Hoverboard is a comparatively new
item on the market, and, despite of scandal news about hoverboards catch fire,
it looks like two wheel balance board opened a new era of transportation.
In this article I would like to talk
more about tires sizes, and hope this information will be useful and
interesting for those who are thinking about buying a hoverboard.
Like with many modes of transportation, the size of the wheels is important to consider.
6.5-7 inch wheels
make a hoverboard smaller and more efficient. While this is fine for smooth
surfaces, hoverboard users may find that these smaller wheels will wheel spin
when coming off the ground on an uneven surface. When the wheel regains contact
with the ground, it’ll jerk forward and cause some users to lose control –
especially when riding at high speed. This means that hoverboard users have to
ride slowly over uneven surfaces, even at walking pace, to make sure they stay
balanced and safe. The use of smaller wheels also means
that hoverboards won’t perform well against curbs, or any other kind of
slightly elevated surface.
8 inch wheels
should provide a slightly higher level of stability than than those using the
6.5-7in wheels, whilst preserving its relatively small and compact form factor.
With this being said, if you’re looking for something that could handle
off-roading, I would advise the 10 inch variation.
10 inch wheels
is visibly larger than its smaller counterparts – almost to the point where it
looks out of proportion – but handles off-roading on grassy, uneven surfaces
with fewer issues.
Size of tires determines not only surfice, on which
you can ride, but also the top speed of a hoverboard.
Top speed for 6.5-7 inch
wheels is 7mph. Despite the slightly larger 8 inch wheels,
you'll realistically be cruising at the same speed as 6.5 inch. Bigger 10 inch wheels can
get up to a top speed of 10-12 mph.
