Gyroor G-F1 Hoverboard

If you’re concerned about safety, the G-F1 has all the necessary safety certifications and each hoverboard is thoroughly tested for electrical and battery components.

EPIKGO Self Balancing Scooter
The next two models aren’t as fast as the above ones, but these hoverboards are still fast and great to consider if you want one with a little extra speed. Epikgo was the first company to release a rugged, all terrain hoverboard and it’s still faster than many of the competitors. With a ride time of 1 hour, you can reach speeds up to 10 mph. The 8.5″ alloy wheels with solid rubber tires are built tough and ready to go off-road through mud, sand, and grass.

This is a bigger hoverboard, with a larger footpad than standard hoverboards, so we recommend it for teens and adults. We recommend this hoverboard if you want speed and the ability to go off-road, but don’t need a bunch of unnecessary features. Plus EPIKGO is a US company based in Silicon Valley, so you know you’ll get the customer service you need if there’s a problem.
