Questions riders ask
What does the set include?
The Chrome Blue hoverboard with 6.5-inch wheels, together with a Hoverkart with Suspension, a go-kart seat for hoverboards.
Why a kart with suspension?
Because it makes sitting more comfortable: the suspension gives extra comfort on the seated ride. Standing on the board, you ride without the kart.
How does the board know where to go?
It follows your weight. Gyroscope sensors and the motor keep it level, so leaning forward sets you moving, leaning back slows you down or reverses, and pressing with one foot turns it.
Can the set go on grass?
The 6.5-inch wheels are not off-road tyres. For grass, sand and unpaved ground, look at the Off-Road Hoverboard instead: its 8.5-inch off-road tyres are designed for that, and it is also available in sets with a Hoverkart. On any ground the rule stays the same: private land, with the landowner's permission.
How do I charge the set?
Only the board needs charging, as the Hoverkart carries neither motor nor battery. Connect the board's supplied charger, keep a hard, dry surface under the board, and stay nearby until it is full.
How do you steer when seated?
With your hands rather than your feet. You sit on the frame with the board underneath: one lever makes one wheel go faster, the other slows the opposite wheel, and that is how you change direction.
Can the board still be ridden standing?
Yes. Loosen the straps, lift the board clear of the frame and it is a standing hoverboard again; the seat goes back on whenever you want to sit.
Will the frame fit an adult?
It adjusts from child to adult size. The supplier has yet to give a seated weight limit, so for a heavier rider, ask us first.

Charger and plug

- Charger model
- [TO CONFIRM: charger model number]
Your board's own charger, from its box, is the only one to use. A charger built for a different battery can start a fire; if yours is lost or damaged, ask us before you buy a new one. Plug it straight into a wall socket and do not use a travel adaptor.
Charging at home
- Where: indoors, in a dry room at normal room temperature, on tiles, stone or concrete, with nothing that can burn close by.
- Not in a hallway, on the stairs or by the front door: escape routes stay clear.
- When: only when the pack is no longer warm from the ride, and only while you are in and awake. No overnight charging.
- Done: unplug the charger. Never cover the board or the charger.
Stop and contact us
Warning signs: the pack bulges, feels hot to the touch, leaks, smells of chemicals, fizzes, crackles or smokes. Stop, unplug, move away from it and contact us. A damaged battery is never ridden or charged again.
Fire: leave the building with everyone else and phone 999 from outside; putting it out is a job for the fire service.
Recycling
Household bins, including the recycling bin, are the wrong place for this board, its pack or its charger. Anything with a lithium-ion pack inside has to be handed in separately.
Recycling the board and battery
Sending a battery product back
Lithium-ion batteries are dangerous goods in transport. Talk to us before you return anything that has one, and we will book a carrier that accepts it. If a battery looks damaged, has swollen, leaks or has got too hot, do not post it: message us first and wait for our instructions.
Riding rules in Great Britain
With the Hoverkart seat fitted, the law still sees a powered transporter. Private land only, if the owner agrees: never on a public road or pavement, never in cycle lanes, car parks, playgrounds or parks, and nowhere open to the public.
Kit for each rider, each time: a helmet first, then guards on both wrists, elbows and knees. Children only ride while an adult supervises them the whole time.
Board alone: recommended age from around 8, with adult supervision, for riders up to 100 kg. With the seat on: [TO CONFIRM: weight limit and minimum age with the seat on]
