Batteries were sulfated bad! Otherwise great.

These run off two lead acid 12V 2.8AHr batteries in series for 24V.
After a full charge they only held up for about 10 minutes. I disassembled the scooter and charged them with a pro reconditioned. Even then they only ran 20 minutes. Basically, VRLA lead acid batteries have a shelf life. If left on the shelf without a maintenance charge for more than 6 months they begin to sulfate and lose their charge capability.
These boards aren’t a new product. They’ve certainly been on the shelves at least that long.
So if your board doesn’t last long, then take it back pronto and try again. Rinse wash repeat.
I replaced our Batteries with two new Powersonic PS-1227 batteries. They fit barely. And now the board lasts for most of the day.
While I was at it I removed that awful beeping sound by desoldering the resistor to the speaker.
All of this voids the warranty. But this is a toy and a warranty is kind of a joke. So I fixed it myself.
That aside it’s perfect for my 7 year old. Not too fast but still real sporty and stable. It’s his favorite toy ever. I’m glad I spent the extra $50 for new batteries. And my son thinks engineers are awesome and Santa should hire me. Lol. Priceless.

My son was super happy to get it for his birthday and it worked very smooth, was easy to ride, fun, and very snazzy! But after a week it stopped charging and it is no longer working. My son was out of town with it so we missed the 14 day return policy with best buy (we just want to return and get a new one that works) but now we have to get a hold of manufacture and see what to do. What a hassle. But other than that it was working great and was super fun and easy to handle! Darn it!!!!!!

This hoverboard is great.
My daughter loves it.
She still uses it after over a year.
It can be a bit fast for adults but not for kids. They zoom around.
Great color and the price was great as well.

Seems like a good product with a bad chargerdesign

My only disappointment with this purchase is how badly thought out the charger is. The cord is barely as long as the hoverboard and strain relief on the end that plugs into the hoverboard is non-existent. It looks adequate until put into practical use. We broke our supplied charger on the second charge just being plugged into the hoverboard and the wall. We have resorted to charging the hoverboard on the kitchen counter away from any foot traffic after getting the charger replaced.
By comparison the charger on my older sons Razor brander hoverboard has a much longer cord and a more robust end that plugs in to the hoverboard it self.
As the summary says, it seems like a solid hoverboard with a crappy charger. I would look into getting a spare charger is if you buy this.

I received the Swagtron - T882 Electric Self-Balancing Scooter only a few days after I ordered it. I gave it to my grandson for his 5th Birthday. I had him practice with it in the grass at first and after a couple of hours he was ready for the sidewalk and he enjoys it so much. I recommend that all kids wear a helmet. The scooter really teaches kids balance and coordination. Really gets kids out of the house away from video games and outside in the sunshine. I also love that it lights up.

I bought this for myself to get back and forth to and from my dr appointments in the mornings. My Dr, is 1.4miles away, so this gets me there and back. Great product, takes a little time getting used to, but once you are used to it, it is a great little personal transportation device. For the price, this is definitely worth it. I weigh 198 lbs and I can ride it just fine. I would recommend this item to others for sure. The hardest part is learning to ride it, but after you find your balance and get a feel for it, it becomes much easier to control and becomes a lot of fun. Always, step off backwards, not frontwards, I dont know why, but stepping off backwards is much safer, less chance of falling.

I bought this for my 11yo birthday. He is very petite, and weighs about 65 pounds, so the hoverboard moves around easily. We’ve had it about a month, so I’m interested to see how well it ultimately holds up.

My 8 year old got this for Christmas. She had never rode one before and now I can’t keep her off of it. She flys through the house non stop. Also works great outdoors.

The entire family rides this device, but not at the same time. The best on it is daughter 10 who is already working on tricks. Son 7 likes to maneuver it while kneeling and does skidding tricks. Son 5 is happy to get it to move slowly. Adults are ok on it, but will never be as good as the kids.
This was a very worthwhile purchase as the whole family enjoys it and the charge time seems to support our usage.
Great fun.

This is a fun toy for kids. Make sure they wear a helmet. The only down side is the battery only lasts around 45minutes - 1 hour when fully charged. I am hoping the battery recharge will last for at least 2 years. We have an electric scooter that only lasted a year and there's no way to replace the battery. If that happens to the hoverboard then it would be useless as you cannot self propel it like you can with a scooter.

Had to wait to review as it was a Christmas gift for my 8 yr old Grandson. He loves it. In fact he is on it constantly. He is standing on it and going back and forth on it even as he plays fortnite. His 6 yr old sister also loves it. I tried it myself and about killed myself. Guess my 60 yr old self cannot do it. I have noticed that he has to recharge it ALOT. Maybe uses it for an hour then it goes back on the charger. Other than that it rolls very smoothly and goes over blankets and that sort that are on the floor. Very happy with my purchase.

I got this for my 10 year old so . He absolutely loves it. It took him about 30 minutes to get the just of it. It goes pretty fast so a helmet is a must! I’d have to say the only downfall is, it makes a beeping noise all the time. I’m not exactly sure what the noise is for...if it just means the thing is in use? Not level? It’s a tad annoying but he mostly rides this hoverboard outside so I don’t have to hear it.
