GeekMe Hoverboards,8.5 inch all terrain Hoverboards, Electric Self Balancing Scooter With Powerful Motor LED Lights,APP,Bluetooth speaker, Gift for Children

Yesterday evening I borrowed my son's GeekMe 8.5-inch hoverboard, and took it for a lazy loop around our neighbourhood in south Manchester. I had expected the usual rattling teeth and sudden jolts, yet it glided over potholes and cracked paving slabs without complaint. Those fat, knobbly tyres, driven by a pair of 350 watt motors, seem happy carrying my gangly 105 kilogram frame. The foot plates light up like a miniature nightclub, which amused passers by, and the built-in Bluetooth speaker is loud enough to alternate between my little one's Peppa Pig soundtrack and a bit of Guardians of the Galaxy when it is my turn. There is a companion app that shows speed and remaining battery, although on my Android phone it was moody and refused to change the headlight colours. Swapping to the Halo Rover app restored the essential functions, just not the disco lighting. On mixed paths I managed roughly twelve kilometres before the battery warning began to flash, more than enough for a wander to the park and back with the children. The only part that feels cheap is the charging brick, so I shall treat it gently. Solid construction, punchy motors and genuine off road tyres make this board terrific fun for the money, even if the software still needs a little care and attention.

This thing feels less like a hoverboard and more like a mischievous little kart that just happens to live on the pavement outside the primary school. Those chunky 8.5-inch pneumatic tyres chew through bumps and loose gravel without blinking, and the twin motors tucked inside give an instant shove when the lights go green, or when my daughter yells “race you, Dad”. Up front, bright white LEDs cut through the gloom, while a red lamp at the back lets dog-walkers see you coming. Everything is housed in a casing that will not take kindly to catching fire, which is reassuring. The companion app is straightforward once you have jumped through the Halo Rover hoop. It tells you speed and battery life and lets you flick between beginner, normal and the unofficial “Dad needs to blow off steam” setting. I hover around 99 kilogrammes, brushing the weight limit, yet the board still drags me up the gentle slopes on Clapham Common. It even keeps its footing when rogue conkers roll beneath the wheels. A built-in Bluetooth speaker belts out whatever the children insist on, loud enough for them, slightly tinny for me. Shame you cannot swap LED colours to match the playlist, but you cannot have everything. Safety cut-offs bite the moment you step off, the deck feels properly stout, and knowing there is a UK service centre nearby calms the parental nerves. For the price, you are getting plenty of shove, plenty of grin-inducing stability and a toy that doubles as an excuse to nip to the fridge faster than anyone else in the kitchen.

The advised app does not work, as others have pointed out. However an app called Halo Rover does. This is allows you to change between modes - important as it defaults to advanced and most people will want to start in beginner. The hoverboard is quite substantial, taking up to 120kg weight (most only carry 100kg) and top speed just under 15kph in advanced mode - which is great for the kart attachments. The forward-facing lights do not change colour - at least, there isn't an option to change them in the app I'm using and the recommended app doesn't work. This is disappointing as the pictures imply different colours are possible. There is a red rear light though, which many don't have and is a bonus for safety. The big chunky tyres and mud guards make this suitable for some basic (and dry) off roading, where most other boards would slip and give up. I bought this to replace a Hover-1 board that broke after 6 charges. That board had a much better app, but I'm hoping that this one is more reliable - I'll update the review if it isn't!

Here, I’m not really recommend this hoverboard to anyone. The quality looks amazing, but having a serious issue that I’ve got. Here’s story. I received it three weeks ago, and one of headlights doesn’t works from day one. Then I went to aftersales, they r quite nice, they swap new one to me. I send old one back, then 3 days later I received new one. I thought story will be end, cos all lights working well. But it turns out an really serious problem. IT CUT OFF POWER BY ITSELF WHILE IM RIDING ON IT, it happened twice in a day. I thought I was my mistake at first time, I didn’t ride it well bailable, but it cut off the power while im stay still. Then I realised it’s not my fault, it’s the hoverboard itself. Gosh, fortunately, in not get hurts. So now, I have to return it for refund, even I have to pay for return. cos i can’t trust it anymore. Imagine it while you riding fast and power cutoff by itself?

Wow. This all-terrain hoverboard has survived a whole month without my rough, boisterous son breaking it. No other toy has lasted that long with him. It doesn't even have a scratch on it. He spends most of his waking hours on it and it has so many features. It tells him his speed, plays music etc. It is tough, durable, well made, high quality and despite my son's harsh treatment of his toys it looks and performs as good as new. It's easy to use and much nicer, more attractive and better quality than his last one which cost the same price. This is a wonderful hoverboard - best purchase for my 7 year old ever.

We got this for our daughter and I have to say I was so nervous about buying rubbish. I can thankfully report that it's an amazing piece of kit. Easy to set up, battery lasts a long time, excellent balancing and has been tested by dad whose 17stone with no issues. If you are looking around unsure which hoverboards are good, I can say we have been really pleased by this one. So far it's been a star buy and my girl spends a lot of time on it.

Hola buenas me a llegado hoy y la verdad que corre manejarlo sin silla no es fácil en plano aún en subida Ho bajada cuesta más.lo único malo que veo que no sé si es normal que suena un pitido cuando le das gas...y se calienta rápido y se para ..y ya no arranca asta que este frío ..si lo hace más veces lo devolveré.

Es wurde zum Geburtstag meiner Tochter (10J) gekauft. Weil das erste Robway 3 Hoverboard kaputt ging nach 2 mal fahren. Das Theater war sehr groß, also musste schnell was neues her. Dieses hier sah mit den großen Reifen gut aus, also bestellt. Amazon typisch 2 Tage und es war da. Gut verpackt, alles dabei, nichts fehlte. Für die erste Runde direkt mal aufgeladen, 2-3 Stunden und der Akku ist voll. Das Board wird mit einem Hovercart(Sitz mit hebel) benutzt und funktioniert sehr gut. Das Ding geht recht schnell nach vorne 🤪. Die Verbindung per Bluetooth funktioniert einwandfrei, so lassen sich 3 Geschwindigkeiten einstellen und Fehler beheben. Also ich finde das Teil sehr gut, sieht gut aus, qualitativ super, ist schon kein leichtes Spielzeug aber Papa ist ja dabei. Noch zur Info, gefahren wurde nur auf ein Privatgelände.

Après une première expérience décevante d'un hoverboard acheté dans un magasin spécialisé, nous avons opté pour cet hoverboard sur Amazon. Mon fils l'utilise régulièrement depuis presque qu'un an et franchement, j'ai envie de l'appeler "indestructible". Il passe partout, monte et descend des petites bordures sans broncher, fonctionne dans l'herbe, dans le gravier, dans la terre et forcément sur béton et tarmac. De plus, malgré l'utilisation intensive qu'il en fait, la batterie tient toujours comme au premier jour. Franchement un excellent achat !

No funciona uno de los motores con lo que solo da vueltas. No tiene estabilidad. Mala calidad. Dice que es de aluminio la carcasa y es de plástico. Que las Luces se pueden cambiar desde la app y configurar distintos colores y formas pero no funciona. 3 modos de uso que no funcionan siempre va a toda potencia. Cuando te bajas o te subes no tiene estabilizador como dice y se mueve. Se va la cobertura del móvil de la App a los 2m.

De hoverboard voldeed aan mijn verwachtingen en ik ben er erg tevreden mee!
