Welcome to the pages of the blog
iCover ! In the fall, we were told
how to choose an interesting electric scooter to ride far, move fast, and not be charged for long. Spring has come, and that means it's time to update our selection and help geeks with a choice of an available hoverboard (sometimes they are also called gyroboards or mini-segways).
Surprisingly, in the previous compilation the fourth-placed hoverboard, in practice, confidently competed with the leaders of the fall - the mono-wheels. First of all it is connected with ease of use, because learning to ride them is very easy. Secondly, thanks to its own
Novelty brand, the iCover
range of available hoverboards has grown significantly, and their value has remained affordable. It would not be superfluous to add that they were brought to Russia fully officially and our warranty obligations fully apply to them.

')
So, for starters, we selected a few good (and affordable!) Copies from our catalog, and then put down their points (from 1 to 5). We changed the comparison criteria for this type of electric transport - points were set for the weight of the hoverboard (the easier it is, the higher the score, because a heavy scooter is more difficult to transport if you can defuse it on the road), for the total power of the engines (the higher - the higher the score ) and for the maximum permissible load (the higher - the higher the score). In a separate, bonus category, we added the presence or absence of "special chips" for each model (such as built-in bluetooth speakers, LED-lights, control sticks, etc.) - by the fact of the presence of distinctive features we added 1 for them score
Points: | For net weight | For the power of motors | For maximum load | Total score (with bonus) |
Novelty Electronics L1 | four | five | four | 13 |
Novelty Electronics L1-A | 3 | five | four | 13 |
Novelty Electronics L1-B | 2 | five | four | 12 |
Novelty Electronics L1-C | five | four | 2 | 12 |
Novelty Electronics L1-E | four | five | five | 15 |
Novelty Electronics L1-F | 3 | five | five | 14 |
Novelty Electronics F1 | 2 | five | five | 13 |
Then we built a scatter chart showing the ratio of the final score to the current value - there were no special surprises and the “magnificent seven” of hoverboard looked like this:
Seventh place:
The largest (first of all, due to the long handle and increased platform) and the heaviest
Novelty Electronics F1 hoverboard was also the most expensive in our selection. Even the bonus point did not change the situation - for the complete control keychain. Of course, the pen helps those who first become on the hoverboard, because for the beginning and for the end of the movement, the minimum skill is necessary. In fact, this is a compromise option - in case you are not ready for experiments with a sense of personal balance. In all other cases, it is worth thinking about more affordable, but relatively slightly less sustainable alternatives.

Sixth place:
In the penultimate place is a
Novelty Electronics L1-B gyroscooter with large 10 "wheels that will travel
even through boiling lava through possible obstacles with a slightly higher probability than its counterparts with smaller wheels. You need to understand that, despite different wheel size variations, overcome by high curbs (or curbs in St. Petersburg), mountain slopes or sand dunes are vain hopes. Increased clearance will allow you to climb hills with an angle of just over 15 degrees and provide greater maneuverability. olnitelny bonus - big wheels look impressive, it is important to maintain the 'wow' effect when moving pedestrians.

- Travel distance: 20 km;
- Charging time: 3 hours;
- Load: 120 kg;
- Maximum speed: 10 km / h;
- Wheel size: 10 inches;

- Charging voltage: AC 110 V - 240 V, 50-60 kHz;
- Battery power: 158 Wh;
- Voltage: 36 V / 4.4 Ah lithium battery.
Fifth place:
If the hoverboard from the seventh place is trying to resemble a car with an individual key fob, then the
Novelty Electronics L1-F model tries to bribe with an obstacle recognition system as well. It should be noted that this, in itself, is a good idea - but the integrated photoelectric sensor is still a long way from the lidars in self-driving cars. The wheels of this model are quite large, and the sturdy construction is able to withstand a maximum weight of up to 150 kg.
- Weight: 12 kg;
- Travel distance: 20 km;
- Charging time: from 3 to 5 hours;
- Load: 150 kg;

- Charging voltage: AC 110 V - 240 V, 50-60 kHz;
- Battery power: 158 Wh;
- Voltage: 36 V / 4.4 Ah lithium battery.
Fourth place:
Novelty Electronics L1-E is equipped with built-in speakers that can play music from your smartphone using Bluetooth. Sound accompaniment can increase your visibility - this is important at the training stage and during the first movement in a crowd. The ability to play music may be relevant during public events or promotions when it is necessary to attract the attention of visitors. In the end, one day a hoverboard can replace a Bluetooth column and “save the party” :) The main thing is not to abuse or impose your own soundtrack on everyone who is near your vehicle. Due to the small size of the wheels, this model is lighter than the previous - only 11 kilograms. Another non-obvious difference is that this model responds more precisely to control, thanks to an improved design.

- Weight: 11 kg;
- Travel distance: 20 km;
- Charging time: from 3 to 5 hours;
- Load: 150 kg;
- Maximum speed: 10 km / h;

- Battery power: 158 Wh;
- Voltage: 36 V / 4.4 Ah lithium battery.
Third place:
In third place,
Novelty Electronics L1-A is an affordable model with a futuristic design and balanced features. A distinctive feature is the LEDs above the wheel arches, optionally glowing in motion. Let's face it - this is definitely not a daily demanded function, however, when moving at dusk, this is another means of enhancing your safety. The main thing is to choose such a route, where there is no need not to attract too much attention to yourself in the dark, but this remark applies to any hoverboard or personal electric transport.
- Weight: 12 kg;
- Travel distance: 20 km;
- Charging time: from 3 to 5 hours;
- Load: 120 kg;
- Maximum speed: 10 km / h;

- Charging voltage: AC 110 V - 240 V, 50-60 kHz;
- Battery power: 158 Wh;
- Voltage: 36 V / 4.4 Ah lithium battery.
Second place:
In second place is the “children's” hoverboard
Novelty Electronics L1-C . The first thing you need to remember - do not try to ride on the children's model on their own to show "how to do." The maximum load here is 70 kilograms, and the wheel size is only 4.5 ". The device is designed for children and its design is appropriate - the rubber surface for the feet is decorated with figures of cute bears, the relief pattern is also applied on the rims. The motor power is reduced to 300W here, the maximum the trip distance is half the “adult model", but there is an advantage - you can charge the gadget in one hour and it weighs only 5 kilograms. What else can I add? They are available in bright colors and this is a great gift for a child, the motive ruyuschy spend more time outdoors.
- Weight: 5 kg;
- Travel distance: 10 km;
- Charging time: 1 hour;
- Load: 70 kg;
- Maximum speed: 10 km / h;
- Wheel size: 4.5 inches;
- Motor power: 300W x 2;
- Charging voltage: AC110v-240v 50-60 Hz;
- Battery power: 158 Wh;
- Voltage: 36 V / 2.2 A * h lithium battery.
First place:
The winner in our selection was the conditionally “basic” model of
Novelty Electronics L1 . It is easy to see that almost all other models are its “variations”, with additional letter indices in the name. In fact, if you need an
affordable hoverboard - take Novelty Electronics L1: here the average weight of the scooter itself, a good maximum load and small wheels.

This model is well suited for indoor use, for a large office or warehouse - do not drive along the corridor on 10 "wheels, scaring away visitors. It is also suitable for driving around the city - and its cost (especially in comparison with more advanced hoverboards and segways) can be called affordable.

- Weight: 13 kg;
- Travel distance: 20 km;
- Charging time: from 3 to 5 hours;
- Load: 120 kg;
- Maximum speed: 10 km / h;
- Wheel size: 6.5 inches;
- Engine power: 350W x 2;
- Charging voltage: AC 110 V - 240 V, 50-60 kHz;
- Battery power: 158 Wh;
- Voltage: 36 V / 4.4 Ah lithium battery.
Of course, more advanced models such as the Novelty (for example, the four-wheel
Novelty L5 ) and other brands (for example,
Xiaomi Ninebot mini ) could get into this selection, but with a cost approaching 40 thousand rubles, they can hardly be called affordable solutions. In the higher price segment, you can easily find hoverboards several times more expensive than
Novelty models.

The demand for gyroscoolers is constantly growing - you should not be afraid or shy about something new, because personal electric transport from wonders will turn into a routine. Do not miss the moment to bring the future in your city with the available
