Hoverkart Buying Guide: A Few Things To Consider For Choosing The Perfect One

Hoverboards are so much fun and are loved by adults and children alike. While just riding a hoverboard in the normal way will never get boring, it can be fun to switch it up now and again and try something new.

Hoverkarts attach to hoverboards to turn them into a go-kart with a seat and three or four wheels. This enables you to use your hoverboard in a whole new way which can be even more fun than just standing on it. Hoverkarts are relatively new pieces of technology so not many people know how to decide between the different options.

To help you make the best decision, here is our hoverkart buying guide for choosing the perfect model for you.

1. Make Sure the Hoverkart is Safe

One of the main benefits of converting your hoverboard into a hoverkart is that they are very safe. With a hoverkraft, you are sat down rather than standing as you would do on the board. Make sure that all the attachments are secure and that the handles work perfectly when you first purchase the hoverkart. If there is an issue, you should return it and exchange it for a different one.

Before making a purchase, check online reviews to make sure that no one has had any issues with your chosen kart. Tire size makes a big difference when it comes to safety and stability of the hoverkart and you should choose a kart with at least seven to nine inch tires.

2. Choose a Highly Adjustable Kart

Hoverkarts are excellent because they will usually fit every standard sized hoverboard. The hoverboard forms the back wheels of the kart and then there is a further front wheel or pair of wheels which make up the kart. When choosing hoverkart, make sure that you can adjust it for different sized people. The best hoverkarts have adjustable frame lengths, handlebars, and seats and you can visit online Smart Balance Shops to see some options.

There are some hoverkarts which are designed especially for larger users which may be better for adults and older teenagers. Try and test ride the kart in the store to make sure that you can fit comfortably or that you can adjust it easily.

3. Make sure the Kart is Easy to Set Up

Most hoverkarts come with clear instructions which show you exactly how to connect it to your hoverboard. They are usually very easy to attach using straps which will keep everything safe and secure. If your hoverkart doesn't come with instructions then you may be able to download them from the Internet. When choosing between different models, look for a hoverkart which can be connected and disconnected quickly and easily so that you can switch effortlessly between your kart and board.

4. Choose a Hoverkart which is Easy to Control

Most hoverkarts work by pushing and pulling two handles which work in the same way as leaning forwards and backwards on a hoverboard. The two handles are attached to the two halves of your kart and enable you to control direction and speed. When you are looking for a hoverkart, make sure that you choose one which rotates in every direction.

The best karts for this are ones which have 360 degree wheel drifts. This will give you unrestricted control of your hoverkart so that it is ultra maneuverable. For further control, make sure that you choose a hoverkart attachment which has rear wheel drive. There are now some hoverkarts which have two front wheels and a steering wheel and this could be a good option for extra stability and control.

5. Check if Your Hoverkart is Compatible with an App

Hoverboards and hoverkarts are incredible technology and to upgrade that technology further, there are apps which you can connect to your vehicle. The apps allow you to adjust all kinds of settings on your vehicle to change its performance. The most advanced have multiple modes which provide different experiences for the rider so that the hoverkart can be optimized depending on terrain or road surfaces.

The app will also enable you to check the battery level on your hoverboard and to see how fast you are going. Some hoverboards and karts can reach 15mph so if you enjoy a bit of speed then make sure you check the capabilities of your board.
