Why does a hoverboard last longer on a single charge than an electric skateboard?

A hoverboard typically lasts longer on a single charge compared to an electric Skateboard due to several factors. Firstly, hoverboards typically have smaller motors and batteries compared to electric skateboards. This means they require less power and can use their energy more efficiently. Secondly, hoverboards often have less rolling resistance compared to electric skateboards. They are typically equipped with small wheels and have a lower weight, enabling them to glide more easily and require less energy to maintain speed. Lastly, the riding style and terrain can impact the battery life of both devices. Electric skateboards are often used for more aggressive riding, including uphill climbs and fast acceleration, which can drain the battery more quickly. Hoverboards, on the other hand, are designed for smoother rides on flat surfaces, requiring less energy to propel them forward. It is important to note that individual models and brands of hoverboards and electric skateboards may vary in terms of battery capacity and efficiency. Therefore, it is always advisable to check the specifications provided by the manufacturer to determine the expected battery life for a specific device.
