Review on 🏎️ SILI Off Road Suspension Kart: Enhanced Design with Seat-mounted Suspension for 2 Wheel Self Balance Scooter by Alex Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very solid and smooth ride - one design flaw

I am very happy with this cart with my GYROOR Warrior "SUV" hoverboard with 8.5" wheels. I chose this model primarily because the extra size of the front wheel makes the support bar (between the board and your feet) fairly flat, despite this hoverboard's large wheels. Many reviews of similar sized carts mention wobble in the front wheels. excessive at higher speeds. So far no problems with this car. The front wheel is a little stiff (not inflated) but I haven't noticed any problems with it on the pavement. The trolley carries me at 190 pounds with no problem. I'm almost 40 and appreciate the increased seat height compared to non-shock cars (easier to get up). I feel like the bumps are a bit useless aside from the elevated seating position. They can help smooth out bumpy rides (haven't tried it), but they do feel like the seat tilts a bit in tight corners. Overall the trolley feels very solid and rolls well on tarmac - I'm very happy with the ride. There is a shoulder screw that needs to be unscrewed to adjust the length to fit your feet. I was expecting it to be a spring loaded element that you can just pull or something, but I think a threaded bolt is a good design choice because it's very reliable. My friend's trolley with dual tubes and friction arms slides fairly easily. It's definitely not this one. The knob on the screw that you unscrew to adjust the length is large and convenient. I have one complaint which I think is a bad design decision and the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. To the two bases that rest on your hoverboard that the straps attach to (a spare set of velcro straps is included). ) there is a screw that you loosen to a width that fits your hoverboard's standoffs. These two legs are connected by a metal bar that runs through the top of your hoverboard. One side of each leg is welded to this bar, fixing the length of this horizontal bar from the front of your hoverboard. The rear end expands to fit the hoverboard's footpads. If your board isn't the perfect size, the horizontal bar between the supports won't be centered on the hoverboard. On my hoverboard, this bar is in front of the center. When I sit on the cart, my weight pushes the front of the hoverboard down. When I'm on a cart, she wants to speed up. I have to hold on to the handles most of the time to stay still when sitting on the cart, even on level ground. In practice, this is not as impractical as it might seem. As I said, I'm generally very happy with this car, but this part of the design needs improvement.
