Why We Chose Simateboards

1. Safety

When it comes to hoverboards, safety is a top priority. In 2015 most hoverboards were reported to have a history of overheating and becoming a fire hazard. The government imposes strict regulations on what is sold in the United States therefore every hoverboard must be UL2272 certified.

 

NB: To ensure the hoverboard is safe, look for a UL 2272 certification. This assures that the risk of fire or battery explosion is significantly reduced. DO NOT BUY hoverboards without this certification.

 

2. Size

The size of the hoverboard is important. More especially if you are a kid or inexperienced rider, make sure the board is not too big. In the world of hoverboards, size is generally estimated by the diameter of the wheel. For younger children, it's best to look for wheels that are  5 to 6.5 inches or smaller. Some hoverboards on the list have 8.5-inch wheels and are suitable for ages 13  and up. Many kids love the Simate Apato 6.5 because of its portable size.

3. Speed

Simate hoverboards are designed for kids. Therefore Hoverboards, especially for kids, aren't designed to move fast, but you still need to be careful. The normal speed range for the Kids Board is 6-9 mph. They need to determine if they are ready to steer a board that can reach that speed.  The boards come with an app that parents can use to limit speed. Parent-controlled speed limits are always a plus for toddlers and beginners.

 

4. Range

Usually, the normal range is  6 to 9 miles, and the driver can ride continuously for about 1-4 hour. The hoverboard runs on a battery-charged motor and therefore needs to be charged fully.

 

5. Tire Type

Simate hoverboards are usually equipped with sturdy rubber tires. These work well on flat and hard surfaces. Rubber tires are suitable for off-road driving. They are durable and can pass through surfaces such as soil, light gravel, and even sand.

 

6. Age Limit

Not many board manufacturers have an age limit, but Simate hoverboards 6.5'' Apato are specially designed for children. You can adjust the speed as you want to.
