It would be an understatement to say that hoverboards are the new gift that keeps on giving. They are the most demanded things from Santa and what people talk about when asked “What was your favorite gift this year?”.

To help you, navigator, your options, here are some things you should consider before making your decision on which one to put under the tree this year.

How to choose the right hoverboard

Hoverboards come in different shapes, sizes, and abilities. With a plethora of options, it can be hard to know which is right for you. To help cut down on the decision-making process, these are the key things you should consider.

Minimum Weight Requirements.
Each hoverboard model has its minimum weight requirement that needs to be met by the rider. This requirement ensures the rider can use the hoverboard safely and correctly.

Check for Safety Certifications.
One thing to be on the lookout for is a UL certification. UL is a company that tests a wide variety of products for customers all around the world to ensure they meet safety standards.

Wheel Size.
The size of the wheel determines where the hoverboard can be ridden. Smaller wheels are best suited for urban, and city travel while larger wheels are great for all-terrain hoverboarding.

Now that you have insights into what to be on the lookout for, you are ready to start shopping for your next hoverboard.

Below is a list of hoverboards we are sure any child would love to see under the tree this year.

What Type of Pump Works on My SWAGTRON Hoverboard, Electric Bike and Electric Scooter? https://swagtron.com/news/what-type-of-pump-works-on-my-swagtron-hoverboard-electric-bike-electric-scooter/ Sat, 20 Nov 2021 19:07:00 +0000 https://swagtron.com/?p=547260 We work hard to make sure our SWAGTRON® electric bikes, electric scooters, and hoverboards are not only fun but also easy to maintain and high on convenience. That’s why our eBikes, electric scooters and, hoverboards are fitted with air-filled tires using Schrader valves.

These valves are similar to the valves found on your car tires. It was important to us that you would be able to go anywhere that had a standard air pump and be able to refill your tires without any extra hassle. Our eBikes and electric scooters can be filled at most gas stations, sporting goods shops, and some local stores.

Closeup of guy using a bike pump on their bike tire.

How Much Air Should I Put in My Scooter or eBike Tires? 

The owner’s manual that came with your SWAGTRON product will tell you the optimal tire pressure. The sidewall of your tire will have a number stamped on it, and it will probably be higher than the recommended pressure in the owner’s manual. This is because the tire sidewall number states the maximum pressure the tire can handle, whereas the owner’s manual number reflects the optimal tire pressure. 

All SWAGTRON product manuals can be found on our FAQ pages or by following this link. SWAGTRON Product Manuals.

Even then, use the owner’s manual number as a guide rather than gospel. Play around with the tire pressure until you find the most comfortable ride. The air in your tires may expand on hot days, so it might pay to deflate them 2-3 PSI. Since all body types are different, you might find different PSIs perform better depending on body weight. Just don’t stray too far from the booklet recommendation, and especially don’t exceed the tire-sidewall number. 

Will a Bike Pump Work on My SWAGTRON eScooter or eBike? 

It might.

There are two major kinds of valves. We already mentioned the Schrader valve because it’s found in SWAGTRON products. The other common valve type is the Presta valve. Presta valves were made for street-style, thin wheel bike tires and are about half as wide as Shrader valves. They also don’t have a check-valve pin in the center like the Shrader valve. 

READ MORE ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRESTA AND SCHRADER VALVES HERE.

If your bike pump is a Presta-only pump, it won’t fit around your tires’ Schrader valves. The good news is many modern bike pumps are made to service both kinds of valves. Included in these pumps are:

  • Twin-head pumps, which come with both a Presta and a Schrader gasket
  • Swappable-head pumps, which have an adjustable gasket that can be altered to fit either kind of valve
  • Adjustable-head pumps, which feature a head that requires no alteration. Just press firmly on either kind of valve and pump

Why Shrader Valves? Aren’t They for Cars?

Close-up of guy using gas station air pump to air-up his bicycle.

Yes, these valves are for cars, but other things use them as well. We chose this valve for one reason, convenience. With this valve, you have several options for refilling your tires other than carrying around a pump.

Most of the following places have air pumps that support this valve, gas station air machines, sporting goods shops, and most auto stores.

So, no matter where you are, you will always have local support options available for refilling your eScooters or eBikes tires.

Just make sure, however, you’re not approaching the maximum pressure stated on the tire sidewall when topping off your tires’ air. Doing so could result in a tire blow-out.

Best Hoverboards Deals For Teenagers: Black Friday 2021 https://swagtron.com/news/best-hoverboards-for-teens/ Thu, 04 Nov 2021 20:31:00 +0000 https://swagtron.com/?p=539238 It’s undeniable that hoverboards are a fast, fun and affordable way to deliver hours upon hours of fun for teens looking for an excuse to get out and stay active. But not all hoverboards are built the same. Whether you end up as a YouTube fails clip or the next Instagram influencer depends on which board you choose. An overview of this year’s best hoverboards for teenagers reveals important factors, such as price, quality, and functionality.

For teens, the hoverboard is more than just a means of transport — it’s part of their swagger. So, while you’re ticking the boxes in terms of what attributes your hoverboard needs, it’s worth adding a few must-haves: that special pop of color, superb finishes, and unique style and design flourishes.

Questions to ask yourself before selecting your ride include: 

  • What are the basic design features? 
  • What is the maximum load capacity? 
  • Does it have any special features? 
  • Will it give me those extra brownie points with my friends? 
  • Will I be completely broke after purchase? 

Some of the best days of your life will be spent on a hoverboard; however, great hoverboard days are safe hoverboard days. Be sure to check the weather, wear your safety gear, and remain well within the safety limitations of your board. 

Best Hoverboards for Music Lovers

A teen without their music is like a pumpkin spiced latte without the spice. Or the pumpkin. Or the latte. In other words: unimaginable! While it’s possible to listen to tunes on your phone, you risk your music getting lost in the fray — even when you have the volume cranked up. Thankfully, you can opt for the swagBOARD T580 Warrior Bluetooth® hoverboard that not only produces popping beats but also LED lighting, ensuring the party is wherever you are.

Priced comfortably in the mid-level ranges, you can expect to pay between $100 and $200. There is also a wide range of amazing colors to choose from.

And it comes with a 5-year battery performance promise!

Best Hoverboard For Beginners

If you’re new to the hoverboard game and still finding your feet, it helps to go with a hoverboard that won’t distract you. The swagBOARD T5 Classic is the ideal choice as an entry-level board. While priced between the $100 (for recertified) and $200 range, special offers often drop the price even lower. The hoverboard is UL certified, which gives you peace of mind that quality and safety have been thoroughly checked by a third party.

The board is easy enough for beginners to learn, and the settings enable further flexibility that keeps experienced boarders entertained, too. Switching to “learning mode,” for example, lowers the top speeds and increases the sensitivity of the navigation sensors. The result is a hoverboard riding mode that favors control over speed until the rider feels comfortable riding in “standard mode.”

  • Top Speed: 8 MPH
  • Range per Charge: 7 miles
  • Max. Capacity: 187.4 lb.

Best for Those Who Want More 

If you’re the type who spends hours in line waiting to buy the latest, dopest gadget, then a simple hoverboard won’t do. You want features and baubles that make your friends ooh and aah as you whizz by.

The swagBOARD T580 Vibe Bluetooth hoverboard offers the option to listen to music through dynamic Bluetooth speakers. Users can download the SWAGTRON® app to access unique features on their smartphone or handheld device, such as the advanced driving feature.

The board features 6.5-inch rubber wheels that not only provide a smooth ride but also a stable one. This is a particularly popular model and has reached top sales for two years running. It’s priced between the $100 (for recertified) and $230 range.

Best for Long Term Use

While it’s natural to want the newer, shinier model as it hits the shelf, the swagBOARD T380 Elite offers that extra bit of durability. This allows a slightly heavier load of up to 220 pounds, larger than most other hoverboard capacity limits. The board is also sturdier and slightly heavier, adding to its stability—especially when riding on bumpy surfaces. The board is a mid-ranger and is priced anywhere from $150 (for recertified) to $250. This board is a good choice for those who may want it during the transition years, from child to teenager or teenager to adult.

Best for Powerful Simplicity

It’s not often you’ll find a hoverboard that boasts the ability to climb walls. However, the powerful 250W hub motors allow the swagBOARD Duro to scale inclines up to 30 degrees. This is the ideal party trick for those who want to stand out from the crowd. Its sleek design and elegant lines can only hint at the power this little number contains. If hoverboards were compared to cars, this would be the Aston Martin of hoverboards. While it allows greater flexibility, it also happens to be a favorite among beginners, thanks to its strength and durability afforded by SentryShield® quantum layered technology.

Hoverboard Holiday Gift Guide 2021: Best Kids Hoverboards https://swagtron.com/news/best-hoverboards-for-kds-age-7-to-11/ Wed, 03 Nov 2021 20:06:00 +0000 https://swagtron.com/?p=534524 Summer has come and gone, and we are reaching that time of year again where the same thought is on all our minds. “What does my child want for Christmas?”. In recent years, hoverboards have taken the world by storm and have been the “I-gota-have-it” gift every child wants.

Hoverboards make an amazing surprise gift that would make any child a ball of excitement on Christmas morning. Not the question is, “which one do I get?”. Just as kids come with different personalities and styles, so do hoverboards.

To help you choose the right hoverboard for your child’s Christmas present, we have put together a simple buyers guide below to help answer the question of “Which one?”.

A Few Keys to Choosing the Right Hoverboard

Before you go shopping for hoverboards, there are a few questions you should ask yourself first.

1. How much does my child weigh?

This is important because hoverboards have a minimum weight requirement. If your child does not meet the minimum weight requirement, they could run into issues affecting the speed and balance of the hoverboard.

2. Where is your child going to be riding the hoverboard?

Hoverboards have different wheel sizes that go with different environments and terrain. The general rule is the rougher terrain, the larger the tier.

  • 6.5 inch are for flat surfaces only.
  • 6.5 inch wheels and above are ok for rougher surfaces like concrete and pavement.
  • 10 inch wheels are the best ones for off road hoverboarding.

In addition, make sure your child has the right protective gear to fully enjoy their hoverboard ride. That includes a helmet as well as elbow and knee pads.

Now onto the fun part: picking that perfect hoverboard. Each of the following hoverboards varies in size, shape, durability, speed and color. While there are many hoverboard manufacturers available, SWAGTRON® hoverboards are unparalleled in looks, features and, above all, fun rides.

Staying Active, Commuting and eRiding During COVID-19 https://swagtron.com/news/staying-active-riding-hoverboard-electric-bike-scooter-during-covid-19/ Wed, 18 Nov 2020 19:25:17 +0000 https://swagtron.com/?p=531650 Breathing in energizing fresh air, getting a good workout to keep the body in top condition and experiencing the world around you — you already know these are essential to your well-being. Getting out and riding your LEV (light electric vehicle) during COVID-19 can help you tap into the mood-lifting benefits of staying active, so you keep your spirits raised and your body fit. So this could be anything from your eBike to an electric scooter—even hoverboards and electric skateboards. These are all ways you can get out, stay active and having fun, even during these unprecedented times.

SWAG TIP: Remember to check with your local ordinances on their recommendations/requirements for safe social distancing and physical distancing. This includes curfews, mask mandates, etc. And continue to stay 6 feet from others when possible.

eBiking During COVID-19

If your main objective is to burn calories and break a sweat, an electric bike is simply unbeatable. Depending on how much you want to feel the burn (if at all), you can have the electricity provide a little more or less of the thrust.

First, you can pedal fast and furious to give your body a fitness-boosting workout. Then, as you catch your breath, you can cruise along, taking in the sights and letting the world outside work its cheer-giving magic. And “cruise along” is quite literal. Several SWAGTRON® eBikes, like the EB7 Plus and the EB5 Pro, have a cruise control function you can toggle to maintain a steady pace effortlessly. 

Using your eBike to explore is an experience goldmine on its own. Sure, things have changed during these times. But you can still enjoy a ride around town, peppering your day with small, familiar moments to give it color.

The long-range EB7 Plus eBike is perfect for commuting and exploring.

Finding the space to fit your eBike and getting it to the outdoors is easy as you stay active during COVID-19. Folding eBikes are delightfully inconspicuous on the train, light and portable in hand, and rather unnoticeable at the office (until it’s time to go home). 

And, hey, why not take this time to bike into areas of your town or city you’ve never visited before? You never know what hidden gems have been under your nose this whole time. 

Physical Distancing on eScooters 

Electric scooters are great for keeping your feet firmly planted while you feel the sensation of the wind against your face. Speed-wise, you can enjoy a range that starts at a perfectly adequate 6.2 mph and reaches an exciting 18 mph. That makes it convenient to pair your exercise or relaxation with running your errands, especially if adapting to COVID-19 has tightened your schedule.

Just lean forward, handlebars gripped, eyes focused, and zoom forward to your speed-craving heart’s content. Or you can ride at a more relaxed pace, letting the abundant fresh air fill your lungs, simply enjoying the outdoor atmosphere with a deeper sense of quiet. 

Those benefits for the mind are half the experience. Your body takes part in the action, with one leg doing some amount of kicking if you prefer, and the other helping with stability.

As you stand and keep your body aligned with your electric scooter, you may experience a gradual strengthening of your core. That’s a welcome benefit at this time, particularly if you’re spending more time than usual sitting at home. 

What you’ll need to focus most on, however, is the actual “distancing” part of “physical distancing.” After all, your city might have specific guidelines on where you can ride an eScooter, e.g., sidewalk or bike lane or sharing the road. If you’re riding with friends, a lot of the time you’ll be riding single file. But don’t let that stop you!

Hoverboards: When You Need to Escape

Maybe you’re the type to give your feet all the control. In which case, do away with pedals and handlebars, and step right onto a hoverboard. Whether you’re heading out to satisfy your desire for fast movement or you prefer to crawl around and relax, speeds ranging between 6.8 and 12 mph make it all possible. 

If, like most people, you’ve been sitting for longer than usual, standing while you ride on a hoverboard may help you maintain your posture. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself strengthening your core while having loads of fun with friends. And same as with electric scooters, you may have to deal with physical distancing concerns, especially if there’s a team of you and not a wide sidewalk to ride on. But once you get to an open space or park, that no longer matters!

Get Moving with Electric Skateboards 

Step out on one of these, and you’re guaranteed fun. With a remote in hand to keep all the controls intuitive and close together, or simply with your feet giving all the commands, electric skateboards add their own spin to helping you experience the outdoors, also offering an alternative to eBiking during COVID-19. 

Off-road models provide the right balance between support and adrenaline-pumping quivers if you enjoy the bumps of rough or hilly terrain. 

Again, both mental and physical benefits are on the table here. For relaxation and a sense of calm, you can just ride with few turns or bends. To focus and give yourself a break from all that’s going on, try riding where you have to swivel and swerve, keeping the mind alert and focused. 

AI-enabled models, such as the SWAGSKATE NG2, sense weight distribution, acceleration changes, and incline shifts, giving you a real sense of intelligent support and an overall richer experience.

COVID-19 has changed lifestyles to varying degrees. Thankfully, it’s possible to retain some control over how you feel and maintain your body. Nature and the free outdoors are still there, and SWAGTRON products are ready to liven up the experience. Look through the options and models and pick one to help you exercise and elevate your mood. It’s a double win.

What is the Best Hoverboard for Adults? https://swagtron.com/news/the-best-hoverboard-for-adults/ Thu, 22 Oct 2020 19:29:41 +0000 https://swagtron.com/?p=528755 Why should kids have all the fun? Adults have been looking to get in on the hoverboard action for years. And with the upcoming “Hoverboard Renaissance,” there’s plenty of opportunities for grown men and women to get in on that action. After all, there’s a variety and abundance of options now available. Riders naturally gravitate to the hoverboard that best matches their fav riding style and unique tastes. But that doesn’t stop one question from popping up: Which adult hoverboard beats them all? Which one, from the many options out there, takes the bragging rights?

Best Hoverboard for Adults

When deciding on the best adult hoverboard, certain factors play a crucial role in crafting the riding experience. These include: 

  • Range 
  • Speed
  • Comfort 
  • Price
  • Portability

Swagtron® T6 Off-Road Hoverboard

One of the best hoverboard for adults is the Swagtron T6. It earns the #1 spot for the sheer number of boxes it ticks:

  • 10” wheels
  • 420 lb. rider limit
  • All-terrain, air-filed tires
  • Bluetooth

And it does this at a surprising price point. The T6 delivers speed, range and ruggedness that fears no urban terrain. Its sturdy build and serious aesthetic hints that it can easily go off-road, and this hoverboard makes use of the allowance it gets from its meant-for-business design to give the rider’s feet extra comfort space.

The award-winning swagBOARD T6 hoverboard — go big or go home.

The speed alone will make you the envy of all the other “big kids” on the block, as the T6 is able to reach 11.9 mph. Combining that top speed with a 120-minute range opens up possibilities beyond more than just riding around for fun. Visiting friends blocks away and lengthy rides around town are all entirely possible — and very tempting. “Sure, hon, I’ll pick up something at the grocery store.”

It’s no wonder that the T6 continues to top “Best Of” lists, from Hover Patrol to Closeup Check. Sometimes, bigger truly is better.

Other Great Adult Hoverboard Options

Impressive as it is, the Swagtron T6 is not without competition. It may offer the most balanced package, but there are models that match it in some ways and offer their own fetching combination of features. 

swagBOARD DURO T8

The Duro T8 packs a value at such an affordable price, in the $130 to $160 range. Its 200W dual motorized wheels pair with SentryShield protection to offer enhanced stability. While that may knock the maneuverability down slightly, beginners who are not as sure-footed can get an added sense of support. 

At a speed of 7 mph, the Duro T8 can certainly satisfy the average rider’s sense of speed. Zooming past a puddle at that speed is no issue either with the semi-waterproof construction.

swagBOARD VIBE T580

Another contender for incredible value at high affordability, the Vibe T580 sells for between $190 and $210.  Its most prominent standout feature, built-in Bluetooth speakers, offers various ways to add to the riding experience. Exercising while high-energy music plays always helps break a good sweat, and a slow crawl around the neighborhood or park with a podcast in the background can be relaxing. 

The top speed of 7.5 mph is capable of generating quite a rush, and not many models within its price range are able to match that speed. Average or balanced riding will allow for a range of 8 miles, which makes this hoverboard fit for purposes other than just mindlessly riding around.

swagBOARD T380 ELITE

The swagBOARD T380 Elite finds its place on this list by virtue of its range that falls between 7 and 12 miles. What you get out of that depends on how much you take advantage of its 8 mph speed. 

Its various modes make it beginner-friendly, allowing those not so well-versed in riding hoverboards to learn their way up to using the advanced mode where the more skill-demanding features can be accessed. Switching between the modes is done easily through the app. At the advanced mode, increased maneuverability creates opportunities to pull off swift turns or negotiate tight and winding spaces.

The weight, at just 22.5 Ibs, makes for easy carrying. This gives the T380 Elite extra appeal to those who want an adult hoverboard they can easily lift off the ground between rides. So much so, that it’s routinely sold out. (Don’t worry, though. There are some recertified models available.)

swagBOARD T1 PRO

The swagBOARD T1 PRO, with its 300-watt motor and 8 mph top speed, certainly deserves to be in the conversation about the best adult hoverboards. At a full charge, it’s capable of covering a distance of up to 11 miles, making it a viable option for running errands and other practical uses beyond just the fun element. 

One of its best features is that it can handle varied terrains and inclines, managing to stay upright even on 30-degree slopes. Should the T1 Pro run out of power as you ride, it brakes just before it totally shuts down, letting you come to a gradual stop.

Varied riding modes make the T1 Pro a good fit for beginners and advanced riders alike, giving those new to hoverboards the chance to familiarize themselves with the core mechanics before switching to higher modes and speeds. The price, ranging from $230 to $260, means you get plenty of your money with the T1 Pro. 

While trying to decide which adult hoverboard packs the most features and value will always raise some debate, there’s no question that the options available for you to choose from can introduce fun and efficiency to the way you travel. Look through the models on offer, and pick one to get you moving in a whole new way.

What is the Best Hoverboard for Kids? https://swagtron.com/news/what-is-best-hoverboard-for-kids/ Wed, 30 Sep 2020 21:12:53 +0000 https://swagtron.com/?p=521842 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®.

Easy to learn. Quick to master. Absolutely fun to ride! The swagBOARD Twist Remix!

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.

No lights but no less impressive — the swagBOARD Twist!

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.

Good for kids of all ages, from beginners to experts— swagBOARD T5 Classic!

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.

From kids to young teens, there’s a swagBOARD that’s perfect for them.

All SWAGTRON hoverboards are manufactured using high-quality components and have industry-leading safety features, making them suitable for kids and adults alike. Whichever hoverboard you choose, you’ll likely find yourself regularly asking your child for a go! You may soon find yourself asking what’s the best hoverboard for adults
