Hoverboard Carts, Go Karts, and Mobility Scooter Accessories

After you’ve purchased a hoverboard there’s tons of fun things to do with it. Once you learn how to ride your hoverboard, you can learn to do hoverboard tricks or buy awesome accessories to diversify your ride. Hoverboard carts take a simple balance board and turn it into a cart or scooter that you can ride sitting down.

While there are many make your own versions available, if you’re not handy or want to buy a kit, there’s plenty of hoverboard carts available. Here we round up some of the best ones to add a little more fun to your glideboard. Check them out below. (Note: hoverboards are not included with these scooters and karts. You will need to buy one separately.)

Hoverboard Cart and Scooter Accessories

HoverSeat Hoverboard Cart

This is a safer option for riding a hoverboard, especially for newbies. The cart keeps you stable so you can’t fall over as you comfortably sit and ride. Attach any hoverboard to the front of the cart and you’re ready to go. If you know how to ride a hoverboard normally, you’ll easily master this hoverboard cart. You control the speed and turning with your feet–the cart even reverses using the same natural movements. This cart works on and off road over many different types of surfaces (grass, gravel, packed sand, etc.).

Note: this item does not come with a chair, but it works with any style folding beach chair. Easy assembly is required, the cart needs only five screws to put together and does not require tools.

Hoverboard Hover Kart

We think this is one of the coolest option of the hoverboard carts currently available. Built like a go-kart, your two wheel self balancing electric scooter attaches to the cart and functions as the back wheels. When you sit in the cart, your feet go on the front rests and you control and steer the balance board using the pull rods. This also controls the speed.

Learning to use the cart is easy. You pull the rods down to move forward and increase the speed. To slow down or reverse, pull the rods back. It’s the same movements for riding a glideboard standing up and easy to learn. Add fun and diversity to your riding experience with this cart. It’s great for kids, teens, and adults.

Available colors: blue, red

Two Dots Hoverboard Go Kart Kit

Take your ride to the next level by turning it into a legit go-kart. The Two Dots hoverboard Go Kart Kit turns any hoverboard into a vehicle just like you’d see at the Go Kart track.

The metal frame is durable and the built-in shock absorbers give a smoother ride than other kits. It’s perfectly sized for kids and teens. Taller adults may feel cramped using this kit. Two Dots is more expensive than other kit options, but it may be worth it if you plan on using the Go Kart kit yourself rather than buying it for your kids.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hoverboard GoKart Kits

Are these hoverboard go-kart kits safe?

Since these go-karts remove the standing element and the balancing element of hoverboard operation, we’d argue that they’re probably safer than using a hoverboard while standing since there’s much less a chance that you or your child will fall off the hoverboard while seated. As always, we recommend getting hoverboard safety gear all the same.

How much weight can these sitting hoverboard kits support?

Different hoverboard go-kart kits will accommodate different weights but we’ve seen 220 pounds as a common weight limit. Of course, your glideboard itself will have its own weight limit that you should also consider before operating.

Is there a height limit for these hoverboard karts? Are they only meant for kids?

Hoverboard karts are by and large meant for both children and adults and most hoverboard seat kits include adjustable footrests so taller or shorter people (kids or adults) can use them.

How heavy are these hoverboard karts?

The weight of these hoverboard chair kits varies from model to model but their weight ranges from under ten pounds to hover thirty. If weight is an important factor to you, make sure you check the item weight of any hoverboard chairs you’re considering.

What can I use a hoverboard scooter chair for?

There are all sorts of possibilities for hoverboard scooter seat kits. For instance, you could organize a go-cart race, or build a hoverboard kart obstacle course to navigate. Additionally, children who like the idea of hoverboards but have bad balance or are afraid to stand on them can get some enjoyment out of a hoverboard with one of these kits.

Once you’ve decided on the perfect hoverboard, don’t forget to pick-up these must have hoverboard accessories and essential hoverboard safety gear.

8 Best Safe Hoverboard Alternatives in 2024

While hoverboards are tons of fun for adults and kids alike, you may not be ready to see your child zipping around on a hoverboard. Whether you live in a place where hoverboards are banned or don’t want your kid riding one yet, there are plenty of fun hoverboard alternatives to get your kids and teens playing outside. Maybe a loved one had a hoverboard on their wish list and you need a different gift idea. Many of these gadgets give the same outdoor fun and excitement that’s achieved with a self-balancing hoverboard, without the high price tag or the safety concerns.

Here are some cool and fun hoverboard alternatives:

Safe Hoverboard Alternatives

1. Razor E90 Electric Scooter

Scooters are a fun alternative to hoverboards, especially for kids. If you’re looking for an electric motor to go with your scooter, you’re in luck. Razor makes many models of electric scooters in a variety of colors. Made with a sturdy steel frame, the electric scooter features a rechargeable 24V battery that allows for 40 minutes of continuous run time at speeds up to 12 mph. One of the plus sides of these scooters over hoverboards is if you run out of battery, you can still use the scooter by foot power.

Other features include a chain driven motor, 8″ pneumatic tires, a retractable kickstand, and a battery charger.

2. Ripstik Caster Board

If you’re looking for more of a skateboard like experience, a Ripstik Caster Board is the perfect substitution for a hoverboard. This awesome board from Razor combines the skills of surfing, snowboarding, and skateboarding into one experience. The Ripstik uses a twisting motion to propel you forward, eliminating the need to push with your foot like you would on a skateboard. Built with only 2 wheels, you can make 360-degree turns and even propel yourself up hills.

Available colors: red, blue

Notable features: 76 mm polyurethane wheels, ABEC-5 Bearings, spiked traction pads, good for children 8 years+, supports up to 222 lbs

Check Price on Amazon

3. EzyRoller Classic Ride On

Another self-powered option, the EzyRoller is a fun way to get your kid outside and exercising. Designed to move through manipulation of the foot bars, kids create the speed by moving their legs left-right. It also has a handbrake so the rider can easily stop. Since all the operation happens with the feet, your hands are free while you ride so they can toss balls or play other games. It rides well on concrete and asphalt but doesn’t do well on grass, gravel, and other terrains.

While the minimum age for use is four, riders will probably max out around 14 years old. The limiting factor will be weight (maximum 150 lbs) and length of their legs. The optional extender bars do let the EzyRoller grow with your child, so they can enjoy it for years to come.

Recommended Ages: Age 4 years and older

Colors: black, blue, red, green, yellow, pink, purple

Notable Features: 2 Extendable leg bars to grow with your child, max weight 150 lbs., steel frame, good exercise

4. Orbitwheel Skates

These portable transports look like something out of the future, like the type of roller skates George Jetson would use. Orbitwheel is two wheels, one for each foot. They work separately, giving you the freedom of rollerblades with the thrill of a skateboard. By moving your legs in a wave-like motion, the Orbitwheels are self-propelling, eliminating the work of simple skating. The tricks and maneuvers you can perform with Orbitwheels are more amazing and complex than anything you could achieve with a hoverboard or simple roller skates.

Available colors: green/blue, black/red

Notable features: self powered, good exercise, portable and compact design

Check Price on Amazon

5. Razor Jetts DLX Heel Wheels

The Orbitwheels have a learning curve, so if you’re looking for something that’s easier to use, Razor Heel Wheels are a great option for kids and teens. The heel wheels strap onto your shoes and instantly turn them into a roller-skate like ride. All you need to do is take a running start, lean back on the wheels and go. If you need to stop, just lean your toes forward.

While they recommend the Heel Wheels for kids 8 years old and up, the size of your kid’s feet will be the determining factor. They’re made to adjust and fit youth size 12 through adult size 12 shoes. The DLX model has a few extra flashy features–LED wheel lights and a sparking mechanism if you lean all the way back on the heels. It’s all for show, but some teens will think it’s cool.

Recommended Ages: 8 years old and up

Available colors: Blue, neon green

Notable features: Max rider weight 176 lbs., fits shoe size youth 12 through adult 12, LED wheel lights, wheel sparks

6. Kidzone Electric Bumper Car

If you want to give your kid racing fun without the risk of falls that a hoverboard brings, this is a great alternative. Designed to mimic bumper cars, this is a fun device to ride indoors or out and is great for groups of kids. With full 360 degree spinning capability, this electric car can be ridden around for fun or used in groups as a “bumper car” experience at home. The joystick controls are intuitive to use. This bumper car rides easily on carpet, sidewalks, and other smoother surfaces. You may have problems with grass or gravel.

The safety belt keeps your child safely in the car while it’s in operation and parents can take control of the vehicle at any time with the include remote control. With a max speed of less than 1 mile per hour, this is really a safer option for young kids. Each kid can customize their car with a racing number thanks to the included stickers.

Unfortunately, only younger kids can enjoy this ride as the recommended rider age maxes out at 6 years old, but it’s a fun and safe option for little kids who aren’t ready for hoverboards.

Recommended Age: 1.5 to 6 years old

Max Speed: 0.75 mph

Ride Time: 1-2 hours

Colors: Blue, dark blue, green, pink, white, yellow

Notable features: ASTM certified, safety belt, parent remote control, max rider weight 66 lbs, charge time 5 hours, LED lights, stickers for customization

Check Price on Amazon

7. Nighthawk Electric Ride On

If your child is too old for the bumper car and has a need for some speed, the Nighthawk electric ride on is a fun option. Riders sit on the Nighthawk and control the speed using the start and stop foot pedals. To navigate, you grab the handles on each side and lean the vehicle to go left and right. It’s very intuitive to use and kids can pick up on the control quickly. The max speed is 6 mph, which gives the kids plenty of opportunity to zip around. Since they’re low to the ground and will be holding the handlebars, it is a relatively safe ride. Make sure to have your kid wear proper safety gear in case they do fall off.

The rubber wheels are great for riding on hard surfaces like concrete, asphalt, or gym floors. You won’t be able to ride the Nighthawk on grass or gravel.

Recommended Age: 6 years and older

Max Speed: 6 mph

Notable features: start/stop foot pedals, red safety flag, max rider weight 110 lbs, 90 minute ride time

While this go kart drive on rough surfaces like grass or gravel, it performs best on smooth surfaces like concrete or asphalt.

The 5 Coolest Hoverboards 2024

The truth is, an awful lot of cheap hoverboards are actually made by a single manufacturer that “dresses up” the boards slightly differently so they appear slightly different from one another, even though they’re based on the exact same base model. For instance, they’ll apply a different hubcap style to the wheels, or a slightly different grip pattern on the footpads. They might be sold under different brand names by different retailers but the bottom line is, they’re the exact same hoverboard.

If you want to stand out from your friends and look fly when you’re rolling down the street, we’ve got you covered. Here are some of the most unique and coolest hoverboards on the market today that look totally different from the rest and really stand out.

Razor Hovertrax Prizma Hoverboard

The maker of the coolest scooters has a brand new hoverboard on the market. Calling it the “world’s smartest self-balancing electric scooter,” Razor’s Hovertrax looks cool and rides smooth.

It also has two riding modes built-in: regular and training, making this one of the easier hoverboards to learn to ride.

As far as cool looks, the Prizma offers the “Prismatic Light Show” with LED wheel hubs and front-facing LED lights. The glowing Razor logo looks so cool when you’re riding. The Hovertrax works indoors and out, great for riding down the street or doing tricks in the park. There are also safety features built-in like LED lights, anti-slip rubber foot platforms, and a shatter-resistant polymer frame. It also meets all federal safety regulations.

It also means you can charge the battery separately from the scooter. The free smartphone app can monitor the hoverboard’s status, change the LED lights, and also switch between “adult” and “child” riding modes.

Are Hoverboards Safe? (Safety Tips & Gear)

Hoverboards were the surprise electronics hit in 2015 and many children and adults rushed to get their own 2 wheel self-balancing scooter. But then concerns about the safety of the batteries meant hoverboard were temporarily banned from sale in the United States. Since then new rules and regulations were introduced and hoverboards are back on the market again. Even with safer hoverboard options available, many people are still wondering if hoverboards are safe, how to ride them safely, and if they need hoverboard safety gear. This article answers all of those questions for you. (Check out this article if you want to find out how hoverboards work.)

Are Hoverboards Safe?

In all honesty, hoverboards are about as safe as riding a skateboard or wearing a pair of rollerblades. There is a learning curve and a user’s safety and ability to ride without crashing increase with experience. Safety of riding a self balancing electric scooter is also determined with how it’s used and where. There’s more risk if you’re trying to do tricks in a skate park versus riding on the sidewalk in the park to catch Pokemon.

As far as the safety of the hoverboard itself, concerns over exploding batteries and fires have been taken care of by new legislation. All hoverboards sold in the United States must undergo electrical and fire safety testing and receive certification under UL 2272. These high standards mean the hoverboards on the market are much safer and should not have issues with overheating or fire if you follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Just like with a skateboard, rollerskates, or a bicycle, your safety increases if you use proper safety gear. Keep reading to find out our recommended safety gear for riding a hoverboard.

Hoverboard Safety Tips

If you’re brand new to riding a hoverboard, learn how to ride a hoverboard.

Make sure that any hoverboard you buy has the proper UL 2272 certification (you can verify this on the UL website).

Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended charging times. Do not overcharge and make sure to charge your hoverboard away from flammable materials. Do not charge your hoverboard over night.

Learn to ride your hoverboard on a level surface away from car traffic, bikers, skateboarders, and other hoverboard users. Good locations are a home driveway or an empty parking lot. When you’re first starting, it helps to use a fence or railing that you can hold onto to stay balanced.

Ride on your hoverboard on the middle of your foot (not too much on the toe or heel) and stand with the widest stance possible. This will help you keep your balance.

Step backward to unmount your hoverboard. If you try to step forward, it increases your chances of falling.

Make sure you always stand up straight and look ahead when you ride. Do not look down at your feet.

Know your local laws for hoverboard riding. In some places, it is illegal to ride them on public property, sidewalks, or streets.

Always wear personal protective gear when riding your hoverboard (see our suggestions for hoverboard safety gear below).

Hoverboard Safety Gear

The best way to ensure safety from injury while riding a hoverboard is by wearing recommended safety gear. Many of these items are similar to what you would wear while riding a skateboard or using roller skates so the gear is usually easy to purchase. Remember that extra gear should be used when riding early in the morning, and also in the evening and at night to increase visibility.

Helmets for Hoverboards

Kids are advised to wear helmets while hoverboarding. adults and teenagers probably couldn’t go wrong by wearing helmets too–especially if they’re planning on hoverboarding on uneven surfaces or doing tricks on ramps, etc. Helmets come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and designs, like this Star Wars R2D2 helmet, pictured.

When you shop for helmets, you don’t just want to look for the colors you like. Make sure the helmets meet current safety standards and are made for multi-sport purposes (like skating or skateboarding).

If you aren’t sure what to buy, check out our recommendations for adult hoverboard helmets and child size helmets.

Protective Pads for Hoverboards

Hoverboarding kids and anyone doing tricks on hoverboards will also need a set of skateboarding protective pads. Adult riders, especially those using their hoverboards for commuting in heavily trafficked areas, should also consider wearing knee and elbow pads to protect them in the case of a fall or collision.

Protective pads are usually sold in sets, marketed toward roller skating or skateboarding. These work great for hoverboarding as well. The pictured child-size set comes with knee guards, elbow pads, and wrist protectors, which are the main types of protection you’ll need in addition to your helmet.

Find adult protective pads here and see our recommendations for kids safety gear.

Hoverboard Safety Lights

If you or your children are riding their hoverboard where cars or cyclists are nearby, it’s essential to utilize some sort of safety lights to increase visibility and avoid accidents. Even if you don’t ride at night, inclement weather and fog can reduce visibility and endanger you near roads and on park paths. Some hoverboards have LED lights on them for nighttime safety and visibility, but not all of them do. And some hoverboards that do have lights only have lights on their front, not the back of the unit.

There are a variety of safety lights available that work great for hoverboarders. Anything made for cyclists or runners can easily be used when riding a hoverboard. We recommend having lights on your lower and upper body, as well as in front and in back of you so you’re fully visible to anyone. Shoe lights (like those pictured to the right) or hoverboard shoes are a great option for anyone who has a hoverboard that doesn’t have LED lights or only has lights on the front.

To light your upper body, you can choose from either clip-on lights, LED glow bracelets, or even a glow belt. We break down the different types of lights available in our article on hoverboard safety lights and visibility gear.

While you’ll spend most of your time riding your hoverboard, there will be times you need to carry it.

When shopping for a case, make sure that it is the right size for your hoverboard. Some hoverboard brands make their own cases specifically for their models, but we’re reviewing generic cases. Here are some of the best cases available.

Hoverboards are often somewhat heavy, weighing 20 pounds or more, so that can be uncomfortable to carry around for long periods of time. This clever hoverboard case solves that problem by adding a pair of backpack straps so you can wear it like a backpack. It also has a mesh pocket for your hoverboard’s charging cable or anything else. If the backpack style doesn’t work for you, it also has a carrying handle to carry your hoverboard like a briefcase.

The hoverboard is attached using nylon straps, so it works with any size hoverboard. The frame has four length adjustment options, so this can be ridden by shorter children and adults as well. This is a nice investment so everyone in the family can enjoy riding the hoverboard, even if they have terrible balance.

Some hoverboards have LED lights on them for nighttime safety and visibility, but not all of them. And some hoverboards that do have lights only have lights on their front, not the back of the unit. These slick safety lights clip to the rear of your sneakers and allow you to be visible from cars approaching behind you. They illuminate either a solid red (like a car’s tail lights) or a flashing strobe red glow. (Find more hoverboard safety gear here)

Personal Protective Gear

Safety is extremely important when you’re riding a hoverboard. Even though you may not think of safety gear as accessories for your new hoverboard, you should be. The main danger with riding a hoverboard is that you may fall off and injure yourself. The main types of gear you should consider wearing is helmets to protect your head from serious injury (this is especially important if you ride in the street with other vehicles) and protective pads for your wrists, elbows, and knees.
