Hover-1 Chrome Hover Board

The pros: This hover board is really a lot of fun. It has a fairly big battery that goes at least a few miles with an adult of 170 pounds riding it. It does take a good sense of balance to use. I haven't gotten the courage yet to go for top speed of 7mph. Think of it like a segway without the handle. The bluetooth integration and leds are great additions. The cons: None really, except I will probably break a hip or leg using this. I definitely need a helmet and pads, and would recommend others to use those as well. Overall a great product for what it is, and at a great price.

I obviously expected to enjoy this hoverboard but I had no idea just how much fun and laughter it would bring. It was packaged very nicely and when taking it out of the box, I was surprised by how heavy and sturdy it is. All we had to do was plug it in and wait for it to charge, then quickly calibrate it using the included instructions, and it was ready to go. Calibration took less than one minute. You hold the power button til the red lights start flashing and the hoverboard starts beeping, then turn it off and back on. The first time each of us tried to get on it, we failed miserably but it was fun. I read the instructions first and it said that you need to just confidently get on one foot at a time, as if you were going up a set of stairs. Easier said than done!! I finally got on by holding onto the kitchen table as I got up, and then once I found my balance, I let go of the table, but it was like my legs turned into Jello because I was nervous! I finally got going by staring at the wall on the opposite side of the room. My boyfriend was riding it and teasing me about how he was "already a pro" and it "isn't That hard" Right as he was saying that, he fell off the hover board and landed on me in the recliner! We both laughed so hard we could barely breathe. I tried to attach the video to this review (with his permission) but it will only let me add photos, so you'll have to settle for a screenshot of him falling, taken from the security camera in our living room! If you want to have a laugh AND have a blast, get one of these asap!
