For Whom Hover-1 Firefly is Suitable?
Age 15 or more than that is recommended to ride this hoverboard. It is suitable for both teenagers and adults. It is according to the manufacturer. But I have seen personally, kids more than 8 years old can ride it without any problem. I hope my Hover-1 Firefly Review will help you to make the decision whether you should buy it or not.
How Long Does it Take for a Hover 1 Firefly to Charge?
4.5 hours for a full charge. It may vary from time to time.
4.5 Hours is moderate for any hoverboard. I have seen some hoverboard requires 2-3 hours, for example, RCB hoverboard, and some require 4-6 hours. Though it is not the highest but seems high in this technological era.
Alternative Of Hover-1 Firefly
- Product Note: Max speed and range per charge vary based on several factors, including: rider weight, riding surface, incline, ambient temperature, battery level, riding style (stop/start vs cruising), etc.
How Fast Can the Hover-1 Firefly Go?
7 miles per hour. Hover-1 Firefly or Superfly is built considering safety measures for kids. As result, they didn’t use the technology for the highest speed like 12miles per hour. From my experience, I have seen that kids feel safer when the hoverboard’s speed remains moderate. I think Hover-1 has done a great job by imitating it, as they are targeting kids mainly.
Hover-1 Firefly User Experience
Whenever I buy a hoverboard, at first I look for, any other one has purchased it or not. I still purchase it if no other picked it yet as my work is to help people by answering their questions about hoverboards. But I have seen there are thousands of people who already used it. I have used it as well.
More than 90% of users are saying that the hoverboard is super, easy to ride, takes only a few minutes to be comfortable on it. Let’s see what more users are saying about it-
- Its dazzling lighting system loves kids.
- Strong build quality and is quite responsive to command.
- The hoverboard is extremely powerful and provides smooth performance.
- 7Mph speed ensures safety for kids.
- The hoverboard has three settings modes, beginner, intermediate, expert that ensure extra advantage for beginners.
- Smartphone apps help to monitor speed, range, battery power, etc. I love their app’s features. You will find almost all the features on their apps. And it is quite easy to use. Just scan the QR code from the box, they will find the apps for you. Then download it and connect with the Hover-1 Firefly self-balancing scooter.
- According to users, anyone can ride it. It can handle kids and adults.
- Need to connect to BlueTooth each time. It doesn’t connect automatically after first use. So it seems problematic to me.
Do I Love it Personally?
My experience is not different from other users. I felt very comfortable when I was riding it for the first time. It took 5-10 minutes to understand everything. How it is responding, how to control it, how to rotate in 360 degrees, etc. Whenever you will use a new hoverboard, it takes 5-30 minutes to know everything about the hoverboard.
I have gone to my relative’s house which was about 5 miles away. During my 5 miles traveling, I found no problem with the hoverboard. I recharged it after this riding as the battery couldn’t support the 10 miles at a time. I didn’t try it on an off-road as it is not recommended for the hoverboard. But on flat ground, it was super to ride and control.

The Firefly hoverboard has given us new mobility in the hoverboard industry. It comes with a variety of features. Its 200-watt dual motor enables us to ride it 7Mph speed and we can cruise up to 6 miles with a single charge. Though the distance is quite reasonable for kids, I would like it if it is 8 to 10 miles.
The self-balancing scooter seamlessly remains connected with smartphone, so we don’t have to face the problem like FLYING-ANT hoverboard which need to be connected again and again. While listening to music with a Bluetooth speaker, you can monitor almost everything, including battery power, speed, range traveled, etc, from the smartphone app.
I am fully satisfied with its LED lights as they generate enough brightness. LED lights on the footpad and wheels provide extra advantages on dark nights. Oh, sorry forget to say, its built Bluetooth speaker looks like a premium quality speaker as the sound is super clear and noise-free. This 18.95 pounds hoverboard enables to carry up to 220 lbs rider. The speed and range vary depending on the user’s weight.
