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.
STREETBOOSTER
Pros
- Pneumatic tyres with regen and disc brakes and an IP54 rating for wet and dusty roads
- A spare parts shop keeps consumables close to the seller that built the scooter
- Support by phone, email and help centre, plus finance and refurbished stock listed
Cons
- Road legal in Germany only, which leaves riders in other European markets out
- Return shipping of €30 to €199 falls on the buyer and cuts into the low entry price
- A maximum rider weight of 106 kg is limited for heavy riders or bulky cargo
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.
STREETBOOSTER
Who it suits
- German commuters on a short daily hop who want a road-legal scooter from €349
- Riders who want a spare parts shop behind the purchase for tyre and brake work
- Shoppers who can cover €30 to €199 in return shipping if a model does not suit
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders outside Germany, where the models are not listed as road legal
- Anyone unwilling to pay €30 to €199 in return shipping
- Riders heavier than 106 kg

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.
STREETBOOSTER
How much does a STREETBOOSTER e-scooter cost?+
Entry sits at €349 for the Vega. That entry figure covers the range the brand sells, so a rider can start at the bottom of the line-up without leaving this seller.
What range can I expect from a STREETBOOSTER scooter?+
The claimed range is 42 km from a 346 Wh battery. That is the maker's figure, and real distance will vary with hills, rider weight and tyre pressure. On flat town roads it should cover a return trip between home and work.
