The 15 Best Off Road Hoverboards

The adrenaline junkies always look for different gadgets that will indulge their adventurous streak. The off-road hoverboards are fairly new rideables that will give you enough thrills.

Rain or shine, off road hoverboards will be able to withstand the different types of terrains, unlike the traditional models that are made for smooth roads. They provide the rider with speed, stability, and range, among other important considerations.

What is it about those gadgets that you should be looking for when shopping for an off-road hoverboard?

Some of the specs to look for

Motor Power

For the off-road hoverboards it is imperative that the motor is strong enough to be able to propel the heavier and larger tires. Usually, the all terrain boards come with dual motors, each being at least 250-watts. They are paired with a 36v battery as well.

If you choose to, you can go even higher in power, especially if you know that the terrains where you’re venturing to are especially treacherous. One thing to keep in mind is that the more powerful the motor, the faster it will drain the battery.

Battery and Range

Which brings us to the next point, battery life and strength. Most boards use lithium-ion batteries, even though they are known to be unstable. They are thoroughly tested though, and considered safe.

The range might also be important when shopping for your board. They are usually in the 7-15 miles range before they need to recharge. And they usually take 2-4 hours to recharge, so be mindful of that when planning your outings.

Speed and Hill Grade

If you’re into hoverboards, chances are you like speed. The average hoverboard can go at about 6mph, but the pricier ones can top 10mph. That’s pretty fast for a board that has no protection.

Another consideration is the board’s ability to handle hills. Most models on this list are able to handle inclines that are between 18-30 degrees. Anything steeper is probably too dangerous to venture on, so keep that in mind.

Wheel Size and Type

One important factor to consider is the wheels. They need to be rugged, sturdy, and have great threads. Some terminology to keep in mind is pneumatic, Never-Flat, or tubeless. Shock-absorbance will do wonders to your overall comfort.

The all-terrain hoverboards come with wheels that are around 6.5-inches, all the way up to 10.5-inches. The larger the wheel, the easier it is to ride.

Weight Limit

It might seem self-implied, but check for the weight limit the board is able to handle. We are not all created equally, so keep an eye on the maximum weight the board says it can handle.

They usually can go to an average of 220lb, but some go up to 300lbs. That is also linked to the motor wattage, so if the board doesn’t specify the weight it can handle, go with a more powerful motor.

Safety

Last but not least, safety is the most important consideration. This is not a time to skimp on safety features to save a few bucks. If you’re a first time rider, look for a UL certification. They will usually include the UL2272 compliance certification, so you know you’re in good hands.
What those numbers mean is that the board passes battery safety, electrical and fire issues.

Just like any new hobby, be prudent at first, until you get a feel for the board. Then you can venture out and get more bold. Remember that safety is more important than fun! Having said all this, check out the 15 best off road hoverboards:
