Your browser does not support HTML5 video. OK I don’t know where to start but before I was buying hoverboards on the Amazon and those Hoverboards have been working the most for couple months before they break. I even told my kids I’m not buying hoverboards anymore! Because it’s a waste of money, they just keep breaking! Until I bought GYROOR hoverboard! I bought one for my son and he loved it! So my second son asked me to buy one for him too. So it has been six months since we own GYROOR hoverboards and did not have any problem!So now my third son wants one too :) so I bought this hoverboard and can’t be more happier with this purchase! Pros:Build like a tank.The battery life is simply amazing.Self balancing.Fast.Has a caring bag.Really quiet.Easy to ride.And make myself and my kids happy!Just see my video review. Cons:Can’t really think of any?

Very unhappy with this hoverboard.
I bought this hoverboard for my 2 kids.It arrived fairly quickly and the packaging was OK.The first problem: one side of the power supply cord was missing (power outlet plug to power transformer). I felt like returning it right then, but the kids really wanted to try it out so I had to create a makeshift connector using an old laptop power cable to charge the battery up. It took about 3 hours until it was fully charged. I emailed the seller and they sent me an entire power supply in about a week. This unit worked OK for about 2 weeks and then, suddenly, it stopped balancing, meaning the left side was tilted forward at all times while the right side was level to the ground. It was still possible to ride it, but it just wasn't right. I tried re-setting it using the manual provided to no avail. At that point I decided to return it.Couple more notes that are not critical, but should be a good FYI for those who consider investing in this thing:- The smart phone app is a complete joke. You rarely see a 2.2 star reviews on Google play store, but trust me, this is even more generous than 1 star that i rated this app. The only value it provides is it allows you to connect the built-in bluetooth speaker to your phone and play music while riding, which is nice. At the same time it makes you authorize the app to access your: contacts, location, storage etc... and if you choose to skip or disallow, then the app does not even start up. Complete waste.- The built-in speaker is OK. It is actually adequate and sounds good. No concerns, other than the aforementioned app issues- This hoverboard is advertised as all-terrain unit. Well, it's really not. You can expect it to deal with very minor imperfections, but you can't really ride it on grass or get on/off the normally sloped driveway.So, to sum it up, I don't know how this thing gets 4.6 star reviews on amazon. The app alone would make it a 3-star purchase for me, even if it worked ideally. You add all other issues and I certainly can't recommend this purchase, especially for a steep $250.00 price tag.

OK but not for cart attachment.
I like that it is easy to use once you learn to get on it. I thought I had mastered it after using it a few minutes but then I went on it to show my son and I went down hard. I don’t know if I stepped on it wrong but I have not had any other accidents like that. Plus, I have been keeping it on the children mode which I think helps.The speakers sound good!The child setting is best for learning. It “limits” the speed to 3.6 MPH. I say “limit because” it doesn’t really limit the speed. More on that later.I choose this model because I thought it is capable of going 10mph but frankly, I don’t feel safe going over maybe 6 mph.Now on to the things that disappointed me.I purchased this with the plan to use it with a cart attachment but when attached a cart to it, I found it difficult to control. The hoverboard would speed up very rapidly even when set to children mode. This mode beeps when the speed reaches or exceeds 3.6 mph but it does not keep it from going faster. The hoverboard tilts back so far that the back touches the ground but it never maintains the speed that was set on the app. Also, it cannot be kept going straight no matter how hard I tried.I even tried getting it going and them bringing the handles of the cart attachment back to keep it from accelerating and it just kept going. I even let go of the handles because I thought maybe I was still pushing forward but even then, it kept going. This could be a fault of the attachment but I don’t know for sure.The point is that I don’t think it is safe for use with a cart attachment. Fortunately, it was me that tried it and fell several times and not my son. I scuffed my knee and hands trying it.There is one setting that Made it easier to use with the attachment and that was turning off self balancing. But it was still difficult to keep it going straight.I don’t thing the weight was the issue because I am only 150lbs and it is rated for 260 lbs.I still don’t know if I will keep it since my son won’t be able to use it with a cart attachment.I contacted the manufacturer and they did not have any suggestions since this is their latest model.As a hoverboard, it is fine.
