If you\u2019ve been out and about recently, you\u2019ve probably spotted kids whizzing about on wheeled, electronic balancing boards \u2013 often decked out with colourful LED lights and Bluetooth speakers<\/a>. The hoverboards you find in shops may not be quite as high-tech as the ones we all remember from Back To The Future II (if only)\u2026 But they do come with some seriously cool features.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before we go on, it\u2019s worth mentioning the laws around using hoverboards. In many countries, including the UK, it\u2019s illegal to ride them on roads and in areas designed for pedestrians, cyclists and horse-riders, such as pavements, cycle lanes and bridleways. You\u2019ll need to stick to your own garden or private land with the owner\u2019s permission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, we recommend you always use a helmet, gloves and knee and elbow pads when using a hoverboard to avoid painful bumps and scrapes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With a price tag under \u00a3200 and more than 4,500 five-star Amazon reviews, this is one of the best hoverboards for kids if you\u2019re on a budget. It doesn\u2019t scrimp on fun features, as it comes with colourful LED lights on and around the wheels, as well as two front-facing torches to light the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a built-in wireless speaker, which you can connect to your portable devices to enjoy music, podcasts or audiobooks on the move. For safety, rubber tyres and grippy foot pads complete the package.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This hoverboard comes in a range of bright colours, including green and blue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
