“Having read all the reviews after placing my order, I was slightly concerned, but board and cart has arrived. Very happy with the quality of the product and as of yet, no complaints. If there are any issues, I will give Segbo the benefit of the doubt to sort it before coming back to report here. So far, So good.”

“DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS COMPANY.... SERIOUSLY!!! I never write reviews and also never read reviews before I purchase from a company (stupid I know) but I need to advise others against our stress and upset buying from this mickey mouse company. Long story short, very short... Ordered back in September for a xmas present still havent received but with about 6 promises from Segbo over the last nearly 12 weeks that it will be here next week, then the next, then the next and with out fail... the next! Still not here! We've had to cancel the order now (which isn't going smoothly) and re order elsewhere. The only thing I can thanks this company for is that they have made us swear to god that we will read reviews in future for any purchases we make. People don't leave bad reviews because they are bored, they leave bad reviews to warn others. AVOID, or I can guarentee you'll be writing a bad review in a few weeks time”

“Thank-you Rax you are amazing and so is the Segway and hover Kart I bought for my granddaughter. When I asked her what she wanted for her birthday she showed me a picture of one well to be honest I had no idea what it was. I started to do loads of research, different companies, products, reviews but kept coming back to Segbo and then finally contacted them and chatted to Rax. Rax was truly amazing and explained all about them the different options, colours, styles, design ect. I then ordered a matching Hoverboard and Hoverkart for my grand daughter. Placing an order online is still a challenge for me as i still don't understand how this whole system works but luckily Rax stayed over the phone with me and guided me step by step (it did not look very difficult to be honest at that time) until i successfully placed the order. As soon as i placed the order i received a confirmation receipt in the email with my purchase details and amount of money i spent which is a reassurance that the order was placed and confirmed. It was easy to put together even for me as I am a wheelchair user! I was most impressed with how sturdy it was, that the colour matched perfectly, it was quick to charge fully and then when my granddaughter saw it the next day she was so happy and spent all weekend on it. If you are looking for a hoverboard and or a hoverkart I can highly recommend this company as their staff are fantastic, delivery was free everything was exactly how they said it would be and the price was very good so I now have a very very happy granddaughter. Thank you”

“So surprised to read the reviews below as my experience has been the opposite. I used Segbo to repair a faulty hoverboard I had bought for my daughter from another company who refused to mend it. The Segbo website was easy to use and clear. The return was handled quickly and efficiently and Customer Service kept me informed via email all the way through. It was returned to me securely in only a few days and the repair cost was very reasonable. It works brilliantly straight out of the box, far better than it ever did before. Really happy, thank you.”

“Please think twice before using this company. There are a lot of bad reviews on here and I foolishly ignored them. Ordered hoverboard, arrived and was faulty out of the box. Contacted to organise return and first encounter was to justify that I should not have to pay for return. Advised I wanted a new unit, not repair as it was unused, ended up waiting over a month to get same product back again. 15 minutes out of box broke again and was overheating to the point we were concerned it might blow up. Returned again asking for refund, waited over a month again only for them to refuse. Finally agreed but this was possibly my worst consumer experience ever! Steer clear.”

“Please find the time to read this if you are palnning to buy a from this company. Below is a review I wrote about 4 months ago and suprise suprise i still have't had my issue resolved. They don't answer your questions and have no customer care. Please don't every purchase anything from this company and go to a shop where you can have a grown up conversation. Firstly your luck to get 1 star as there no option to give you a minus, this is not a rant from an unstable customer, just a disappointed one. Well here goes. Purchased the hoverboard in December, but even though I could prove I had paid for it on my credit card, Segbo denied receiving the payment. I produced bank transaction, but still you denied it. After a week of phone calls and emails that would never replied to, I finally got somewhere when you admitted it was an error on your computer and I had in fact purchased the hoverboard. Wow thanks for telling me something I already knew. Fast forward 6 months and the hoverboard developer's some problems. I contact you and you ask me to send it back as the board is still under warranty, which cost me £17.99 by having to purchase your collection package. After I purchase the package you send me another email saying the chassis wasn't covered, even though i had to point out on my email "warranty cover which is on your website stats" “Our warranty covers all the electrical components and parts inside your hoverboard”, I even pasted the whole warranty statement in case you have misplaced it in your office. I have pointed out the section that mentions parts inside the hoverboard, if the chassis has split then it covered as it’s inside the hoverboard", not rocket science here guys. As usual to this email, I again had no reply. So hoverboard sent off, I them receive a message from DPD saying the hoverboard is coming back to me, yet no email to say what you fixed, and when the board arrived, there is a engineers check sheet in the box with absolutely no information regarding what repairs were done. To say this is the worst customer service I have ever received from a company I have purchased something from is an understatement. It's a real shame as my boy loves the hoverboard. Please don't every darken my door again with you products as I will definitely never purchase anything from your company again. p.s you still have my email address so it would be nice if you could tell me what you did to the hoverboard”

“Please take the time to read this post. We have had an absolutely awful experience with a company called segbo in which I purchased a hoverboard and cart from. Please take the time to share this post so that this does not happen to anyone ever again. This company needs shutting down! On 28th August I searched the internet to find a good company to buy a hover board and cart from. My son turned 7 in august and was desperate for one. He had asked family for money this year so that he could save up for this special gift. I found a company called segbo which came up first on the google search. It seemed to have a live chat (which doesn’t work), a phone number (which rarely goes through), a Facebook page and a twitter page as well as the website. All seemed legit at first glance. The problem started immediately after I purchase the item. One of the reasons I purchased it was because it said next day delivery. As soon as i purchased the item I received an email saying your free hover cart will arrive separately to the hover board within 2 weeks! I immediately emailed explaining that this wasn’t acceptable as I had purchased it because of the next day delivery. They emailed me back saying they were upgrading the cart and it would come with the board. Neither item arrived the next day. I emailed at the end of the day on 29th August asking where the items were, I never receive a response. The items finally arrived on 2nd September much later than advertised. My son was very excited to open his new present. My husband followed set up guidance and my son tested the item in our driveway. After a short while the hover board stopped working completely on one side. My son was very upset. I contacted segbo by email the very same day of delivery to inform them. At this point I was willing to accept a replacement because that is what my son wanted. To cut a very long story short I was initially ignored, then told I had to take a video of the fault and send it to them to access. I heard nothing . I contacted them again and they informed me they were emailing a dpd label to return with instructions on how to return which included sending photos and a video on how we packaged the item. We never receive the label or instruction email, I had to contact them again. They then email the label and I find I have to travel 3 miles to drop the hover board off! I receive an email from dpd on 25th sept saying my item was handed over to segbo. I wait for one week before I contact segbo again to find out when I was receiving a refund. I was informed they were assessing it to see if it warrants being fixed or not. I said I wanted a refund. I then got an email saying I need to wait 14 days for assessment, I wait nearly 3 weeks with no word. I emailed and receive no reply. I formally ask for a refund with no reply using the format on citezens advice . I manage to then get hold of “customer support” on the phone and attempt to plead my case and explain that they have made this extremely difficult for me to obtain a refund and that I was seriously concerned because I had since looked at there Facebook page and noted scathing reviews from customers in the exact situation as me. He explains to me that those people were disgruntled because they were angry they never received a refund because there item was scratched when it came back which means it could not be resold. I couldn’t believe my ears. The items are faulty and not fit for purpose. Weather of not here is a scratch on the item bares no relevance, plus the scratches on the reviews actually came from the cart attachment! This has nothing to do with my order as he claimed to have no details on my “assessment “ by assured me that I would receive an email within 24 hours. I informed them by email and on the phone of my sons health issues and thatbheybhad made this so very difficult for me at already stressful time. That was 7 days ago. I have emailed them them almost everyday since then to have finally received a reply today saying they will give me a partial refund because the board has a scratch on it! How we can scratch an item within 30 minutes of open it is beyond me and the fact that this item is not fit for purpose means nothing to them. They have informed me that the free cart that came with the purchase of the board needs to be returned before they will issue me a partial refund. The whole situation is ludicrous. I have no faith that I will receive any kind of refund if I send back the cart. Segbo have clearly been getting away with this for a long time. Everyone needs to stay away from these con artists. My son had lost all of his birthday money which he really doesn’t deserve. I really was devastated for my son last week with Christmas coming up and not being able to afford to simple go and buy another one. You can imagine as a parent you just want to see your children happy. I have even more reason to keep my son happy. My son has been battling a brain tumour since the age of 18 months old. In December, just before Christmas we were told it is likely the time has come to remove he tumour which obviously can have serious affects. As a family we vowed to give him the best year of his life and make lots of memories. It broke my heart to tell him was wasn’t able to get he hover board back. Since then last week my sister surprised my son and I with a new board from a reputable company to try and rectify the situation. While this an absolutely selfless act I am now wracked with guilt and want to be able to give my sister the money back. Can anyone advise me on how much further I can take this and by sharing far and wide. Please make this go as far as possible. Thank you for taking the time to read 😢”

“Looks a great piece of kit - until it breaks immediately and then being sent back twice and charged for doing so even though it’s not our fault. The go cart part is poor and doesn’t work. I have one sad little girl and no one should by this now as everyone says the same - dreadful shame”

“After doing a little research I decided to get a Segbo electric scooter for my son. The item was dispatched quickly, the actual product was not great in terms of quality, which was a real shame. We've had issues with the accelerator / break levers getting stuck (which can be dangerous), the light being very intermittent and the kickstand not being able to hold the scooter upright correctly. The scooter itself, feels well built and has the potential to be great (maybe we were just unlucky) but I couldn't in all honestly recommend this to anyone.”

“Avoid this company. This is worse experience we ever have by buying online. We bought Hoverboard in the beginning of August (4th) Hoverboard Worked for 20min. Sending back and paying 17.50 for that the following day. Received back in a four weeks, still not working. Raised complaint twice. They just ignored everything by saying :'' Our engineer is looking at the issue with your Hoverboard and your item will be returned soon. '' Never happened. Yesterday 9th October they contacted us by email saying our Hoverboard is ready to be dispatched... By that time we got our money back from our bank. This is the worst customer service. Shame on you!”
