If I Weigh XXX lbs is it Safe for me to Ride a Hoverboard?
Bear in mind that going over the weight limit will not make the scooter unusable. It may just mean that it will be slower or struggle more, especially if the conditions are not ideal (say, the pavement is sleek or at an incline).
If you’re closer to your self balancing scooter weight limit, the most noticeable side effect will be that your battery won’t last as long as when a lighter rider uses it. Other than that, we’ve found it’s really hard to feel an impact to the self balancing scooter’s top speed. Definitely try to go with a bigger hoverboard. The 10-inch Inflatable Tire Hoverboard is the best option if you’re afraid you may be too heavy for your self balance board. And get it insured, just in case. If your tires need replacing or anything goes wrong, you will get a brand new one.
And if really fast speeds are what you’re after, you shouldn’t be looking at a 2 wheel hoverboard anyway.
