Where Did We Get Data?
We used the tool called Helium 10 to get real selling numbers from Amazon. This Chrome extension shows us:
- Search volumes
- Product monthly revenues
- And lots of other Amazon-specific data.
Helium 10 tool is built for professional Amazon sellers to help them do product research and find profitable product niches.
For us, electric vehicle enthusiasts, it’s just interesting to find out, which hoverboards are actually bought from Amazon the most.
Every brand tells us that they are the best and their products are the most popular but can we trust them? I don’t know but numbers never lie! Let’s see which hoverboards are most popular on Amazon!
Search Volumes Have Dropped Significantly
As you can see from the graph above, the search volume for the term “hoverboard” is decreasing. But the seasonality of the product is still there. The peak of the search volume is always before Christmas. Well, it’s not a surprise because such toys are in demand to fit into Santa’s gift bag.
However, up until Christmas of 2021, the interest in hoverboards was higher than the previous year. An enormous 1.5 million hoverboard searches were made. But before the Christmas of 2023, only 500,000 searches were made.
The last time I compiled this list (December 2022), the most popular hoverboard had sold over 40,000 pieces and it made a revenue of $6.5M during the previous 30 days. Let’s see how those numbers have changed over time.
