Best Hoverboards of 2024
A hoverboard is a self-balancing transportation device that consists of a standing board with two wheels. The surface of the board contains two pads, one for each foot. To control the speed of the board, the user tilts forward or back. The device, which runs on batteries, is easy to steer with a right or left twist of the pads. In a sense, the hoverboard is like an electronic, side-turned skateboard.
The device in its present form hit the market in 2014 and was first manufactured in China. The hoverboard gained quick popularity, as celebrities such as Jamie Foxx, Chris Brown, Wiz Khalifa and Kendall Jenner endorsed various models of the new device. During 2016, consumers purchased half a million hoverboards in the United States.
The term "hoverboard" dates back to M. K. Joseph's 1967 sci-fi novel The Hole in the Zero. In 1989, the concept came to the big screen in the action/comedy Back to the Future Part II, in which Marty McFly — Michael J. Fox — rides what appears to be a floating, electric skateboard. When the movie came to theaters in 1989, the fictional device portrayed an anticipation of 2015 technology. As such, the realization of the hoverboard has been a prophecy fulfilled — though, of course, modern hoverboards don't defy gravity.

What Sets Halo Hoverboards Apart
All hoverboards by Halo Board come with a uniform set of safety features, training modes and performance capabilities.
UL 2271-Certified LG Ion Battery
Halo Rover hoverboards get their power from the fire-safe UL 2271-certified LG ion battery, which allows riders to practice and travel over wet and dry terrain alike with no fear of fire issues.
Training Modes
The training modes feature is also a prime attraction of all Halo Board hoverboards. With the training modes of beginner, normal and advanced, people at all skill levels can enjoy Halo hoverboards. Whether you are stepping onto a hoverboard for the first time or doing moves and turns like a seasoned pro, you can do so safely and with ease on Halo's smooth-riding hoverboards.
800-Watt Dual Motors
Another robust feature of the Halo hoverboard is its powerful motor that allows users to travel at top speeds. The Halo Rover, for example, gets its power from dual 800-watt motors that can go at speeds of up to 10 miles per hour. Moreover, the Rover can get more than two hours of running time during each battery-charge cycle. For people who opt to travel to work or school and back each day without cars or public transportation, the Halo hoverboard is a powerful and efficient alternative.
Rugged Tires
One of the most important features of a hoverboard is the tires. To deliver a smooth and safe ride along a given terrain, the tires must maintain contact with the ground regardless of irregularities. With Halo hoverboards, you can ride safely over bumpy roads and sidewalks, gravelly roads, dirt-laden stretches, grassy lands and puddles. Best of all, the tires on Halo hoverboards never go flat.
Ride-Assist Technology
Halo Board also produces the safest hoverboards on the market, thanks to ride-assist technology, which ensures each board remains upright at all times. Whether you ride over a bump, go up an incline or make a sharp turn, Halo hoverboards stay upright for the entire time the board is on and actively in use. When it comes to safety across the irregularities of a given terrain, ride-assist technology prevents instances of balance loss.
Protective Wings
Halo hoverboards are also largely damage-proof thanks to the design of the aluminum protective wings. On the Halo Rover, the wings absorb the impact of falls. They prevent the hoverboard from getting cracked, split or otherwise damaged whenever you are outside riding the Rover aggressively along bumpy or twisty roads and pathways.
Halo Rover Mobile App
Another feature that makes Halo Board hoverboards optimal for today's scooting enthusiast is the Halo Rover mobile app, which allows you to control the board at your fingertips. With the Halo Rover app, you can track the speed at which you ride and also keep an eye on the battery life. Moreover, the app lets you record the distances you travel and can also map each ride from start to finish. With the Halo mobile app, you don't have to reach for control switches or worry about whether your battery is about to run out of energy.
Halo Bluetooth Speakers
With Halo hoverboards, you can also enjoy music on the go thanks to the built-in Halo Bluetooth speakers, which connect with music apps and allow you to stream any music of your choice. Whether you load your smartphone with music files or stream via Wi-Fi, you can fill each riding adventure with crystal-clear musical sounds.
UL 2272 and UL 2271 Certification
As a Halo customer, you get the added security of knowing all Halo hoverboards are U.S. consumer safety certified. The manufacturer has tested each model across all types of terrain and riding conditions, and has received UL 2272 — hoverboard — and UL 2271 — battery — safety certifications.
