Self-balancing scooters, more commonly referred to as “hoverboards,” are now very popular. These stylish, trendy, and futuristic scooters are very fun and convenient to ride. Instead of walking from one place to another, you can just glide on a hoverboard, which is faster and less tiring. Hoverboards were first popularized by celebrities, and have quickly become widely popular in the urban life. If you are currently looking for a nice hoverboard, there is a huge chance that you have heard about Swagtron T1 and Swagtron T3. Both are very popular hoverboard models. However, Swagtron T3 is slightly more expensive than Swagtron T1. So, which model should you choose?
Design
For sure, both models have been made to be as rugged as possible. Both models have passed through all electrical safety tests excellently. Their battery compartments are well protected; the batteries are protected against impacts, overheating, overcharging, overcurrent, and short-circuiting. As a matter of fact, the Sentry Shield Battery system has passed a 10-ton crush test. This shows that even if the hoverboard is broken, there is almost no chance of the battery leaking. By the way, both Swagtron T1 and Swagtron T3 have durable, incombustible frames, too. The difference is that Swagtron T1 comes with a standard body whereas Swagtron T3 comes with a sports body. Swagtron T1 is good-looking, but Swagtron T3 is indeed more stylish. Both models are equipped with LED headlights to allow safe navigation at night. Swagtron T3 has an integrated carrying strap for easy portability.
Performance
In terms of performance, these two models are identical. Both are able to accelerate up to 8 MPH speed. Both have similar battery life; they can go up to 11 miles away. In the case of running out of power, these hoverboards have the safety stop feature, which slows down the board instead of sudden stopping. That’s safe and convenient.
Features
What differs Swagtron T3 the most from Swagtron T1 is the additional features. Swagtron T3 is equipped with Bluetooth speakers, allowing you to play and jam some music from your mobile device as you go. It is also compatible with the SwagTron app, which tracks your route history and monitors the battery usage. You can also select the riding mode through the app with just a quick tap of your finger.
Conclusion
Swagtron T3 is a great choice because of the integrated carrying strap and built-in speakers. However, if you don’t think that these features are necessary, then you can choose Swagtron T1 instead, which already has a similar performance like the pricier model.
