Halo Rover Review

When you step on the Rover, one of the first things that you'll notice is the power that this compact device offers. With the Rover, you have up to 800 watts of power at your disposal. This type of power lets riders tackle hills with ease, and you can even take it onto some rough terrain without much trouble at all.

Because riding a hoverboard can be a tricky endeavor for beginners, the Halo Rover features advanced ride-assist technology that will keep the board upright and stable even if you aren’t standing on the board. This means that stepping on and off the board is much easier and you can avoid any of those accidental falls while getting on the board.

The Halo Rover offers a super smooth ride over all sorts of terrain. While it works best on concrete sidewalks or pavement, it can go over some dirt and off-road type of environments without much issue thanks to the never-flat rubber tires.

To put it simply, the Halo Rover is built like a tank. This board has no issue rolling over bumpy asphalt and even some off-road environments on occasion. The entire construction of the Rover feels very solid, and it should be able to withstand some use and abuse over many miles. Compared to other cheaper models available, you'll definitely feel where the extra investment went as soon as you pick up the Rover.

Halo packed many intuitive features into the Rover that not only help with performance, but also add unique perks that you can’t find in other models in this category.

For starters, the Halo Rover features built-in Bluetooth speakers that are incredibly clear and can get extremely loud. You shouldn't have any problem blasting your music while you ride and hear it over the sound of cars while you're outside.

The best part is that once you park the Rover and decide to hang out for a while, you can continue to blast your music, making this not only a form of transportation, but also the ultimate portable stereo that you rides with you wherever you go.

The second most intuitive feature of the Rover is the companion mobile app. It is full of intuitive features that anyone will find useful. All you need to do is download the app, connect your smartphone via Bluetooth to the Halo Rover and you're good to go.

Within the mobile app, you can track the speed that you're traveling, map the distance that you've gone, and even check the battery life left in the Rover. This is upper handy, and the battery check feature is especially useful to prevent getting stranded from a dead battery.

You can also use the app to adjust the training modes and even power the Rover on and off. If you decide to purchase the Rover, you’ll definitely want to make sure you download the companion app.

Is this your first time using a hoverboard? The Rover is here to help! Built into the Rover are three training modes that will help you get used to the hoverboard without going full speed right at the start. This is a super great feature for people that are new to the hoverboard scene. Getting used to the riding experience can be a little challenging at first, but the three built-in training modes of the Halo Rover make the entire process easy and straightforward.

The three modes (Beginner, Normal, and Advanced) will help you learn how to ride the Rover at your own pace, starting at super slow speeds and then working your way up to full speed. This is perhaps the easiest way to get started using a hoverboard.

So, whether you're just starting out or have been around the block a time or two before, you should be able to customize the ride of the Halo Rover with these three training modes.

Safety is a top concern for Halo, which is why they only use Certified LG Firesafe batteries in each model. These batteries have built-in safety functions that will prevent overcharging and overheating, keeping both the board and the rider safe from any potentially devastating accidents.

While this should be a mandatory feature of all hoverboards, if you were to choose a cheaper hoverboard, they might not be able to promise this kind of safety protection which is why it is a vital feature of the Halo Rover.

Halo also went above and beyond to ensure that every single Rover sold is 100% safe. Each board goes through an extensive test and receives UL 2272 hoverboard and UL 2271 Battery safety certifications. When you purchase a Rover, you can rest assured that you can ride with peace of mind.

Another safety feature of the Halo Rover comes in the protections placed throughout the board. Most notably, you’ll find aluminum wings that protect the never-flat wheels if you ever crash. These wings help to break the fall and will ensure that your Rover stays functional and undamaged for years to come.
