7 Fastest Hoverboards of 2024 (Ranked by Tested Speed) (2024)

Gyroor G2

With a GPS-confirmed top speed of 9.9 MPH, the Gyroor G2 top our list as the fastest hoverboard you can buy.

Powered by dual 350W motors, the G2 has enough torque and acceleration prowess to climb steep inclines of up to 20%.

However, the Gyroor G2 isn't just about speed - thanks to its deep-treaded 8.5" solid tires, it comfortably cruises over obstacles and unven surfaces to make it a viable all-terrain hoverboard.

With a tested range of 6.4 miles, the G2 offers the second best mileage we've ever tested.

At 33 lbs, this self-balancing hoverboard is a bit heavy but it is warranted by the powerful motors and high-capacity battery.

The G2 isn't just a fast hoverboard - it is one of the most versatile models we've tested, which is why it also tops our list of the best hoverboards of the year.

Halo Rover X

The iconic Halo Rover X comes in second with a tested maximum speed of 9.8 MPH.

The Halo Rover X is has been a household name in the industry for years - and for good reason. We've ridden our Rover X for more than 300 miles and it has held up with no issues and performance is intact two years later.

While the Rover X loses out to the G2 on speed by a hair (0.1 MPH to be exact), it has the most powerful motors in the industry. Its 800W nominal output makes it the best hill-climbing hoverboard we've ever tested.

The Halo Rover X continues to impress with 6.9 miles of real-world range. This hoverboard truly goes the distance where alternatives fall short.

With a vast feature set including a smartphone app, Blueooth speakers and three riding modes, the Halo Rover X sets itself apart as one of the most versatile hoverboards for kids and adults alike.

Its premium performance and features come with tradeoffs in price and weight, but you get what you pay for.

Gyroor Y1 Pro

The beautiful gold-wheeled Gyroor Y1 Pro is a force to be reckoned with. Its substantial 350W motors deliver a tested max speed of 9.7 MPH; and the acceleration from 0-5 MPH is the fastest we've tested.

Despite its impressive power and 6.2 miles of confirmed range, the Y1 Pro is nimble. Its true strength lies in the 25.6 lbs that - along with the 8.5" solid tires - make it an incredibly capable off-road hoverboard.

A high weight capacity of 300 lbs is a testament to its reliable built quality and features like a smartphone app, 3 ride modes and Bluetooth audio make it a fan favorite.

The frame is made from a strong single-piece aluminum alloy and we really love the carrying handle that makes it easy to transport.

Swagtron Swagboard Warrior XL

The Swagtron Swagboard Warrior XL stands out for its blend of safety and performance.

The heart of its appeal lies in the LiFePO4 battery. With concerns about hoverboard recalls and fires, it stands out with newer and safer battery technology.

With 102.4 Wh of capacity, this board not only offers a safer ride, especially crucial for kids and novice riders, but it also outlasts standard lithium-ion batteries.

We were able to reach a respectable top speed of 7.9 MPH on the Warrior XL. While it doesn't top the list, it stays competitive at affordable price.

The Swagtron Warrior XL shines further in its user-friendly feature set. Bluetooth speakers allow for an entertaining ride while adjustable ride modes cater to both beginners and more experienced riders.

The only real issue we found with the Bluetooth connectivity is that it seems to draw battery faster than alternatives.

Hover-1 Titan

We recently had the chance to test the Hover-1 Titan, and it's fair to say it's the luxury sedan of hoverboards. Riding it feels like gliding on air, thanks to the 10-inch pneumatic tires that effortlessly absorb bumps and cracks.

Unlike other hoverboards that might leave you with a rattling experience, the Titan maintains its smooth composure even on challenging terrains.

The real standout feature for us was its terrain versatility. Whether we were cruising over grass, dirt, or pavement, the Titan provided an exceptionally comfortable ride, almost making you forget the surface underneath.

While it may not break any speed records, the Titan's 7.8 MPH top speed and 6.4-mile range make it an ideal choice for leisurely explorations. We found it perfect for relaxed journeys around a college campus or a park, ensuring a comfortable journey from start to finish.

Gyroor G13

The Gyroor G13 is one of the most kids-friendly hoverboards on the list. With a fair yet limited top speed of 7.2 MPH, it is thrilling without compromising safety.

Weighing in at 20 lbs, the Gyroor G13 is portable and its 176 lbs weight capacity makes it a solid choice for kids and growing teens between 6-15 years.

The 6.5" pneumatic tires are another highlight. They significantly enhace ride comfort by reducing road vibrations, which is an exceedingly rare feature in the hoverboard market.

What truly makes the G13 kids-approved is its fun features. It has vibrant LED headlights for visiblility, integrated Bluetooth speakers for a spark of audio fun, and several ride modes to cater to different skill levels.

Jetson Spin

If you're venturing into the world of hoverboards and are looking for an option that's kind to your wallet, the Jetson Spin stands out among the most affordable hoverboards.

As one of the best budget-friendly hoverboards on the market, the Jetson Spin reaches a comfortable max speed of 6.7 MPH. Although it has a limited range of 5.1 miles per charge and the charging time could be better, these specs are more than sufficient for those shorter, enjoyable excursions.

One of the Spin's standout features is its lightweight design, making it especially suitable for kids and first-time hoverboard users. We like the inclusion of side lights as it enhances visibility and overall safety.

While the Jetson Spin may lack advanced features like Bluetooth speakers or an extended battery life, it delivers the quintessential hoverboard experience. For those who want to enjoy the thrill of hoverboarding without a hefty price tag, the Jetson Spin is a fantastic and economically sound choice.
