It's the safety innovation that transforms "be careful" into "go have fun!"

Honestly didnβt know what to expect. Thought it might be a bit of a gimmick, but my daughterβs obsessed. She named it 'Sparkle' and rides it all over the house like sheβs in a movie. Itβs actually pretty solid too β I thought sheβd wreck it within a week!

Itβs really well made. Weβve had other ride-ons before and they fall apart after a few months, but this one feels like itβll last. The only thing is itβs a bit big to store, but we just park it in the hallway. My kids ride it constantly, so Iβm not complaining.

We bought the unicorn one for our daughter and to be honest, I didnβt expect it to get this much use. She literally eats breakfast on it. It doesnβt even stay parked anymoreβit lives in our kitchen. The turning circle could be better, but she doesnβt care at all.

Didnβt take long to put together at all β maybe five minutes. My 4-year-old got the hang of it straight away. He calls it his βmagic ponyβ and even brushes its mane in the mornings. I wish it turned a bit tighter, but otherwise itβs been awesome.

First impression: expensive. Second impression: totally worth it. My kid hasnβt touched the iPad in three days which feels like a miracle. Itβs not loud, doesnβt need charging, and somehow tires him out before bedtime. Big win in my books.

frequently asked questions
Still have questions? Reach out to us at support@hoveroo.com.au weβre here to help!
Is this mechanical pony safe for my 3-year-old?
Yes! Every model includes a child-friendly hand brake that requires minimal pressure to activate, giving even young riders complete stopping control. The one-way wheel technology prevents backward rolling on slopes, while the low center of gravity minimizes tipping risk. All components meet Australian safety standards ASTM F963 and European EN-71 for complete peace of mind.
Will it scratch my hardwood or tile floors?
Not at all. Our ponies feature premium 70A durometer polyurethane wheels specifically engineered to protect all floor surfaces. This specialized material is significantly softer than the hard plastic wheels found on generic ride-ons. Parents consistently report zero scratches on hardwood, tile, or laminate floors even after months of daily riding.
Do I need to buy batteries or charge it?
No batteries or charging ever! Our mechanical pony operates on a precision-engineered system that converts bouncing into forward movement with 90% energy efficiency. This fully mechanical design means it's always ready for adventure without downtime. No batteries to replace, no charging cords to find, and no disappointing moments when the power runs out.
How difficult is it to assemble?
Assembly takes just 5 minutes with our single-bolt connection system. Simply attach the head to the body using the provided Allen key, and your child can be riding within minutes. In our customer satisfaction surveys, 93% of parents rated assembly as "extremely easy" and completed it without any assistance.
What's the warranty and support like?
We provide a full 12-month Australian warrantyβ12 times longer than many competitors' standard 30-day coverage. Our Australia-based customer service team is available to assist with any questions, and replacement parts ship within 24 hours if needed. With local support, you'll never deal with overseas call centers or language barriers.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes! Our mechanical ponies are designed for both indoor and outdoor use on flat, hard surfaces. The durable construction handles concrete, pavement, and deck surfaces with ease, while the sealed bearings stand up to Australian conditions. For optimal performance, we recommend smooth surfaces rather than grass or gravel.
Can my child control it easily?
Absolutely! Our user testing shows 85% of children aged 3-9 mastered riding independently within the first 5 minutes without any instruction. The responsive steering requires minimal force to turn, and the child-sized hand brake is positioned perfectly for small hands to reach, building confidence quickly with every ride.
What age/size is right for my child?
We offer two perfect sizes: Small (ages 3-5, under 110cm tall) and Medium (ages 4-9, between 100-135cm tall). The Medium size accommodates growth with its higher weight capacity (up to 80kg) and slightly larger dimensions. If your child is around age 4, consider their height and how long you want the pony to lastβmany parents size up for extended use.
The material and quality are good Can be used 7.6 cm 1 The back support is really cute, it supports my child on the back of the horse. It has great grip and the color is super cute. My kids love it.

Perfect ridable horse for 4-5 yo
This ridable horse was outstanding for our 5 year old grand daughter. It was well made with high quality material and finish. The rocking action moved the horse along wooden floors. Doesn't go on carpet. Just the right size. They had hours of enjoyment. No pinch points.
