Hoverboards can be expensive, even retailing for more than $1,000 in some cases. Luckily, a number of manufacturers are now making cheap hoverboards that are much more affordable. As with most things, you get what you pay for when you’re buying cheap hoverboards and they may be missing some of the cool features of luxury brands. But if you’re new to hoverboards or on a budget, these can make a great purchase or gift for newbies. You can always upgrade to a fancier model later.
Because of the new safety requirements put in place to sell hoverboards in the USA in 2016, it is rare but possible to find a hoverboard priced under $100. Most cheap hoverboards are under $150, and many of them have cool features like Bluetooth speakers. But if you’re looking for fast hoverboards or rugged off-road models, you’ll need to spend more than $150. Keep that in mind as you browse these cheap hoverboards. Prices fluctuate constantly online, so it’s good to check out all of the options.

Cho is one of the hoverboard brands that has been around from the beginning, so it’s no surprise they offer a few cheap options in their line-up.
