The Pint model has a 6-8 mile range and will go 16mph. Named after its single wheel, the Onewheel essentially works the same way as a more traditional hoverboard, by having you lean forward and back to travel in that direction. If you're one for taking things to the extreme and want to use a hoverboard for some serious sport, you should consider the Onewheel. All in all, the Segway miniPRO is a terrific hoverboard for its price. You're also able to protect the miniPRO with an alarm that alerts your phone if someone tries to move the board. With the mobile app you're able to adjust light colors, change safety features, check vehicle diagnostics, and remotely control the miniPRO to move on its own. The ride quality is quite nice and steering with your legs/knees is more convenient overall, after a tiny learning curve.īesides the beefier and slightly larger unit compared to other hoverboards, the connected app experience is a big reason to consider the Segway miniPRO.

It has a 10mph top speed and 12.5-mile range with a 15-degree climbing angle - one of its very few negatives. That extra money gets you bigger (10.5-inch) air-filled tires which help it handle a greater variety of roads and obstacles.

The Segway miniPRO has come down in price since its original debut but still costs more than the T1 above. Segway is finally living out its dream of being a mainstream people mover with its miniPRO, the hoverboard version of its iconic mall-cop ride.
