Best Christmas Hoverboard for 2017

As of December 6 all of these hoverboards will get to you in time for Christmas

The 2017 Holiday Season is upon us and, once again, hoverboards are one of the most requested items by kids the world over.

There are a lot of new hoverboard brands entering the space, driving the average prices down (which is good). Still, we have our favorites and, as a parent, there are a few things that you want to keep in mind when shopping for a hoverboard for Christmas.

Let’s begin by saying that every single one of the hoverboards we mention in this article are safe, as they’re all UL 2272 certified. This certification ensures that the battery meets quality standards that will prevent sparks and fires.

Some of these hoverboards also feature enhanced safety technologies which are proprietary to the specific companies. We’ll talk about them in detail further down.

So, what’s the best Christmas Hoverboard in 2017?

There are a few factors to consider. First off, the price. The new hoverboard models are all cheaper than last year: they feature the same higher quality components and they all receive the same extensive quality testing that’s mandated by law, but competition has driven prices down. Some companies have focused on creating hoverboards with stripped-down features, sort of entry-level hoverboards for those with a limited budget.

The Cheapest Hoverboard for Christmas 2017

Swagtron T5

Check Price

The cheapest of the hoverboards available this Christmas is the Swagtron T5.

The Swagtron T5 is a really sturdy, very smooth-riding hoverboard that will make any kid happy. It’s fast, it’s fun, and it’s excellent value for money.

This hoverboard features a learning mode for novice riders which, in our experience, makes it a lot easier for kids to learn how to ride their hoverboard.

Hoverzon S

Check Price

The Hoverzon S is even cheaper than the Swagtron. It’s similar in features, but the Hoverzon’s more powerful motors (250Watt each instead of the 200Watt of the T5), means that this hoverboard can go faster (8mph vs 7mph), and can support more weight (220lbs versus 185lbs).

The range is also better, with 11 miles versus the 8 miles of range of the Swagtron T5.

With the more powerful motors, this hoverboard is probably the best value for money for adult or heavier riders. That said, you can put the Hoverzon S in “practice mode”, which limits the hoverboard’s speed, and you can learn safely, or keep it slower for your kids.

One thing to note about the Hoverzon S, is that some people have complained about the build quality and there have been issues with the hoverboard getting stuck in “normal mode”. Of course, their returns department is prompt to address these issues, but you may wanna consider the T5 if build quality is important to you.

If you’re looking for a hoverboard for your children specifically, we can’t recommend any other hoverboard than the..

Razor Hovertrax 2.0

Check Price

While Razor had some pretty great discounts for Black Friday, the Hovertrax 2.0 is a great hoverboard even at its current price of around $400.

The technologies employed by Razor for their hoverboard are fantastic: the Hovertrax 2.0 is self-leveling, which means that it won’t tumble away from the rider in case of a fall, or if the rider loses control. This increases the longevity of the board dramatically. Additionally, the Hovertrax 2.0 features a “learning mode” which limits the speed of the hoverboard.

Finally, the Hovertrax 2.0’s battery is sealed and removable. Simply put, the Hovertrax 2.0 is the safest hoverboard on the market, as well as our number 1 choice for a kids’ hoverboard. For more info, read our full-blown Razor Hovertrax 2.0 Review here.

If you wanna spend less or the Hovertrax 2.0 is out of stock, you can always get a Hovertrax 1.0, although that’s not as good value for money—you’d basically be paying a premium for the brand, while getting a regular old 6.5″ wheel hoverboard.

The Best Bluetooth Hoverboard for Christmas 2017

There are quite a few bluetooth hoverboards available on the market right now. Our favorite, and excellent value for money is the..

Swagtron T580

Check Price

The Swagtron T580 is the latest addition to the Swagtron family, and it’s a strange beast: while it costs less than a Swagtron T5, it features some pretty decent bluetooth speakers, a max speed of 7.5mph and a maximum weight capacity of 220lbs.

The battery is fully charged in only 3 hours, which is a plus when you wanna ride your hoverboard all the time (trust me, having your kid throw a tantrum because they wanna ride their new toy and it’s out of juice is no fun).

Let’s talk about the bluetooth speakers: they’re decent. They don’t have a lot of oomph in the low frequencies, so they sound a bit tinny. But if you wanna ride around to the sound of your favorite jams, they will do.

What’s neat about the Swagtron T580 is the app that connects to your hoverboard: it allows you to turn it on and off, engage the “learning mode”, as well as knowhow much battery you have left.

If you’re looking for a bluetooth hoverboard for Christmas, the Swagtron T580 is pretty much the best bang for your buck at the moment.

The Best Christmas Hoverboard for Adults 2017

All the hoverboards we mentioned are perfectly suitable for adults and kids alike. But, if you are planning to get a hoverboard for yourself and you want to have a little more fun, our number one choice would be the..

EPIKGO

Check Price

The EPIKGO is bigger and heavier than a regular hoverboard. Its wheels are 2 inches bigger than any other self balancing hoverboard (usually 6.5in). The motors in this thing are 400Watt each — twice as powerful as the ones in a Swagtron T5. The battery is big and juicy, resulting in a still good 10 mile range.

This board is fast, with a top speed of 10mph, which let me tell you, is a total blast! Especially cause the bigger tires allow you to cruise over grass and gravel and cracks on the road with ease. This is the hoverboard we would buy this Christmas!
