How to Choose a Hoverboard
Start with the rider’s age and weight, the manufacturer’s limits and a suitable place to ride. Then compare wheel size, product condition and what is included. Our UK hoverboard buying guide explains the checks to make before ordering.
Compare Wheel Sizes and Rider Limits
Wheel size alone does not determine who can use a hoverboard. Check the minimum age, minimum and maximum rider weight, and surface guidance for the specific model. Read our 6.5 vs 8.5 inch hoverboard guide to compare the options.
| Option | What to Check | Before You Order |
|---|---|---|
| 6.5-inch hoverboards | Manufacturer age and rider-weight limits; recommended surfaces | Check the specifications of the exact model and colour |
| 8.5-inch hoverboards | Tyre type, product weight and the manufacturer’s surface guidance | An “all-terrain” label does not mean every surface is suitable |
| Hoverboard + hoverkart | Compatibility, rider limits and included mounting parts | Confirm whether the price includes the board, kart or both |
Check Product Condition and What Is Included
Refurbished hoverboards are labelled in the product listings. Read the individual description for condition and included items, and ask us if anything is unclear. Check the charger, accessories and warranty terms for the exact product before ordering.
Hoverboard and Hoverkart Bundles
A compatible hoverkart attachment changes the riding position and controls. Check the manufacturer’s compatibility and assembly instructions, and the rider limits for both components.
Prepare for Your Ride
- Read the model’s instructions and check the board and any attachment before use.
- Wear a properly fitted helmet and suitable protective pads; supervise younger riders who meet the manufacturer’s limits.
- Choose a flat, dry, clear area on permitted private land and follow the manufacturer’s surface guidance.
- Use only the manufacturer-approved charger and follow the charging instructions. Do not leave it charging unattended.

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions

Choose a hoverboard only if the rider meets the manufacturer’s stated age and weight limits. Follow the model’s instructions, use a properly fitted helmet and suitable protective pads, and supervise younger riders. Ride only on permitted private land; no hoverboard is free from risk.

Compare the exact model’s rider limits, tyre type, weight and recommended surfaces. Wheel size alone does not determine suitability for a child, beginner or adult. Use the 6.5 vs 8.5 inch guide above, then check the product specifications before ordering.

An adult can use a model only if they meet its manufacturer’s rider limits. Check both minimum and maximum rider weight, along with the instructions and permitted riding surfaces. Larger wheels alone do not establish suitability.

Battery performance varies depending on rider weight, terrain, and riding style. For accurate details, always refer to the individual product page.
