I saw this product on sale at best buy for $298 at my local best buy store and I had to get it. I've never ridden a hoverboard before so I was very concerned if I would be able to balance myself. Upon using it for the first 5 minutes I was able to balance myself and go up to 3 mph. After 15 minutes of use, I can easily go 10mph and be secure on it! Pros: Very easy to use and goes pretty fast 10mph on the full charge with a 11-mile range! Great for quick trips to the local deli for a quick bite. Much affordable than the Pro. You should get the pro if you weigh more than 175lb as it has more power. These have real tires on them so if you go over a bump/cracks/rocks you will still be able to balance yourself. Cons: Kind of heavy. If you are riding it to a store you will need to chain it and park it somewhere because you won't be able to carry it around. This isn't about the product but believe it or not your legs start to hurt after about 30 minutes of continued use because you are just standing in one spot and applying pressure on your feet. All in all if you are considering getting a hoverboard I think this is a great value for the first time purchaser. It would be easy for even a 10 year old to learn!

I have both the pro model and bought the LITE model for my 7 year old child. The thing is built to a high quality standard. A few things I miss on this model vs the PRO. Does not have the headlight for night time riding and the telescoping knee bar. This one is fixed at a very low point (around the shins) for an adult and therefore makes it much more difficult for an adult to ride as this is intended to be steered by the knees. Perfect for a kid not an adult. If I have any advice spend a little extra money and get the pro model. It is amazing. I have so much better control on that one and I do not see another option online to buy a telescoping knee bar for the LITE.

First of all, Best Buy offered the lowest cost than any other retailer I had come across. I wasn’t at all surprised about this. Even if their price was higher, they will price match and I’ve never been hassled when I have asked them to match. Regarding the Segway? I did try it and nearly killed myself. As a result, I will never attempt to ride this “death machine” again. My children and their friends, on the other hand, can’t get enough of it. My kids mastered its use within a day and I just love seeing them zip around on it. The Segway is very responsive and precise from speed control to turning. Oh...and it’s wicked fast, too. Even considering my little mishap, I am still giving it 5 stars based on how my children love this thing. The unit is solid and deserves a top rating. I cannot blame the manufacturer because of my old bones, probably overweight body, and my extreme lack of coordination and grace. I will be getting another as the weather warms up so that my kids can ride together.

This mini Segway is extremely fun. I was really impressed on how well the battery life lasts. I can go for well over an hour of continuous use. The only thing I do not like, if you go too fast, it will lean you back at an extreme incline. It’s a little unnerving, especially if you are go full speed. They should just prevent from leaning any further forward. I’m sure this can be resolved via a software update. If you are on the fence, go ahead and make the purchase. You won’t regret it. Save your money and go for the lite model and not the pro. I’m planning on buying the handlebar attachment which should make it more comfortable to ride.

This is easier to operate than a hover board. It is safer. Has varying speeds. Better balance.
