About HoverboardRadix
Owning a hoverboard, electric scooter, or electric unicycle throws a surprising amount of arithmetic at you. How far will this pack actually take me before I’m pushing it home? How long is it going to sit on the charger tonight? What top speed does that motor and wheel really imply, once you cut through the marketing number? Is my battery aging normally, or has it lost more than it should for its age? Am I inside this board’s weight limit with a loaded backpack on? And is a speed quoted in mph over or under my local km/h limit? None of these are hard questions on their own — but working them out by hand, every time, is where the fun of a new ride turns into guesswork.
HoverboardRadix exists to take that arithmetic off your plate. Rather than long articles you have to read end to end, the site is built around a set of small, single-purpose calculators, each aimed at one real decision. The Range Calculatorturns a pack’s voltage and amp-hours into watt-hours, then estimates distance after scaling consumption for rider weight and terrain. The Charge Time Calculatorestimates a full charge from your battery’s capacity and the charger’s output current, allowing for real-world efficiency and the slow taper at the top. The Top Speed Estimator works out theoretical top speed from wheel diameter and motor RPM — or derives that RPM from the motor’s kV rating and pack voltage. The Battery Cycle Life Calculator estimates how many years a pack lasts before fading to about 80% of its original capacity, and roughly how much is left today. The Weight Capacity Checkercompares your weight against a board’s max-load rating and flags whether you have sensible headroom. And the Speed Converter moves a speed cleanly between km/h, mph, and m/s, and turns wheel RPM into road speed.
Beyond the calculators, the blog and learnsection cover range, charging, motor speed, and battery longevity in more depth, and the site’s museum is a separate, browsable collection you can wander through for a change of pace, with every entry, image, and fact drawn from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.
A few things worth stating plainly. HoverboardRadix is an independent site, not a retailer and not affiliated with any board, scooter, motor, or battery brand, nor with any safety-certification body it might mention. It is supported by advertising, which is how the tools stay free with no account required. Every result the tools produce — a range, a charge time, a top speed, a cycle-life estimate, a weight-capacity verdict, or a converted speed — is a general estimate built on the numbers you enter and on standard physics and common conventions, not a measurement of your specific device and not professional or safety-certification advice. Real range and speed vary with battery age, temperature, and terrain, so treat an output as a planning figure and always follow your manufacturer’s guidance and your local law. If something looks off in a tool or an article, or you think a calculator is missing that would help, the contact page is the place to say so.
