I got this hoverboard for my son. It works great. The lights are really nice and the Bluetooth works great. The battery life lasts for a good amount of time, maybe 2+ hours. It’s battery life is longer than my other sons hoverboard which is the “Flying Ant” brand off of amazon.
The only complaint I have is how easily the paint scratches. By the end of the first day of use the hoverboard looked a year old.
I’m happy with this brand, I did a lot of comparing brands first and this is one of the best.

I bought 2 of these (on sale for $129 each) for my boys. So far (after 1 week) they love it. it took them few hours to get used to it but now they are very comfortable riding it. Streaming music on it through Bluetooth from the phone is a nice feature. It says, it can handle up to 220lbs, but I'm 170lbs, and although it can slowly ride me on the horizontal surface, it struggles if there even a slight ascent. So I would say it is for kids up to 12-year old, then they can ride it fast and have fun.
I can't say about longevity because it's been only a little bit over 1 week, but I heard they don't last long. But I guess my kids will move to other interests before it breaks.

I bought the hover board for my daughter. It was on sale and she wanted the black color but they were out of stock so I ended up buying the blue one. Then my husband was able to get the black color that she wanted the next day which was still on sale. I was going to return the blue one, but my 10-year old son kept using his sisters' and he said he really wanted one, so I gave him the blue one. I really didn't think he would use it, but he absolutely loves it and uses it all the time. He loves using the bluetooth too! It's really cool how it lights up.

Was a Christmas gift for my daughter 2019. It has been problem free and she loves it. I like the fact that it has a higher weight capacity to hold someone who weights up to 220lbs. It has some cool LED lights and has bluetooth to connect your smartphone to listen to music as you ride it. It can go pretty fast and takes about 2 hours to fully charge after running the battery down. I would recommend it for children and adults. Not sure what the price is now but it was around $130 when I bought it last December.

I purchased this as a gift for my seven year old, and was not disappointed. My main fear was that he was going to fall and injure himself but the self balancing feature on this unit is phenomenal. The LED lights are bright, and is made with exceptional materials. My seven year old son easily setup the bluetooth speaker to his tablet, and the sound is comparable to portable speakers on the market today. The speaker is clear, and provides plenty of sound, is loud, than necessary.

My 9 year old saved uo for this hoverboard, and he made an excellent buy! He has used it daily for 2 months with no problems at all. It holds a charge well, charges quickly, has a bluetooth connection, and doesn't catch fire!!! We will be buying 2 more for my other kids.

We love this hover board. It is easy to ride and sensitive to movement so it knows which way you're directing it to go. Has good pick up speed. It's color is bold and vibrant. We have all tried it from about 60 pounds to 200 pounds. No issues with it. Fun to ride and quiet enough that it's not disturbing people around trying to watch TV.

My dad purchased this for my niece for CHRISTmas. She LOVES it. No assembly required. Instructions were easy to understand. She was a pro CHRISTmas night. The lights are bright. She can attach her bluetooth to this device and actually play music! I highly recommend this to my Best Buy family! Your son, daughter, niece, nephew or you..lol., won’t be disappointed.

Proven to work and is great for beginners!
After having difficulties with another company, this was a godsend. Our nephew owned one and it is still going after a year. we purchase this one for our son and he absolutely loves it he is 6 years old and has been writing this very same one since he was 5.
Highly recommended for all children!

Hours of fun for my kids ranging from 8 to 15. Light weight enough that if you actually do run out of battery power... you can carry it home in your neighborhood. Charges quick. Easy to reset/rebalance. LEDs and Bluetooth speakers are AWESOME

Bought this for our daughter for Christmas, and she loves it!
She had taken this around the block (1.2 miles) without issue. I haven't timed how long a battery charge lasts, but she'll use it a few days a week on one charge.
Very sturdy, wheels are strong, and the lights are just a bonus for riding in the evening.

I bought this for my friends kid as a birthday gift. He liked it alot. It is a wonderful hover board, the music volume is also good. Its not much loud but good enough to play and hear music. It has a good Speed and weight capability, even i am, who has a weight of more than 180lb, can drive it easily. It has a good battery capacity and can drive it for almost 2 hrs after full charge. I would recommend it for a friend who is interested to buy a hoverboard for their kid.
