A hoverboard is not only a fashionable urban entertainment, but also the ability to quickly move over short distances. When searching for a suitable model, the user's age, conditions and driving tasks are taken into account. Hoverboards vary in power... The choice is wide: from children's miniature walking gyroboards to more "serious" teenagers and adult SUVs. The reliability of the model is determined by the quality of all parts and the manufacturer's brand.

Best hoverboards for adults
Wheels of adult gyroboards allow you to drive on problem roads, overcome bumps, holes and grassy areas. Power and speed are serious enough. There are two types of adult scooters:
- With a wheel diameter of 8 inches. The tires are tubeless, which creates some inconvenience on uneven surfaces. The battery power allows you to cover a twenty-kilometer distance. Speed - up to 20 km / h, load - up to 120 kg.
