It would be unrealistic to expect speeds of 30-40 mph from a hoverboard. They are, after all, designed for leisure and not as an actual mode of transportation. Any board that offers a maximum speed of anything 7 mph is a great choice. Here on the list, you’ll find hoverboards offering maximum speeds of up to 12.5 mph which may seem slow on paper, but is a decent enough speed when it comes to actually ride the hoverboard.
