Review on Hiboy Hoverboard Suspension Attachment Accessory by Donnell Cursed

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Stunning design, poor assembly and finish!

Let's start with what I don't like about the card. Let's start welding. I haven't seen such a bad welder in years. Reminds me of a temporary spot weld when they were supposed to do a full weld. This is even true for cheap items where I would expect poor welds. Even with a kid I don't expect the welding to stick to it. Now let's talk about hits. I believe the shock absorbers are rated for adult weight but the kart is not really designed for it even if they claim it is. I only weigh 145 pounds so I don't think this will be an issue for me but more for the average adult male. I think shock absorbers will help in extreme conditions, but welds can also break in these conditions. Now for the assembly of the front wheel. Unlike official Hover branded karts, the front handlebars will wiggle back and forth when you turn or just lean from side to side. I haven't decided if that's good or bad. I think a stiffer build would be better and lighter on the battery. I know some others have mentioned in reviews that the front tire vibrates at higher speeds due to the loose bearing. Yes I have the same problem. If you're familiar with the original hover map, you probably also noticed that there are no stops on the handrails. On the original carriages, the bars align and stay there. There is no way to pull them too high or lower them too low. With these carts, you can easily pull the handlebars too high or lower them too far. It can also be difficult to keep it on the same level. Now for the good. What do I like about this map? I like the design very much, even if it is not very well made. I really like how the seat rises higher. I like the big front tire. I love how easy it is to remove the front wheel assembly. That's all for now. In the winter I'll probably ask someone to fix the welds, swap out the dampers, strengthen the front wheel somehow, swap out the front wheel entirely, and try to figure out a way to use the handlebars. from an original wagon I own or add some kind of stops and bars for that wagon. If I'm really ambitious I might try to find a way to add foot control and even some kind of rest. I would like a kart with good welts and a good front tire. I just don't want to deal with the hassle of sending this back and getting the exact same thing, so no I haven't contacted the manufacturer. I was planning to leave a review anyway and thought it would be more helpful to anyone considering buying this card. When I get it together I'll snap some photos of the welds to show everyone. I don't think I've seen any published photos of it. I was thinking of giving three or four stars. That was until I thought about how much time and possibly money I would spend improving or fixing problems. If you don't mind throwing your money away on something that's pretty cool but might break, go for it! Or, if you have a small child, they're probably built well enough for it. If you are concerned about safety and cannot make the above repairs, do them yourself or have someone else do them. I would recommend looking elsewhere.
