Bought three for grandkids. Two have wheels that vibrate significantly. Have asked for replacement. Still has not come. They are fun but a little design change here and there would make them more functional.

I have two hoverboards with karts that are so much fun! My 7 year old loves to ride, and I enjoyed spending time with her while hovering around
But, at my size, I couldn’t go fast enough to keep up, so I purchased a larger/faster 8.5” wheel hoverboard that did the trick.
The only thing I needed was a new larger kart for it, as the standard kart only fits the base level 6” wheel hoverboards.
When I found the Hover-1 Beast Buggy I was excited!
My excitement quickly turned to terror and extreme disappointment.
As some reviews state the front wheel can wobble violently when traveling at high speeds...a significant flaw for a kart attachment designed for hoverboards that can reach 12 miles per hour! My experience was sadly no different.
As I tested my brand new hoverboard and kart, chasing after my daughter at near top speed, my front wheel began to shake. Within moments the twisting/lock levers to secure the front wheel/foot supports to the seat FAILED and the front half of the kart became detached dumping me onto the pavement at full speed!
I’m 37 years old...I’ve never hit pavement that hard.
To add insult to injury, My shoes got torn up as well as my elbow and hip, and my phone screen was shattered in the process costing me $160 to fix.
I was sore for days. My neck, back, hip, wrist. Geeze.
My “accident” was not from reckless use, operator inexperience, or poor assembly. It was from a significant flaw in the design of the kart.
I hope Best Buy and Hover-1 will accept a return of this product that will not be in new condition.
They should feel grateful it was me who was injured and not my daughter...I’d be demanding much more than a refund.
Buyer beware.

What an amazing idea! Take the fear out of using a hover board. When my kids opened their hover board on Christmas morning the first words out of my oldest child was, “oh no we are going to kill ourself.” It can be a challenge to balance and have fun on those two feet-ers. This device makes it easy for the younger ones (ok adults too) to fully enjoy the hover board. It’s like an inexpensive go-cart. The build quality is what I expected for the price, and don’t get me wrong it does feel strong and durable... but I do wish the bars that connect the front and back wheels could be tightened down more. If you get an excited older kiddo on there, they can easily push the bars out and separate the front from back. That is my only concern however. It is an excellent add-on to an already fun day on the sidewalks of your neighborhood.

Loveeee it. The kids love it. It can go in the grass or cement or street. It’s safe. It’s easy to use. My 6 and 8 year old use it. The straps get scraped very easily but they give you a bunch of extras for a reason. We’ve had it for 5 months and use it pretty frequently and it hasn’t ripped completely yet so it should last a couple years before we need to go buy new straps. We’ve gone to the park and around the neighborhood and everyone always asks about it. It reminds me of Mario kart so that’s why I love it.

We bought this for my stepson not realizing it was the wrong size for the hover boards with smaller wheels. Well the hover board we got with it stopped working properly after two weeks and was returned. We decided to keep the buggy and try to find a Hover 1 board that is big enough for it. I finally found a used Beast hover board and it works great. My stepson loves driving it around. The lever controls are easy enough to use. If the hover board runs out of power it's pretty easy to pull or push the cart back home.

This product is so easy to assemble and once you add it to your hoverboard, it takes it in a direction not expected. I haven't wanted a go cart since I was a kid and didn't know I wanted one until now. I bought the attachment thinking I wouldn't be able to stand up on the hoverboard. Even after I realized I could with enough practice I still will use the beast buggy. A very fun addition!

Awesome attachment, using it on a razor hoverboard. Front wheel shakes at highspeed but i am going to rplace bearing with a higher quality one. So good purchase if your handy if not another model might be better

This helped breathe new life into our hoverboard experiences that were starting to drop off after the first year of ownership. It was a blast to use until the kids decided to go through puddles that eventually shorted out the hoverboard. It was fun while it lasted.
