Maximum Speed
Hoverboard go-karts can generally go as fast as the hoverboard motors will allow. In other words, if your hoverboard can reach a maximum speed of 8 miles per hour, then the go-kart should be able to reach the same maximum speed. This max speed can depend on external factors, however, such as the rider’s body weight, hoverboard size, and the terrain being crossed.
