Best Self Balancing Scooters of 2025

"This hoverboard has some zip and is super durable. My son and husband have been riding it all around our property. The tires give good traction and the battery lasts a good bit! The lights are really neat, and I can't wait to see my son riding it at night all lit up. The built-in Bluetooth speaker is a fun addition, and the size is perfect—not too heavy but feels high-quality. I love the nonslip deck and self-balancing feature, making it great for newbies and kids. We've been very pleased with Gyroor products over the years."

"My daughter received this for Christmas and it has been fantastic right out of the box. It's sturdy while riding and easy to use. The Bluetooth music feature has been a big hit, and she loves cruising in the driveway with her tunes. Now, even the neighbor kids are asking for one!"

"This hoverboard is simply amazing! My daughter adores it and can't stop riding. The smooth ride, vibrant colors, and user-friendly controls make it perfect for kids. It's safe, sturdy, and offers hours of fun—highly recommend!"

"I bought this hoverboard for my grandson, and he loves it! He can ride it easily, and the fact that it charges with a USB cable instead of batteries is amazing. It's built very well and allows him to maneuver effortlessly. I was thrilled to see him so happy and receiving extra hugs for this gift!"

"After doing my research, I purchased this hoverboard for my almost 8-year-old son. He loved it right out of the box! Setting it up was a breeze, and it has decent battery life—about 6 hours of use. The beeping can be a bit annoying, but overall, I’m pleased with my purchase and happy to support a US company!"

"I got these hoverboards for my three kids (ages 9, 9, and 12) for Christmas. They were so excited! They quickly learned to ride, looking natural within minutes. However, I noticed that the run times depend on their weight. The heaviest child only got about 23-24 minutes, while the lightest managed about 27-28 minutes. Charging took about 5-6 hours, which limits their riding time each day."

"I bought this for my 12-year-old son. It was easy to unbox and the charging is decently fast. Although the battery doesn't last too long, it works for him since he enjoys short-lived activities. For longer travels, I would suggest a more powerful hoverboard. Still, I’m giving it a five-star rating because it suits his needs well."

"I got this as a gift for my 5-year-old daughter. She had one last year, but it broke, so she asked Santa for another one. It's a fantastic hoverboard, and she loves it! The size is standard, but it works for anyone, including me. I ride it too, though not as well as she does—her balancing skills are definitely better!"

"We purchased this for a Christmas gift in December 2023. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been used much because the charge never seems to last. My son tried the Hover-1 Buggy Attachment, but it’s been frustrating—the hoverboard only runs for about 15 seconds after a full charge. Customer support is overwhelmed, and I submitted a ticket but got no response. I recommend avoiding this product until issues are resolved."

"Words cannot describe how much I LOVE my Segway. It is immensely fun and easy to use. After years of trying various wheeled devices, I finally feel secure on this one. The self-balancing feature is a game-changer, allowing me to ride confidently without my legs shaking from anxiety. I use it almost every day, especially in the city—it's a great alternative to driving!"

"As a camping and fishing enthusiast, the Segway Ninebot S-Max has completely transformed my outdoor experiences. It offers a smooth, stable ride on rough terrains, ensuring I can explore without worrying about battery life. Its portability is a huge plus; I can easily transport it with my gear. The durability and practical features, like the LED display, make it a perfect companion for my adventures."

"Operating this device was a breeze after just a few minutes of practice. I’ve had it for three years and use it multiple times a week. It’s particularly helpful for walking my dog, allowing me to keep up with her pace without getting tired. This has been life-changing for my outings, especially in places where I need assistance!"

"I got two of these hoverboards for my daughters, ages nine and seven. They were definitely the highlight of Christmas morning! They were super easy to learn, and after just a few days, my kids logged about 15 hours of use without any problems. I was impressed by the ultra-quiet operation and the quality of the device. The Bluetooth music feature sounds good, and it's fun for me too!"

"I bought the Gyroor Warrior Hoverboard for my boyfriend, and he absolutely loves it! From the moment he opened it, he was zooming around the kitchen helping with Christmas dinner. The ride is incredibly smooth, and the self-balancing feature is perfect for everyone, regardless of skill level. It's a unique and fun gift, and he uses it every chance he gets!"

"I purchased the G2 for my son for Christmas. Although I found the requirement of an app to use it quite frustrating, we were eager to try it out. Sadly, we faced several issues, including the left side not moving forward at all. We laughed at first, but it quickly turned into a dreadful experience. I reached out to customer service via Messenger, but their response was confusing and left me waiting for answers. I wish I had checked the board before giving it as a gift!"

"I got this for my friend's 8-year-old daughter, and she absolutely loves it! She was able to use it almost immediately, and it's very colorful. It came charged, and I can't speak to its long-term durability, but it seems like a great choice out of the box."

"When I gifted this hoverboard to my kids for Christmas, they were thrilled! It came in great packaging, and after charging it for a few hours, they were ready to ride. The Bluetooth sound quality was impressive and loud enough for our quiet neighborhood. While the battery lasts just a couple of hours with music, it hasn't stopped them from riding both indoors and outdoors. They learned to balance in about 10-15 minutes and are now doing tricks!"

"My 4-year-old granddaughter has become a pro on this hoverboard! She adores the music feature and the lights. The design is streamlined and feels high-quality. I appreciate the safety alert that warns when a recharge is needed!"

"I couldn't be happier with my first hoverboard! It's smooth and easy to use, even for a beginner like my 7-year-old. The design is sleek and the lights add a cool touch, especially at night. It's been a fun and exciting way to get around."

"I recently purchased the Hover-1 My First Hoverboard for my child, and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. This electric self-balancing hoverboard is perfect for young riders with its 5 mph max speed. The self-balancing technology makes it easy for beginners, providing a smooth and stable ride. The LED lights add a stylish touch, and the battery life is quite impressive!"

"Total junk and a waste of money. My son was so excited to receive it for his birthday, but after charging and using it twice, one of the pressure pads stopped working, making the board inoperable. The company's process for returning it is ridiculous! Never again. I recommend finding a more reputable brand."

"I bought this for my 14yo grandson, and my 6yo can operate it just as easily. The hoverboard is smooth when turning and starting."

"I decided to purchase this hoverboard for my nephew's 7th birthday after seeing great reviews. He absolutely loved it! The colors, lights, and sleek design captivated him. It was easy for him to learn to ride, and he enjoyed it for a while. Unfortunately, it broke down just before the guarantee expired. However, the customer service was amazing! They helped us with the return and sent a new one promptly. He loves his hoverboard again and is even asking Santa for another one!"

"This is my second hoverboard purchase from Amazon. The first one had poor quality, but this one is heavy-duty and excellent! It's big enough for adults, has a unique color, and the Bluetooth feature is fantastic. It also rides a long distance on a single charge. I highly recommend it!"

"I was really disappointed when the hoverboard I bought for my son didn't work at all. We charged it fully, but it only turned on while plugged in. I reached out to customer service, but they told me to get a refund through Amazon."

"I bought this hoverboard as a Christmas gift for my daughter, but it was defective right out of the box. I had to pay for return shipping, and nobody has contacted me to resolve the issue. I'm very disappointed."

"We purchased two hoverboards, but unfortunately, both had broken wheels and didn't work at all. It was incredibly frustrating for the kids, who couldn't use them."

"I bought two hoverboards for my kids for Christmas. They had a blast riding them, but one stopped working within a week. The company was quick to respond and offered a replacement, which arrived promptly. I noticed the replacement was a slightly updated version. The other hoverboard is still functioning well, and my daughter rides hers everywhere. Overall, they're a lot of fun!"

"My experience with this hoverboard has been less than enjoyable. I've had three minor safety incidents, even on gentle inclines, which nearly resulted in a major fall. I've been riding for over five years, so this was unexpected. The lights are quite dim compared to what I expected, and the battery life was disappointing, lasting only about 4 miles instead of the promised 8. Overall, I was hoping for a better experience, especially after being burned by this brand before."

"I got this hoverboard as a Christmas gift for my son, but it arrived used instead of new, despite paying over $200. So far, he has only used it for a few minutes indoors. I'm waiting for the weather to clear up so we can try it with the go-kart attachment. Hopefully, it holds up!"
