The Top Red Flags to Look Out for When Buying a Hoverboard

While hoverboards are increasingly popular and a cool way to spend time outside, there are certain hoverboards you should avoid purchasing. It might be surprising to read this on a hoverboards shop website, but we care about our clients and we want to keep them informed so that they can make informed buying decisions and stay safe while hoverboarding.

Cheap hoverboards

Cheap hoverboards might seem like a great deal. At first! Because over time, you’ll notice that these hoverboards are often made with low-quality components that will break easily and put you or your kid in danger. Cheaper hoverboards often have inferior batteries, that can overheat, catch fire or literally explode. We advise you to invest in a high-quality hoverboard that meets safety standards and that is made of durable materials.

Our hoverboards come equipped with UL-certified batteries, which means they have been independently tested and verified for safety. Additionally, our hoverboards are made with top-of-the-line components that are built to last, ensuring a safe and enjoyable riding experience.

Hoverboards Without Safety Features

Look for important safety features like: LED lights, non-slip foot pads, proper weight limit. All these can prevent accidents and injuries, so make sure your hoverboard has these.

At Smart Balance Shops, all of our hoverboards come equipped with LED lights, non-slip foot pads, and a weight limit that ensures the safety of the rider. We prioritize safety in all of our products, and our hoverboards are no exception. Check all the specs on the product page.

Counterfeit Hoverboards

It’s never OK to buy a counterfeit product for numerous reasons. But regarding hoverboards, the most important one is that they are made with low-quality components that will put you in danger. Additionally, they don’t come with warranty nor customer support, like genuine products do.

But at Smart Balance Shops, only sell authentic products from top hoverboard manufacturers. They are guaranteed to meet safety standards and also come with warranty.
