Choosing a Hoverboard for Overweight Adults in 10 steps

Yes, hoverboarding is a lot of fun even for adults. But how about overweight adults? Are they allowed to enjoy the riding experience? Sure! Just make sure you take into consideration the below key factors to look for when purchasing a hoverboard for overweight adults and how SmartBalanceShops.com actually meets their unique needs.

1. Weight Capacity:

Check the manufacturer’s specifications, as it is essential to ensure that the hoverboard can safely accommodate an overweight adult. At SmartBalanceShops.com, we offer hoverboards with higher weight capacities, typically ranging from 80kg to 120 kg, providing a reliable option for overweight riders and you can find this information on the product page. To make sure you've got a "compatible" hoverboard, pick between our Off-Road and Hummer Categories. 

2. Frame and Construction:

If you’re an overweight adult or are looking to purchase a gift for one, check for hoverboards with sturdy and robust materials that can withstand your or their weight. The frame and construction of the hoverboard play a vital role in ensuring its stability and durability, with reinforced metal frames (Aluminum is best, as it's both lightweight and super strong. All our Hoverboards come equipped with Reinforced Aluminum Frames and Wheels) being especially beneficial, as they provide additional stability and support, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall riding experience. Luckily, at SmartBalanceShops.com we offer only hoverboards with premium construction materials, ensuring long-lasting performance.

3. Wheel Size and Traction:

Logic tells us that larger wheels offer better stability and balance, providing a smoother ride. Additionally, adequate traction on various surfaces like on gravel or uneven pavements are essential for maintaining control and to prevent slips or falls. At SmartBalanceShops.com we made sure our offer includes hoverboards with larger wheels and reliable traction, catering to the specific needs of overweight riders.

4. Motor Power:

Choose a hoverboard with a powerful motor to ensure smooth acceleration, better maneuverability and the ability to handle inclines and rough terrains. It is important to know that overweight adults require a hoverboard with sufficient motor power to carry their weight comfortably. At SmartBalanceShops.com we offer hoverboards with robust motors, specifically designed for accommodating heavier loads. Also, all our motors are Brushless, so they can take a lot of stress, with zero maintenance. ZERO! 

5. Battery Life and Charging Time:

We offer hoverboards with extended battery life and efficient charging capabilities, so that you can opt for a hoverboard with a longer battery life that allows you to spend more time riding before needing to recharge. Make sure you consider a hoverboard with a reasonable charging time to ensure convenience and minimize waiting times.

6. Safety Features:

Non-slip food pads – this ensures a secure footing while riding.

LED lights – important for enhanced visibility, particularly during low-light conditions

Built-in safety features – auto shut-off protection is one of this kind of features and can provide peace of mind by preventing accidents caused by tilting or overuse.

Good news: we offer hoverboards equipped with these essential safety features, prioritizing the well-being of riders.

7. Comfort and Ergonomics:

Models with a wide and spacious footboard allows you to comfortably place your feet during rides. Moreover, adjustable handlebars and knee control options promote better posture and reduce strain on the body. As you might expect, SmartBalanceShops.com offers hoverboards with ergonomic designs, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable riding experience for overweight riders.

8. Reviews and Recommendations:

This is a general rule for online shopping: before making a purchase, it is advised to read customer reviews and seek recommendations from trusted sources, as learning from the experiences of others can provide valuable insights and help in making an informed decision. At SmartBalanceShops.com we take pride in positive customer reviews, indicating customer satisfaction and the quality of our hoverboards.

9. Budget:

Everyone wants to pay as low as they can for excellent quality. But that’s never the case. Good products come at a higher cost, so finding a balance between quality and affordability is key. Avoid extremely cheap options that may compromise crucial features or safety. SmartBalanceShops.com offers hoverboards at competitive prices, ensuring excellent value for money without compromising on quality.

10. Warranty and Customer Support:

Look for hoverboards that come with a warranty to protect against manufacturing defects or malfunctions and assess the availability of customer support to address any queries or concerns that may arise. Of course, us, at SmartBalanceShops.com, we provide hoverboards with comprehensive warranties and excellent customer support, ensuring a smooth and worry-free experience.
