Hovertrax Max Speed & Range
The max speed for the Razor Hovertrax Self Balancing Scooter is conservative at 6 mph (10km/hr.). This maximum speed could be the ideal speed, if speed is not what you are looking in a self balancing scooter. It may fit well for a kid who is just starting to ride the Hovertrax. When we say this, we mean it may be the perfect device for someone like a child at the ten to fourteen years-old range. It can also be the perfect speed for someone who will use it at the office, or just ride in a park.
As for the range, the Hovertrax will keep you rolling for 2 hours. Again, the range depend on the speed you will be riding at and the terrain you will be riding on. It is obvious that if you are going uphill a lot, more will be asked from your batter. in exchange , the battery won’t last as long. Same goes for the weight of the rider, A child weighing just under 100lbs. will undoubtedly require less strength from the battery.

When we trialed the Razor Hovertrax Self Balancing Scooter and the Hovertrax DLX, we were amazingly surprised at how smooth it ran. Razor has been around for a long time in scooter building and when they designed the Hovertrax they made sure all aspects of safety were addressed. Compared to some of its competitors, the Razor Hovertrax Self Balancing Scooter was very quiet. Coupled to its quietness, we liked the safety approach Razor emphasized in its manual.

Let’s have a look at the pros from our trial of the Razor Hovertrax:
- Quick shipping within one to two day delivery;
- Wide pedals with rubber matting to avoid slippage;
- * Great range at 115 minutes;
- Detailed and comprehensive Instruction Manual;
- Safety focused instructions;
- Customer Support adequate; and
- ** U.S. based and established company.
* The range of 115 minutes is not fixed and will depend on the weight of the rider, the terrain, the speed, the board maintenance and upkeep.
** Although the Razor company has offices in the U.S., some parts of the board are designed and constructed in China. We asked you exercise caution and inspect your board when purchasing it. Look for loose parts, loos wires especially around the battery pack and the wheels.
