If you’re currently looking for a hoverboard with a modern and contemporary look, you may end up choosing between Razor Hovertrax 2.0 and Swagtron T1. Both Razor Hovertrax 2.0 and Swagtron T1 are hoverboards that sport contemporary designs. Razor is a manufacturer of various lifestyle electric vehicles that has made a name of its own. Meanwhile, Swagtron is best known for their stylish hoverboard models, though they also make electric scooters. Below, we will see the differences and comparisons between Razor Hovertrax 2.0 and Swagtron T1.
Design
If we put the two hoverboard models side by side, we can immediately tell some differences. On Swagtron T1, the wheels appear more elegant, as the look is more industrial. The wheels of Razor Hovertrax 2.0 have this spiky circular drawing that makes it appear like a child’s toy. In addition, the tires of Swagtron T1 have slightly deeper sipes than the ones on Razor Hovertrax 2.0, though not by a significant margin. Still, the deeper sipes will contribute to better traction and performance on wet or slippery roads. (See also: Razor Hovertrax 2.0 vs 1.0)
Another significant difference is the head lights. While Razor Hovertrax 2.0 is coming with two head lights that are constructed from multiple smaller LED lights, Swagtron T1 has one-piece head lights. We must say that Razor Hovertrax 2.0 looks sportier, whereas Swagtron T1 appears more conventional. Nevertheless, both are UL 2272 certified, meaning that they both are very rugged, durable, and safe.
Features and Performance
Razor Hovertrax 2.0 is definitely good for kids and beginners who are not used to hoverboards yet. This is because Razor Hovertrax 2.0 has a lower top speed; it reaches its max speed at 6 miles per hour, lowering the risk of accidents. Plus, it also has the training mode, in which you can learn and master your hoverboard’s movements. On the other hand, Swagtron T1 has a top speed of slightly over 8 miles per hour. The higher speed can get you to your destination faster, but requires good control and skill if you don’t want to accidentally hit somebody. There is also a nice feature on Swagtron T1, the Safe Stop technology, which will slow down the hoverboard gradually if the battery is running low instead of stopping abruptly.
Conclusion
Razor Hovertrax 2.0 is more suitable for kids and beginners due to the lower speed and training mode. If you are ready for a faster ride, you can choose Swagtron T1.
