4 Things to Know before Buying a Hoverboard

Getting a hoverboard can be one of the coolest things that you can do for yourself. This nifty little contraption looks like it just came out of a futuristic movie—and it will certainly be fun to ride it around. But before you even think about buying a hoverboard, there are a few things you should know.

How much does it cost?

Before getting a hoverboard from the nearest store, you need a general idea of how much it costs. Try to check prices in different online stores and compare them with one another. The cheapest one isn’t necessarily the best buy. You also have to make sure that the hoverboard is made of durable materials so it can last for a long time.

What are its safety features?

There have been reports of hoverboards exploding, so you need to be careful. Look for a CE certified model with high-quality batteries. If you are buying for a young child, look for a hoverboard with kid-friendly features, including a handle. Make sure that the hoverboard has a waterproofing level of IP54.

Does it need a permit?

Unregistered hoverboards are technically illegal to use on public streets in most parts of the UK. Find out where and how to apply for a permit if you’re planning to use it on the streets. If you don’t wish to have it registered, don’t worry—you can still use the hoverboard indoors, in your yard, or in any private property as long as you have the owner’s consent.

Where can I purchase a hover board?

The best place to buy a hoverboard is online. Go straight to a reputable retailer or supplier if you want access to the lowest prices and the widest selection. Make sure that the store offers a one year warranty (at least). Read reviews about the retailer and the different hoverboards they carry.
