This product is absolutely NOT reliable. I have gone through a replacement already and the new hoverkart that I received only lasted a few days. Customer service is terrible. It takes weeks to get them to actually acknowledge receiving the information you submitted multiple times. Amazing that Best Buy carries products from this company.

Dear BellMr,
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Jetson Phantom. It is important for us to hear first-hand from valued customers like yourself while we strive to improve our practices as we grow. Although we do our best to respond to inquiries within 24-48, delays in the warranty process can occur when information needed to move forward is missing. To avoid the back and forth of e-mails or phones calls, our site provides folks with a neat form listing all the needed information to complete a claim. When a needed piece of information is missing from the form, customers are prompted with a message on what to include to proceed. More information on this can be found here https://ridejetson.com/pages/warranty-claim

Over all this a a great product to give your kid for Christmas. It is really fun but, it did come with a problem. Whenever my son played with it outside it would keep turning on and off. Within a week, one of the sides stopped working entirely outside. But, indoors it does work perfectly fine.

You would assume that when you spend $250 on a product it would last longer than 1 month, especially because the product was not used on a daily basis. The steering does not work and even after re-calibrating it several times all you can do is spin in circles or crash. I am extremely frustrated by the waste of money and will never purchase another product by Jetson.

When the package was delivered, all the parts were not in box. Called and emailed company many times without success. Finally was able to get someone to call me back after I sent a threatening email. They were suppose to send the missing part, but that never happened

Very janky parts and build. My son rode it 4 times and the seat back snapped (he is small!) and now the entire kart won’t charge fully. Huge waste of money and will never buy from this company again!

I got this for my 10 year old grandson. He is having a blast with it. It went together easily and is very sturdy. I only gave it 4 stars because it's prone to tip when turning if you're going to fast. It's much better than a hover board with a go-kart attachment. I highly recommend this. Even my 22 year old daughter has a blast on it. It's really fun for all ages.

Bought this for my son for christmas and I think I have used it waaaaay more than he has. Sure I might be a tad over the recommended weight allowance, however this lil guy still churns out some decent speed for me to enjoy a quick tool around the block. Buy it and enjoy

Bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she absolutely loved it... for about 3 months. It no longer works right. The seat sensor detects her hovering over it while she is getting on and if one of the handles is barely out of place, it will take off from underneath her. It will also take off as if the handle is being pushed down, while no one is on it. It doesn't steer right and will turn off at random times. Waste of $250. If I can update this review, I will add video.

Hi KJolli,
Our Jetson Phantom is built to last way longer than 3 months. Rest assured that If your daughter is having issues, our team is available 7 days a week to help get her riding again. This includes providing troubleshooting and or repairs/ replacement devices under warranty. The issue described can most likely be solved with a reset. Much like computers and other electronics, our Jetson Phantom requires the occasional reset.
Please use these steps to recalibrate your Phantom:
1. Make sure the device is off and on a flat surface
2. Hold the power button in until you hear beeping and lights begin to flash.
3. Next restart your device to test before riding again.
*Keep in mind that you may need to recalibrate up to 3 times to fully reset the device.

My wife was hesitant at first. We strapped a helmet on him and we can't get him off. Battery has great life and he learned how to drive it instantly. With the foot adjustment, he can use it for a few years.

So upset that you can actually sell an item without all the parts missing the handles, without the handles you can't navigate it, bought it as a Christmas gift for my daughter now we are here stuck with a pile of junk & no Christmas gift.
