been specifically designed for smaller feet. The footpad is slip-safe
and offers excellent traction while riding. The swagBOARD T5 is great for both
on and off-roading as it has a robust motor and wheel stabilization, which
creates a smooth ride even on bumpy tracks.
What Makes It Good for Kids?
This hoverboard features a “learning mode” that limits the
upper speed of the hoverboard while increasing the response time. This helps beginner
riders focus on balance and control first. Once they’ve mastered the basics, they can
switch to standard mode and travel at faster speeds.
The Best Hoverboard For Kids, Ultimately
The swagBOARD
Twist Remix can provide hours of fun with its funky lights that
children of all ages love. The light-up swagBOARD Twist is one of
SWAGTRON’s best-selling boards. It will definitely be a winner on Christmas
morning.
For older kids, the swagBOARD T5 is
a perfect option. It creates a smooth ride and is easy to balance and learn to
ride, especially for beginners.

high-quality components and have industry-leading safety features, making them
