Is it finally time to buy your kid (or yourself) a new electric selfbalancing scooter? Chances are you’ve looked at all of the best hoverboard choices out there and the Swagtron T1 Self Balancing Scooter kept showing up as a top pick. That’s why I had to spend some time with this hoverboard and see if it is as good as they say.

The Swagtron T1 has three riding modes, a 220 pound max rider weight limit, weighs 44 pounds and comes in a variety of colors. It also has a range of 7 to 12 miles. I spent some time testing this model recently and my review on the Swag personal transporter awaits below. While this isn’t the fastest hoverboard, it will be great to take anywhere you need.

Many consider this to be the beste hoverboard that Swagtron has produced.

Is the Swagtron T1 Worth It?

Swagtron T1 Self Balancing Scooter Review

A solid hoverboard for both young and older riders.

The Swagtron T1 is a very popular hoverboard for kids and adults. It is easy to use thanks to a training mode and is UL 2272 compliant so you know it is safe. This model also charges fast, which I loved. The top speed of 8 miles per hour is perfect for kids and still fast enough to be fun for adults. Swagtron makes fantastic scooters for kids. They make great geek toys for adults too in fact.

Pros:

  • 8 MPH speed
  • Range of 7-12 miles
  • Charging time is 1 hour

Cons:

  • No Bluetooth or GPS
  • No app
  • Body scratches easily

Swagtron T1 Build Quality And Design

The Swagtron T1 is a good looking hoverboard. It has style and flair. The ABS outer shell is durable and fire-resistant, so it will stand up to some abuse, but it does scratch easily. A SentriShield battery pack prevents overheating and this model also has a Safestop feature that lets you get off the device safely. It weighs 44 pounds, which may be heavy for some kids, but they are mostly going to be riding it anyway.

Charging Time

One of the best features of the Swagtron T1 is battery life and its fast charging. Just charge the lithium ion battery for an hour and you are ready for action. A full charge will give you 3 hours of run-time.

Performance

The Swagtron T1 is a decent and smooth ride. The 8 mile per hour maximum speed is perfect to keep kids safe while being fast enough to offer a fun ride for adults as well. I was impressed at how much thought Swagtron put into making this a great hoverboard for beginners. It is easy to ride.

It has 3 riding modes: A learning mode, a slow mode that beginners to practice and standard mode which offers top speed. The range of 7-12 miles is actually impressive when you consider the fast charge and top speed. The foot pad is nice and roomy.
