Not quite Back to the Future but still so much fun

Let me start right out of the gate by saying that this device is a blast to use. It was meant to be something that my three sons would use, but I ended up enjoying myself.
I have three sons, 9, 11, and 13, and I thought this would be something they would have a blast using around the house or out in the driveway/sidewalk. Within minutes my youngest two seemed to get a feel for it and were zipping around the house on it. Setup was a breeze; you just needed to charge up the scooter. There is an easy-to-see indicator light on the actual plug that shows when the scooter is fully charged. You can download an app to your phone, either Android or iOS. The box and manual have an easy-to-use QR code to get you to the correct app in your app store. Then it’s just a matter of launching it and pairing the scooter to your phone. The app lets you change the lights and effects and lets you check speed, distance traveled, and change the mode.
There are quite a few safety recommendations in the manual, and you should read it before you try to use it. One of the things that it mentions in the manual, and I noticed after a few minutes of using it, is that it is far easier to use if you can just relax. Overthinking it will cause you to use jerky motions that could cause unwanted movements on the scooter. If you are able to just step onto it like you were walking up a step or curb, it is so much smoother and more manageable—the same thing for when you need to get off. Take a regular step back, and you should have no issues.
This was such a fun device that my entire family was able to use. The app is nice and has some neat features. It’s very cool that you can play your music through the scooter and the lights change with the beat. Again, after the initial learning curve, this little scooter is a blast.

I recently purchased the Hover-1 Ranger Electric Self-Balancing Scooter in Gray, and I couldn't be more impressed with its performance and features. The 6-mile max range and 7 mph max speed make it ideal for short commutes or just cruising around the neighborhood. The self-balancing feature is intuitive and easy to get the hang of, providing a smooth and enjoyable ride.
One of the standout features for me is the premium Bluetooth speaker. The sound quality is fantastic, adding an extra layer of fun to my rides. Connecting my device to the scooter was a breeze, and I love being able to listen to my favorite music while cruising.
The build quality of the scooter is excellent, with a sturdy construction that feels reliable and durable. The design is sleek and modern, and the gray color adds a touch of sophistication.
The battery life is impressive, and the charging time is reasonable, allowing me to use the scooter regularly without worrying about running out of power.
Overall, I highly recommend the Hover-1 Ranger Electric Self-Balancing Scooter to anyone in search of a reliable and stylish electric scooter with great features. It has exceeded my expectations, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the convenience and entertainment it brings to my daily routine.

Quick Review
______________
HOVERBOARD is something you need to learn
It's not something you can just step on and get going.
With that said., My 10 year old was able to learn it within 30 minutes.
It's has some. Self balancing going on which does not let him fall as soon as he step on it.
It has some cool colors on the board itself and on the wheels.
Now he is always on it instead of walking at home !!!

Pros
+-------
1. Sturdy and love the design.
2. Nice color lighting
3 very functional
4. Battery lasts long
Cons
-------
1. None yet
Setup
---------
Simple, charge it to full and get going. The charger shows a green led color once fully charged
I did not even read the manual. Just went to YouTube and looked at some videos on how to do hoverboarding and that's pretty much it.
Usage
----------
Note that this is not that fast and it is for a reason. The speed is very acceptable in my opinion for a hoverboard and it's easy to go forward, backward and turn left or right.
My son was able to learn the turns and directions very quickly.
I would highly recommend this product at this price..

I never had a hoverboard but it is a pretty neat piece of tech.I had my kids and wife cruise around on it. Of the 3 only 1 found it challenging to balance so not for everyone. The setup was easy and the app is cool in that it displays your speed, charge and you can change colors/music if you pair to your smart phone. I found this cool but not something you can mess with while using. The only com was that the battery seemed short and with the weight limit some of the adults like me could not use it. Definitely for lighter people or kids. I wish this had no speaker/lights and longer range and larger weight capacity since those features seem gimmicky.

This board meets (and in some cases exceeds) the expectations I had when I read the specs. It goes about 6 miles for me, which seems appropriate given that I ride it near maximum speed almost the entire time. And speaking of speed, this thing can exceed its stated speed limit on flat ground, mine will reach about 8.5mph on a flat asphalt bike trail according to the app's speedometer, although it will beep annoyingly at me until I slow back down. Excellent board, great construction, easy to use, app paired quickly and speakers work as expected. Would definitely recommend.

Fun toy and transport for kids and adults

For the most part all hoverboards are more or less the same, but it's the little differences that make them stand out.
While there are heavier duty ones this one has a limit of 220lbs. I'm a little over 200, and felt steady and secure and the hover-1 didn't give me any feeling that I was approaching the limit.
The wheels have a cool rainbow light pattern. The other lighting on the top can be customized with the app.
Pairing it is really easy and straight forward. I like that it can not only custom lighting, but you can play music.
Speaker is decent, great for goofing around outside but if you're using it for transport, be considerate and use headphones. It gets loud.
You can also track your speed, distance, and battery within the app as well as mind diagnostics
It was really easy to get going. My kids got on it for the first time (6 and 9yo)and within minutes they're puttering around the house
Battery seems decent so far. Lost about 30% in an hour. I imagine you'd get better without music. N

Granddaughter loved it until it started getting hot when charging then would throw her off as she was riding it.
I tried to replace it but they said it was out of the warranty time. Which was just out of only because i bought it a couple months before Christmas so that chewed up some time. I would definitely suggest to by the protection plan!!
It was very sturdy. She actually loved it until ...

This thing makes fast people look... not fast. I got it for my kid, but found myself using it more than them. This thing rips, and you can even play toons while escaping from your little ones. There is a learning curve, but with help and some guidance I was able to help my 6 y/o learn pretty quickly. I have had it for a while, and it's durability had kept it running smoothly for close to a year now. The 7 mph may not seem like a lot, but It is quite fast when you start riding. You rarely find yourself going the max speed. The battery life is fair. I usually charge it when I'm done with it, and it charges pretty quick also. This product was definitely worth the price.

I’ve been using the Hover-1 Ranger for a few weeks now, and it’s been a blast. The build quality feels solid, and it handles smoothly on flat surfaces. The built-in Bluetooth speaker is a great touch — makes the ride even more enjoyable. Battery life easily lasts the advertised range, and it charges pretty quickly.
It’s also very beginner-friendly; my first few rides were stable and easy to control. The LED lights add both visibility and style, especially in the evening. Overall, this is a great value for anyone looking for a reliable hoverboard with fun features.

“So awesome! Best present EVER!!”

Bought for my 9 year old for her birthday, and it’s “so awesome. best present EVER!!” She absolutely loves it. Only time she gets off of it is to charge it. She rides it in the house all day while doing everything. Watching videos, eating, cleaning, etc. Love the Bluetooth speaker on it. Really cool feature. The lights are also an awesome feature. You can choose any color and make it solid, flash, go thru a variety of colors, or sync it with the music and they light up in a pattern matching the song (hope that makes sense) the app for it, which controls all the different features, seems pretty cool, just still trying to figure out everything we can do. Definitely satisfied with my purchase.

The battery life is decent, providing enough mileage for a good adventure. The build quality feels sturdy, ensuring safety while cruising around. However, the learning curve might be a bit steep for beginners. Overall, it's a thrilling ride and worth the investment for hoverboard enthusiasts

The battery percentage reported by the app is very unreliable. It gives very little warning before suddenly going from 30% to 0%, and when this occurs, the wheels will abruptly break and force the hoverboard to a complete stop while you are riding it. This can very easily throw you off the hoverboard and cause you to fall if you aren't careful.
The hoverboard is also pretty loud and there is no way to turn the volume down. The internal buzzer/beeper sounds sounds eerily similar to a bomb timer, so be prepared to have some eyebrows raised if you're using this in a public place. The app itself is easy to set up, but it's a bit glitchy and it is difficult to get it to properly remember which mode it is set in. It frequently resets itself or fails to pair.
I didn't have huge expectations for this price point (it's not advertised as a professional transportation device after all), but the very unreliable battery life warnings make me nervous about using this in any place where there might be pavement if the battery isn't completely charged beforehand. The hoverboard itself is fairly easy to ride, but be prepared to charge it often. It will last less than an hour on each charge.

I bought this for my grandson’s 9th birthday and it has been such a hit! It didn’t take him long to master it, and also has a speed govener on it so he cant go too fast and get out of control. The lights change color and are really cool and also it has a Bluetooth speaker — but he hasnt used it yet.
