offroadhoverboard.net/hoverboard-weight-limit-guide/ This hoverboard weight limit guide will give you a brief understanding of how much hoverboards can handle in terms of weight Generally speaking, there are three hoverboard sizes. 6.5 inches, 8.5 inches and 10 inches. The bigger the wheels, the higher the weight limit (most oftenly). 6.5-inch hoverboards can hold around 220 lbs. 8.5-inch hoverboards can hold around 265 lbs. 10-inch hoverboards can hold around 300 lbs. There are many exceptions to this, though. If you are a heavy person, there's options holding up to 420 lbs without it affecting the riding quality. For kids, it is important to know that most hoverboards won't activate below 44 lbs. If they weigh less, they won't be able to ride the hoverboard.
