Great value. good for me

I bought two of these for my kids for Christmas. One of them had a bent wheel within the first day. Requested a refund and was able to send the broken board back for a complete refund. Repurchased and have had no problems with the replacement. Great service.

Pros
  • Haven’t used this one yet, but have used my nephews that is this brand and he loves it!!
Cons
  • May not be allowed in certain public spaces

Would NOT recommend

This hover board stopped working after one week. I would not recommend buying this product. The manufacturers refused to refund our money, only offering a one penny refund. Luckily amazon refunded us.

Pros
  • Very good kid loves it
Cons
  • Expensive price tag

Does Not Work Brand New

Straight out of the box it did not work. The tire would rub against the frame so it could not be used. I had to send it in for repairs before we ever got to use it. They sent it back "repaired" but it still does not work. It can be rode for a couple minutes at a time at very low speeds. If you try to actually move around, the left side will just stop working and the battery will beep like its dead even after charging all day. I emailed them again to see if they can fix it and they never…

Pros
  • Rides so smooth! My son loves it, great Christmas present.
Cons
  • May require frequent calibration

I bought this for my 65 lb daughter. As soon as she stood on it, the wheel jammed and it didn't move. My 45 lb son experienced the same thing, but it took about 30 minutes for his wheel to jam. i was able to exchange both of them immediately. The replacement hover boards worked better for a little bit but after about a month, my daughter's board stopped charging. It is now completely un-useable. I tried to have it replaced but since too much time as passed (1 month) the seller wouldn't replace…

Pros
  • My grandson loved this! It was his favorite Christmas present!
Cons
  • Potential for accidents and injuries

0% Chance you’ll get a working hover board.

We bought 4 of the T188 hoverboards from Swagtron for Christmas. They are all the same models and the 2 red ones just beep and don’t work while the 2 black ones work fine. I called Swagtron and they didn’t even care to try and troubleshoot any problems and have sent RMA prepaid labels, which is good, but I just want the things to work. My kids have only had them for 3 weeks and they haven’t even been outside with them yet.Update: I ordered 4 new hoverboards, Swagtron model numbers as before. I…

Pros
  • Christmas gift for son he loves it works well
Cons
  • May be difficult to store or transport

Retuning this item best in my review

There is an issue with the right side wheel. It is too close to hub and prevents the wheel from spinning freely this causes the battery to drain in about 5 minutes from a full charge.

Pros
  • Liked! For my Grandson
Cons
  • Limited customer support options

Great hoverboard for 1st timers!

I bought this for my sons 11th birthday and it’s the first hoverboard he has ever used and he caught on right away! I love that it auto balances. It’s very heavy and sturdy. The only con is that the charge only lasts about 1-2 hours and it takes 5.5 to charge.

Pros
  • Sports
Cons
  • Limited range may limit travel flexibility

Battery issues good for me

Woke up in the middle of the night to the smell of rotten eggs. Discovered it was coming from my daughters plugged in hover board. Picked it up to take outside and the hover board extremely hot and was leaking some kind of liquid from the battery. It obviosly will not turn on now. Extended warranty I bought would not be honored because it was still under warranty. I sent it back to Swagtron and they have had it for a month. I called and complained and they said they are back logged and won’t…

Pros
  • Start-up self-balancing - this user friendly hover board allows for quick and easy mounting by automatically balancing upright when powered on
Cons
  • Limited weight capacity may be inconvenient for larger users

Christmas gift: my feedback

This was bought for our son for Christmas. He hasn’t opened it yet but it came on time and appears to be exactly what he wanted. Can’t wait for him to open it.

Pros
  • Looks great, looking forward to my daughter opening it up on Christmas morning
Cons
  • May require additional accessories for optimal use

Good purchase for my opinion

This Hoverboard is good. I enjoyed it. The size is a little small but more for indoors. I didn’t like the speed and the beeping.

Pros
  • My grandsons and granddaughter love this swag board
Cons
  • May cause motion sickness for some users

Warranty is a joke. Does not last.

Great to use when working, but motor went completely dead after a couple of months.The product came with 1 year warranty. I shipped it back to Swagtron for $20 (discounted shipping rate) at my own cost, and they provided a vague bill with $115 of tentative repairs, plus $20 fee to ship it back. I would not buy this product again.

Pros
  • ‎Unisex-Youth
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with vision impairments

Wait till the battery issue is addressed.

This hoverboard is really well built, too bad the battery sucks. I purchased one for christmas and the battery started dying after 8 minutes of in house use. I requested a replacement easy enough but the wait time was quite long. The second board was even worse on battery life. After 3 minutes the damn thing starts beeping and beeping and beeping. Its to the point now where it beeps all the time. Its too bad because my kids really enjoyed it.

Pros
  • ‎Swagtron self-balancing scooter, Charger, User manual
Cons
  • May require additional investment in protective gear and accessories

Update: Not pleased any more

My son ordered this with his own money in Jan it is now the first of March and the Hoverboard no longer works. He took good care of it too. I have called customer support several times and now they have sent me an RMA to send it back $27.00 my cost. I just wish we could get our money back and be done with them.

Pros
  • Grandson Christmas gift it was a hit !! His favorite gift
Cons
  • Limited speed options

Poor battery life: my feedback

I bought this in March 2019 for my eight-year-old son. He loves this but the battery does not last for more than three minutes. Does anyone have any idea how this can be fixed?

Cons
  • May cause pain or discomfort in hands and wrists

Do not waste your money

We bought 2 of these for Christmas this year. Charged them up and sent the kids out to play. Battery lasted about 30 min before it started to crap out. One of the boards has a motor going out and is grinding and won't let it go. This is the biggest waste. 6 hr charge time for 20-30 min of play time. The boards beep non stop while being used. They require recalibration every few minutes. Absolute junk. Do not buy this model

Pros
  • ‎T881
Cons
  • Not suitable for use in extreme heat or cold

We got a defective unit.

Unfortunately, it did not work for my 11 yr old son. He had it for only one week.Right out of the box one of the battery lights would blink red and the hoverboard beeped consistently.I thought maybe it needed to be calibrated so we calibrated it countless times. It charged over night and he tried it again. It didn't fix the problem. I thought it may be because we were helping him learn inside the house. I carried it outside for him (he could barely carry it because it was quite heavy.) and…

Pros
  • Grandson loved it. Easy to use.
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain shoes

Beel.beep.beep.beep.beep.beep.beep.beep.beep

After a full charge it only lasts about 10 minutes of my son (65lbs), riding it before it beeps everytime he stops or turns. Soooooo annoying! Weve tried recalibrating it a few times to no avail. We have 2 other brands in the house and neither do this. POS.

Pros
  • Perfect
Cons
  • May not be suitable for tall users

One of the best gifts i’ve Ever given.

Purchased for our 13 year old granddaughter as a combination Christmas and birthday present. She had told her mom she wanted one and we got in on it. We played a little game in her, we put a small toy skateboard in her gift wrapped present. When she opened it we told her it was a clue to her gift plus she needed to find the magic button to open it up. (Which was the key fob to our trunk. It was great fun. She was surprised and over joyed. She knew how to get it charged and was quickly moving…

Pros
  • Very safe !! Fun!!
Cons
  • May cause discomfort or numbness in feet and legs

Charger is very poor quality

This hover board/ charger stopped working exactly one month and 7 days since we received the product! How can this even happen? I brought this as it was labeled as”Ebay’s Choice” but I think they will have to stop promoting this as such!

Pros
  • Smooth starts, accelerations, and turns. Beeps when you get on, get off, and when the battery is low.
Cons
  • Requires balance and coordination to use
