Company sent incorrect Hoverboard attachment. They refuse to send out the correct attachment until the wrong one is returned. We will not send anything back until we receive what we ordered.Initial Complaint

I ordered a hovercart May 1st for my granddaughters bday. I received with missing parts for the cart and the hoverboard did not work after being charged. It's impossible to reach the company by phone and takes them several days to reply to emails if they reply at all. They sent me the missing parts, but made me send back original hoverboard before they would send me another one. The defective hoverboard was delivered to them on May 28th. I was supposed to receive a new one within 2 days, it is now June 12 and I still do not have another one. Each time they email me back I get the run around. They claim they shipped it, but there is still no tracking info. And myself and my granddaughter are very upset.Initial Complaint

We purchased a hoverboard and go-cart kit from hoverboard.com. The sensor went out and we sent it under the warranty. They have not sent a board back. They gave me a tracking number but the shipment was never sent. They will not take phone calls and are not responding to emails. I have tried several times and do not get a response. It was been a month since the tracking label was created.Initial Complaint

purchased a hoverboard from the business on 11/27/2023. It was shipped in a timely manner. We set it aside for a christmas present.fast forward to christmas eve, 12/24/23, my husband took it out of the box to get ready to give my son. we noticed a sound in the hoverboard like a piece was broken. But it worked. . . For a little bit. In the coming days, my son would ride it, and one side would stop working, and a continuous beep would sound. I reached out to Hoverboards.com via email, the only way to reach them, on December 30th. They responded on January 1st, and asked if i calibrated the hoverboard.On January 4th I responded I had tried to calibrate it several times, and each time the hoverboard would work for a bit then one side would stop working. After a couple days, one side completely stopped working.They responded the same day and send me a *** label to send the hoverboard back. I packed it up in the original box, and dropped it off at a *** store on January 7th. I have sent several emails, on Jan 9th, 10th, and the 12th, with no response to when my new hoverboard will be shipped. I even sent the *** receipt.Initial Complaint

We ordered a hoverboard for son for Christmas. We decided to go big an order a good one that is suppose to last ***** miles on the battery and go up to 10mph. It is their all terrain X8 model. We spent $251. The hoverboard they sent us was a discontinued Z5 model. This model only goes 6 mph and 3-5 miles on the battery life with a weaker motor. The Z6 model they sell goes for $100 less than the X8 so this would be even less. I contacted them several times to dispute this. They said we got the right model but I sent them pictures and everything showing they sent a Z5 not an X8. They said they use the case and add the right wheels but according to their website the X8 has a different motor and battery so this is not right. I even asked for the price difference back. Now they wont respond so we are stuck with an old model that doesnt not give us what we paid for and we cant get them to respond for our money difference back or get them to sent the right product. This is not the model we wanted. We just want this resolved. Ive uploaded the receipt for your purchase and the patent sticker on the board and manual for what we received as well as pics of the spec differences.Initial Complaint

I was given a delivery date of December 16, 2023, based on tracking information with **** After tracking through **** I saw my order was returned to sender. I have tried to contact the company through Live Chat and the form offered on the Hoverboards.com website.

Original purchase was made 8/13/2023 for a total amount of $283.49. Order #******. Based on the website this looked like the official Hoverboard site, but I think the catch is this is Hoverboards with an "s". My 11 year old purchased this with his own money. When we finally received the Hoverboard the left light never work and the left motor started having issues only after using less than 5 days. They did respond the next day,9/9/23 and said they would send a new motor. On 9/10/23, they said they would ship a new motor. I had to follow-up on 9/16/23 as I never received a new tracking number, on 9/18/23 they responded saying it was just reshipped. On 9/26/23, we let them know the new motor didn't work. They didn't respond until 9/28/23. Finally on 10/3/23, they responded again and told me to send the entire board back and the new motor. Their exact wording was: "Please send back to address below and we will resolve or replace unit within 2 business days under our warranty at no cost." I had confirmation that the Hoverboard was received at their facility on 10/12/23 (I paid $60 in shipping). I had to again follow up for a status. They responded on 10/19/23 that I would receive an updated *** tracking number. On 10/27/23, I followed up again as I still did not have a tracking number. On 10/28/23, I received an update along with tracking number, but the tracking number always showed label created and nothing else (in fact that is what it still shows). I followed up again on 11/6/23, they responded on 11/13/23, saying they would check with their warranty department. I followed up again on 11/14/23 and 11/28/23 and again on 12/15/23. So, I haven't heard another word from the company since 11/13/23. My son is devastated as he has not received the Hoverboard and this was his money he spent.Initial Complaint

I recently ordered hoverboards and realized that this company is a little sketchy from reading all the reviews. I decided i wanted to cancel my order and get my money back. They canceled my order but didn't give me my money back.
