Customers often highlight the Blackhawk Folding Scooter's impressive speed and long battery life, enabling extended commutes without range anxiety. Many appreciate the smooth ride quality and ease of use, while some experienced issues with the throttle and tire inflation. The scooter's hill-climbing capabilities also receive positive feedback.
This scooter will not disappoint. Great speed and distance. I have no problem going up a long steep hill. I’m a female, 5’10”, 160 and feel very comfortable riding. Handle bars feel sturdy. Great tires and breaking system. Cruise control is an awesome feature. It does have front light and rear tail light which are enough for someone to see you but not bright enough to really see at night. I definitely recommend. I have rented several different ones in Atlant and this supersedes them all.

Let me start by saying the management at the Culver City, CA location are great! They were sympathetic to my situation and allowed me to make an exchange for another scooter. Now to this TERRIBLE scooter. I was happy with this scooter for the first week. Commuting 8 miles/day to work was smooth at first. THEN the problems started. It began to disengage the cruise control randomly. Then the area where the scooter folds and locks started to wobble when I rode it. I noticed ALL the bolts and screws were loose where the folding part is. Keep in mind that this scooter comes almost fully assembled except for the handle bars. So I tightened them all and it fixed the problem... temporarily! A week later it was wobbly again and all the bolts were loose, AGAIN! Then the front wheel started to go out of alignment and I would have to turn it to line it back up with the handlebars. Then, after using it for a month, repairing 2 flat tires, and daily maintenance, I was riding it home when I crossed an intersection and the part where it folds and locks completely EXPLODED! The metal piece that locks the scooter neck in place flew off and, while in cruise control, the neck was down and the scooter was out of control. LUCKILY, when it exploded the street had a slight incline so it helped me stop. In the process I ruined my shoe stopping it and had to push the scooter the rest of the way home. If there was a car on the opposite side of the street I would most likely be DEAD! To make matters worse, I emailed Hover-1 to resolve the matter and a week later they responded stating, "We do not cover physical damage." Your product nearly kills me and you don't have the common decency to replace or refund me? They won't even answer their phones. DO NOT BUY THIS SCOOTER if you value your life! It is cheaply made and a very poor design. Luckily, I'm still alive, so I can warn others not to purchase this death trap!

Let me start by saying that the management at my local Best Buy was great, they get 5 stars. The scooter on the other hand get 1 star. I purchased this July 5th. In 1 month's time it was broken!

I brought it back to Best Buy and the manager was sympathetic to my situation and allowed me to exchange it for a different brand of scooter. DO NOT BUY THIS SCOOTER if you value your life! I exchanged it for the GOTRAX G4. It’s been great so far.
