what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back in today's video we are
checking out one of the latest and also one of the most powerful hoverboards from gotrax
so this one has dual 250 watt motors and on one charge you can get between five and seven miles
of range of course that range will depend on your weight because if you're heavier like me you're
not gonna get that seven miles and of course the terrain that you're riding on now this is also
quite heavy it weights 22 pounds so if you do run out of power you're gonna have to carry this
and 22 pounds is not easy to carry for an extended period of time so this one has 8.5 inch wheels and
if you're planning to buy a hoverboard i highly recommend that you get one that has 8.5 inch
wheels versus one that has 6.5 inch wheels i also have one of those but those aren't as easy to ride
since this one has the bigger wheels you can kind of go off-road well not necessarily off-road but
you don't necessarily need a flat surface to ride this on so this one can go a bit over grass you
can go over some rocks with other ones that have smaller wheels riding isn't that easy so whatever
um hoverboard you may get try and get one that has 8.5 inch wheels because it's gonna make your
life way easier all right so for a super quick unboxing in the box you're obviously going to
find the hoverboard that is also a user manual and if this is your first hoverboard maybe that user
manual will come in handy and of course you're going to find the charger now charging this from
zero to 100 takes between three and four hours i'm going to say about three hours and a half so when
you run out of power you know that you're gonna have to wait about three hours to get back on it
the maximum speed for this particular hoverboard is 7.4 miles an hour that's about 12 kilometers
an hour and even though that doesn't sound like a lot when you're actually riding at that speed
this feels extremely fast not to mention that if you're gonna fall at that speed it's not gonna be
great so always remember to use protective gear whenever you're riding on one of these the
hoverboard itself is mostly made out of plastic and rubber of course the wheels here are made out
of rubber inside the wheels here we also have some leds now unfortunately you can't really see these
indirect sunlight however if you are riding in the evening you can definitely see those leds inside
the wheels we have some more leds on the back here so whenever we are riding these are going
to be blue if you turn left or right they're going to flash yellow depending on the direction that
you're going and whenever you break they're gonna turn red so these are kind of like turn signals on
the back of the hoverboard here and then we have two more leds on the front here or on the top here
one of them will show you whenever you're low on battery but unfortunately the low battery led is
kind of useless because whenever this comes on the hoverboard is kind of done so you're
not going to be able to ride that much longer whenever this light comes on the top side here is
also made out of rubber so wherever your feet are standing is rubber that makes sense so you don't
actually slip and at the bottom we also have some holes for the speakers so this is also a bluetooth
speaker whenever you turn it on you can connect to it and the hoverboard can actually play music
personally i don't do that when i ride because i find it a bit cringey but i did see some other
people riding hoverboards and having music playing while they ride riding one of these is also a lot
of fun after you get used to it it's gonna take you two or three days to get used to it at first
it is a bit overwhelming but once you get used to it it is a lot of fun to ride this particular roll
also has a self-balancing function so it will keep itself straight but you can also turn that
off and once you're used to it and you know how to ride it good it's actually more fun to turn that
off than have it on power wise this has plenty of power for most people mostly if you're riding on a
flat surface it does have a lot of power but when you go uphill you're gonna feel the hoverboard
slowing down of course that has a lot to do with your weight because if you're heavier like me
the hoverboard will slow down more but whenever my daughter rides the hoverboard it doesn't slow down
uphill so it really depends on your weight basically but overall i feel that it has plenty
of power for most people so to quickly conclude this video a hoverboard like this one is a lot of
fun i'm happy with the battery life i'm happy with the power that it has the build quality is also
pretty good i wish to have had a better battery meter because the way it is you don't really
know how much power you have left and you may run out of power while riding and then you have
to carry it which kind of one sucks now compared to the other one that i have i have a smaller um
one that has 6.5 inches wheels this one is much much better because you can actually ride them
on sidewalks you can go over on gravel and such because the wheels are bigger so if you do plan
on buying a hoverboard one that has 8.5 inch wheels is definitely the way to go all right
guys hopefully you enjoyed this video thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one
