The large deck for extra foot room is a nice feature of Razor Hovertrax, and I love the design of this hoverboard for kids. I found it to have a very smooth ride, and the self-balancing feature is based on Razor’s EverBalance technology, which makes this an ideal hoverboard for kids of any experience level. The bottom line here is that there is a reason this model is so popular. Razor got all of the details just right for a great ride and a great experience. Why are people still riding electric skateboards or a self-balancing scooters at all when hoverboards are this good? are built with rider and product safety as our first priorities.
A hoverboard is controlled solely by the rider’s feet moving at angles relative to the ground. There are no external stabilizers, brakes, steering wheels of any kind. Exclusive to Razor hoverboards, the Hovertrax features EverBalance™ technology. The hoverboard auto-levels, making it both easier and safer to mount it.
It’s up to you to be aware of your environment and observant of your surroundings for animals, pedestrians, and other riders who may jet out in front of you or block your path in other ways. Avoid these obstacles as much as possible and be alert to potential hazards. The recall affects those hoverboards sold between September 2016 and August of 2017. The helmets can fail to protect in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.
However, the board is available in five colors and easily fits into a third-party carrying cases. We clocked the Hovertrax at 8.9 mph, which surpassed the manufacturer’s advertised max of 6 mph — that doesn’t happen very often. However, we wouldn’t recommend pushing this board to the max as if felt pretty unstable at that speed. In this metric we analyze the factors that contribute to a board being fun. These are maneuverability, speed, color options, accessories, and weight. There’s a bottomless pit of little-known brands hawking the “hoverboards” that have exploded on the pop culture scene this year, earning the love of celebrities and appearances in viral videos.
Best of all, this durable hoverboard can carry up to 420 pounds and play music from an integrated bluetooth speaker. There are hoverboards for every price range and kind of rider. Our panel of riders rode this board through an obstacle course consisting of quick direction changes, a slalom, donuts, and a straightaway. The Hovertrax also left much to be desired in the power department.
Razor’s products are unmatched in style, quality, and function. Whether gift recipients are environmentally savvy commuters or adventurers in search of new ways to explore the outdoors, there’s a Razor scooter that’s a perfect match.
