Pros and cons

iHoverboard

Pros

  • Price from £99.99 puts the brand at 5 of 52 on the site, so entry is priced at the sharp end.
  • Finance is available and the bike range tops out at £639.99, so the pricier frames can be spread rather than paid outright.
  • Support runs on email, phone and chat with servicing in-house, and a spare parts shop lets wear parts be ordered directly.

Cons

  • Suspension is absent on the scooter, so the ride suits smooth urban routes more than broken ones.
  • Belt drive is absent on the bike, so the drivetrain is the part that needs regular attention.
  • Battery capacity of 270 Wh ranks 16 of 20 brands on the site, well under 436.7 Wh.

iScooter

Pros

  • Suspension is fitted across the range, which takes the sting out of tram rails, cobbles and broken kerbs on a city route.
  • Folding is standard, so the scooter folds away for a train carriage, a flat or a small boot.
  • The battery is removable, so it can be charged indoors and carried separately rather than left on the frame.

Cons

  • Battery capacity ranks 19 of 20 on the site, so iScooter trails the brands carrying the biggest packs when you ride long distances between charges.
  • Shipping covers FR, DE and ES, which narrows where the scooter can be delivered and then ridden.
  • Battery cover runs 1 year against 2 years on the frame, so the pack is the shorter commitment.

Who each suits

iHoverboard

Who it suits

  • Commuters who want a kick scooter that folds and weighs 12 kg, so it can go on a train or under a desk.
  • Riders buying scooters and bikes from one seller, with commuter, folding and step through frames, finance and a spare parts shop under the same roof.
  • Readers who want an own-brand shop to put against iSinwheel and AOVO Official, weighing i9, i8, i9Max, i10Plus, iX5S against GT2 1200W, GT1 2026 800W, S10MAX 1000W, S9PRO 500W and AOVO T1 Pro, AOVO X9 Promax, AOVO X11, AOVO G2.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Riders after a belt drive or suspension, since both are absent from the parts of the range described.
  • Long-distance commuters, because 270 Wh sits well under 436.7 Wh for the site, so pack size is worth weighing against iSinwheel or AOVO Official first.
  • Buyers shopping outside GB, DE and FR, where neither the range nor the service network reaches.

iScooter

Who it suits

  • City commuters who want a folder with suspension and a number to call, in France, DE and ES.
  • Riders who want both a small folding scooter and a full e bike from one brand, with i8M, W6, W9Air, W12 to choose from.
  • Buyers who prefer purchasing direct from the brand, where the entry point is €159.99.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Riders chasing the longest range between charges: compare iSinwheel, listed as GT2 1200W, GT1 2026 800W, S10MAX 1000W, S9PRO 500W, since iScooter's pack ranks 19 of 20.
  • Shoppers outside FR, DE and ES, where iScooter's delivery list ends; HK BEIRUI TRADE CO. carries GT28, K10 and is worth checking for a different market.

Questions about each

iHoverboard

What does entry cost, and can the bigger bikes be financed?+

Entry is priced at £99.99, which places the brand at 5 of 52 brands on the site for price from. The bike side is wider, with commuter, folding and step-through frames (commuter, folding and step through) and prices topping out at £639.99. Finance is available, so a larger frame can be spread rather than paid in one sum.

How far does one charge go?+

The folding scooter carries 270 Wh and a 30 km claimed range, a headline figure rather than an independent check. Larger bikes take 468 Wh, so the extra capacity sits on the bike models rather than the scooter. At 12 kg, the scooter is a short-commute machine with a 100 kg load limit for errands.

iScooter

What does an iScooter cost to start with?+

Scooters and e bikes start at an entry price of €159.99 on the brand's own store, and the e bike collection reaches €1,299.99 at the top end. The lower figures belong to the small folding scooters, the higher ones to the e bikes. Finance is available, which softens the larger number.

Can I pay in instalments instead of all at once?+

Yes, the brand offers finance, so a scooter or an e bike can be split into payments rather than settled in one go. That helps most on the bike side, where the collection goes as high as €1,299.99, and it sits alongside the entry price of €159.99 for anything smaller. Read the terms before you commit.
