Features of Hoverheart 6.5 Inch Hoverboard
1) First and foremost, you don’t have to worry about safety with the Hoverheart 6.5 Inch Self balancing scooter. It’s been subjected to the usual 159 tests to earn full UL 2272 certification. So when it comes to battery safety, you know you’re covered.
2) The 6.5-inch allow wheels are coated in solid rubber tires, meaning no problems with punctures or tire pressures along the way. Far from limited to smooth surfaces only, the manufacturer sings the praises of the balancing electric Scooter on a variety of surfaces – on and off-road.
3) Most of the varieties on the market right now come in serious, impressive chrome finishes – blue, gold, rose gold, and more. This thing seriously stands out from the crowd.
4) Unlike a fair few scooters in the same price range, the Hoverheart two wheel electric Self Balancing Scooter features a high-quality Bluetooth for taking your tunes on the go.
5) Twin 200-W motors deliver plenty of power to the wheels while charging times come in at an average two to three hours max.
6) According to the manufacturer, the Hoverheart Self Balancing Scooter is good for speeds of 6mph to 10mph tops, along with a maximum range of around 12km.
7) Great for use in darker conditions, it also has a whole bunch of extra LEDs that go all the way up to the top of the wheels. Great for safety, great for looking good!
8) And as would be expected, the maximum weight limit for the Hoverheart Self Balancing Scooter is the usual 220lbs.
My Experience with Hoverheart 6.5 Inch Hoverboard
So now onto the guts of the thing – how did the Hoverheart 6.5 Inch scooter perform when put to the test? More importantly, should you go out and buy one right now?
Well, right out of the box, there’s no denying how impressive the thing looks. That chrome paint job is eye-popping and gives the board a real premium feel. Likewise, it’s nice and heavy, though not excessively so – far from flimsy in any case.
In my experience, the three-hour end of the charging time estimate is the most accurate product information – I never filled it in anything close to two hours, anyway! Still, three hours later, it was ready for me to put it through its paces. Typically, scooters with a 220lbs limit feel a bit labored under my 200lbs frame.
With the Hoverheart Self Balancing Scooter, this wasn’t the case at all. It honestly felt as if I could have stepped on it with my wife on my shoulders, and it’d still have done the business! Not that I would, but still – very impressive build quality and power.
Once you get moving, it’s the stability and responsiveness of this hoverboard that stand out as most impressive. Though it’s not mind-blowingly fast, it nonetheless has the kind of smooth ride and power that are so much more important than speed.
Decent Speed, Excellent Range
It cruises at around 6mph on most smooth surfaces, which is enough for most purposes. Taken off-road, grass and hard dirt are no problems for the Hoverheart. I didn’t test it on snow or sand and nor would I advise doing so, to be honest!
The range was also solid enough – 10km to 12km, depending on the surfaces and inclines. Speaking of which, uphill stretches were dealt with as easily as flats, which is pretty impressive for such an affordable board. Plus, the Bluetooth speaker is way more powerful and capable than I expect for this price range.
As for the downsides, the chrome finish isn’t going to last long with heavy use. Quite simply, it peels and scratches off at the first knock! Aside from this, the only real bugbear is the lack of waterproofing. Which means that once it starts raining, you’ll need to pack your Hoverheart away and find another way of getting home!
Pros
- Excellent power and performance in general
- Good battery life and range
- It looks amazing out of the box
- The extra LED lights and Bluetooth speaker are great
- Full battery protection for peace of mind
- Good build quality
Cons
- Paint scratches off way too easily
- Could maybe do with being a little faster
- No waterproofing so cannot be used in the rain
- Not suitable for rougher terrain
Conclusion:
Referring back to what I said right back at the beginning, buying an entry-level scooter will always mean sacrificing some things for the things you really want.
In the case of the Hoverheart 6.5 Inch Hoverboard, you get a great Bluetooth speaker, brilliant LED lights, and solid power. What you don’t get is waterproofing, fast-charging, or paint that stays in place for the duration!
Still, it all adds up to outstanding value for money. If not, the kind of $200 board that’s no less than a bargain. Whether looking for a toy for the kids or a reliable transporter, this thing has you covered.

Chasity Bigger says
We bought our daughter the pink Bluetooth hoverheart. The battery will not fully charge. I can not get in touch with anyone to help me. I have emailed and called the company with no luck. Hoping it’s as simple as a new charger or new battery. I can not return as I bought it on black Friday and we didn’t inbox until Christmas eve so a return is out of the question.
Trey says
Did u ever get it to fully charge
Samantha says
If one of your lights is not working when u rideing forward what is the problem with it
Brittany Watson says
Just means your putting most your weight on that one side thats litup! Nothing wrong!
Matt says
Hi, Nothing wrong with this. But try avoiding that. It may affect the balancing of your hoverboard which is not a good thing.

Jared Jester says
Looks good and rides well for my 10 year old daughter. But how does the Bluetooth connect? I can’t find it to link the t with my iPhone and I can’t find a user manual anywhere except for the vague instruction book which has no info regarding controlling the Bluetooth or (hopefully) volume control.
Any guidance will be helpful.
Lily says
Easy! Just go onto settings, then go to Bluetooth and connect to VEEKO and then ur all done and Bluetooth away!
Amanda white says
When you go under Bluetooth at the bottom it will say Bluetooth again click on it and it will start working and the volume is on the phone
Matt says
Hi Jared, Hoverboard Bluetooth is on when you switch on your hoverboard and it will get off when no devices are being connected for a while. For turning it on again you have switched off your hoverboard and turned it on back. Try to connect to it as soon as you switch on your hoverboard.
S. Romain says
Hoverboard will not charge at all! Purchased a new battery and when that one went dead it still won’t charge. The charger stays green instead of changing red when charging. Worst Christmas ever for my daughter!
Tobias says
You need to buy yourself a new charger. The charger has probably been damaged, seen this a thousand times. Always test with a borrowed charger from a friend before investing in a new battery. If your battery is dead that is.
If you want to test if the battery is bad while its still working you can stand against a wall and ride into the wall, just make sure to hold on to something.
If the battery is bad it’ll die and you will have to plug in the charger before you can get it to start. Then a new battery is needed.
Best regards, Tobias.
Sandy Pierce says
Where did you find a new battery?
Pamela Lewis says

Hi, Kindly contact your seller and ask for a replacement or refund. Using further with this issue may lead to fire hazards. Be Safe!

I just got one for my granddaughter hers. See her and her Daddy have been wanting to get her one but before it happened her daddy passed away so I thought this would put a smile on her face so I purchased one for her we received it 7/9/2018 maybe has ridden it maybe 45 min it will not charge and then when it says it was fully charged she took it outside got on it and now it continues to beep it will not stop and also says its not charged. So I hope they replace this or fix it. My granddaughter is 9 years old she went out got a hat with her dads and her last name BOSTON so she could wear it when she rides it and it will not work.

Just switch on your Hoverboard. Turn on Bluetooth from your iPhone, scan for the new devices, and click hoverboard device to pair it up. The Hoverboard will make a sound to tell you that a connection has been established.

Greg McGinnis says
Great hoverboard out of the box. Sturdy and lots of cool lights. My daughter loved it and took right to it. Then a week later the battery would last about 2 minutes on a full charge. Returned for a replacement and it worked great for 3-4 months and then same thing.. cool hoverboard, garbage battery. Sad. Waste of money unless you really like paperweights.
Matt Philips says
Hi Greg McGinnis,
Contact your seller and ask for the replacement.
