Features of TOMOLOO Music-Rhythmed Hoverboard
1) The primary defining feature of the TOMOLOO Music-Rhythmed hoverboard for Kids and Adults is explained in its name. A whole bunch of LED lights positioned across the board flash, pulse and twinkle in time with the music, making for an impressive light show while the board is in operation and music is playing.
2) Not only this, but the board features some of the highest-quality stereo speakers built into a sub-$200 board to date. Coupled with Bluetooth speaker 4.0, the TOMOLOO Music-Rhythmed self balancing scooter makes for an incredibly entertaining ride.
3) Along with looking the part, the board has also been manufactured from the highest quality fire-resistant materials. It’s been put through the most stringent safety checks by its manufacturer to earn UL2272 certified and features a robust temperature-resistant chassis.
4) Under the hood, there’s enough power to comfortably transport kids and adults up to a maximum of 220lbs. The board is capable of dealing with inclines up to 15° and has a maximum range of approximately 10 kilometers.
5) Irrespective of rider weight, the TOMOLOO Music-Rhythmed hoverboard is able to cruise along at a solid 12kmh. Which is significantly faster than many boards within the sub-$200 brackets.
6) The manufacturer covers every purchase with a 12-month warranty for additional peace of mind.
7) Despite packing such incredible power and performance, the total weight of the board is just over 17lbs. This is significantly less than many other boards within its class and very easy to transport.
My Experience With TOMOLOO Music-Rhythmed Hoverboard
It was actually my daughter who set her sights on the TOMOLOO Music-Rhythmed self-balancing scooter after one of her friends turned up the park on hers. One thing I can tell you right off the bat – you can see and hear this thing coming from a mile away. Connected to a Smartphone or tablet, the board is capable of blasting out tunes with pretty impressive power and quality.
As for the LEDs, it’s quite the self-contained disco that does its thing as the music plays. There’s no denying how great this thing looks, but I’ve always been more interested in performance than safety. It looks like a board that’s all style and no substance, but it turned out this wasn’t the case at all. Mount the TOMOLOO Music-Rhythmed hoverboard, and you feel an immediate sense of power, control, and maneuverability. That’s why I recommend it as one of the best hoverboards for kids.
A Speedy Board with a Decent Range
Particularly when flying around at its top speed of 12kmh, it feels significantly quicker than a lot of comparable boards. It doesn’t flinch when carrying heavy riders and nor does it shy away from moderate inclines. The TOMOLOO Music-Rhythm led hoverboard has been designed to perform best on hard and smooth surfaces, but it’s also great on grass, hard dirt and the original rough patch. It hasn’t been certified as waterproof, so I didn’t test it in wet conditions.
I was also quite impressed with its range, which I calculated to average around 10km – just as the manufacturer specifies. Charging times are average, but solid enough when considering the hour or so of operational time you get from each charge. I had a great time testing it on the pathways and pavements around our home – my daughter simply couldn’t get enough of it.
I was more about its general performance, whereas she fell in love with the audio-visual side of things. In fact, the only slight criticism I came up with while reviewing the TOMOLOO Music-rhythmed hoverboard was the fact that there is no option to deactivate the music- rhythmed lights.
If I was using it on a regular basis, I probably wouldn’t want the lights making such a spectacle of things at all times. In addition, an option to deactivate the lights could probably improve its battery life and range, which would be an added selling point.
Pros
- Beautifully designed and well presented
- An incredible music-rhythmed light show
- Impressive speaker quality and sound output
- Consistent power and performance
- Surprisingly nippy with a good range
- Easy to ride for adults and kids alike
- Decent charging time
- Very affordable as a first scooter
Cons
- The music-activated lights cannot be deactivated
- Not waterproof so unsuitable for wet weather
Conclusion
As mentioned, my only minor gripe with the TOMOLOO Music-Rhythmed Hoverboard was the fact that the light show can’t be turned off. Nevertheless, you wouldn’t buy a board like this in the first place if that was your intention.
The whole point of the thing is to put on and enjoy an audio-visual spectacle to enhance every ride. In this department, the TOMOLOO scores top marks. Nevertheless, remove all the visual embellishments, and you would still be looking at an impressive board.
There’s more than enough power under the hood to deal with heavier adults. In addition, the top speed is spot on, and the range is just right. It’s also fully safety-certified for total peace of mind and ships with a manufacturer’s warranty.

Purchase this Hoverboard as a gift for my 11 year old granddaughter. After doing some research this was my first choice because: the high safety ranking, it is fun for kids, self balancing makes it easy to learn, it can be personalized as she gains more experience, it has cool speakers and lights that she will enjoy. The price makes it a great value.The cons are: it is not waterproof and the lights and music cannot be turned off.
