Hover-1 - Highlander Foldable Electric Scooter w/9 mi Max Operating Range & 15 mph Max Speed - Black

The Hoover1 e-scooter isnt the fastest or longest range in miles. Its has a 9 mile radius and has 3 speed options max out at 16mph! It's great for local neighborhood tasks or get to near destinatios like the bus stop or if you need to meet up wit someone within a few minutes flat! I needed something low costing and worthy of a brand to be satisfied for a Black Friday deal and the HOVER-1 was suitable enough! Plus it has a Bluetooth speaker embedded in it for music or sound as i roll on wit ease! Its just not for heavyset people over 320lbs! I love that the handle bars are detachable for easy, quick and the bar coloum folds for convenience! All othe e-scooters were $450+!!! The baterry doesn't last long and DONT ride in RAIN but i like it as is!!! A O-K purchase!!!

To begin this review, I will say that without a doubt, this is a great scooter for the price and under proper usage cases it is bound to give its users tons of enjoyment and possibly even operate as a decent source of transportation. This scooter has its flaws, but these in general are overcome by its many excellent features. This scooter would seem to be best suited for young adults or adolescents and for lighter riders despite its claim of 264Ibs weight capacity. With that in mind, let’s go into the main review. To start with, the setup of this scooter. It came in the box with plenty of foam and plastic protection and with a thorough instruction booklet and some attached instructional leaflets. The only assembly that was required was screwing the handles into the handlebar attachment. This came as my first disappointment though, as I found both the threads of the handles and the slots in the handlebars were oxidized with rust. This made screwing the handles in a bit sticky and a tougher process than necessary. They definitely need to give these assembly points a better coating during assembly. It also makes me uneasy as I now wonder what other areas in the scooter might be oxidized or prone to it. My solution for now was to apply a light coating of bearing grease to the threads to help mitigate the spread of rust and ingress of moisture. Aside from this hang up, the rest of the assembly was easy and I had this thing fully charged within a few hours (up to 3 hours is the charge time per the instructions) and ready to go. This scooter turns on and has three speed modes: a sport mode represented by a solid encircled “S” symbol on the display with 15mph top speed, a normal mode represented by a flashing encircled “S” symbol with 11mph top speed, and the absence of a symbol in the portion of the display for eco mode, which has a top speed of 7mph. The scooter must be kicked forward to start, meaning you have to be going at least 1.8mph to be able to engage the 250W motor and take off. As a 200Ibs full grown adult, I found this scooter to be a comfortable fit. The handlebars are up high and are wide enough to encourage good balance and a good grip. Additionally, the deck of the scooter is nice and wide and is covered with skateboard-like grip tape for good traction. I found this scooter much easier to balance on and ride then my Unagi E350, which requires a bit more mental engagement to stay balanced as a shorter, narrower scooter. The max weight this scooter claims to support is 264Ibs which is pretty exceptional, but I am doubtful as to how well this slightly anemic 250W motor could propel a heavier individual than me along. This scooter is quite slow to accelerate at my 200Ibs weight, and this scooter is definitely not meant to propel heavier individuals up hills of any significant incline. I tried using the motor up some steeper driveways in my neighborhood and the motor flat out failed to keep the momentum going. As such, I would say this scooter is probably suited to smaller individuals or adolescents on flatter terrain. Best Buy has this categorized under “kids scooters” and I would say that is fair, but smaller adults and juveniles can still get a kick out of this. Just note, the 9-mile range is, in my experience, based on using the eco mode and lighter riders. I found the battery went from 5 to 2 bars only after 4 miles or so of riding at full 15mph speed on flat, suburban paved terrain at my weight. The folding of this scooter while not the most elegant on the market is highly functional and makes this thing easy to carry around. At 36Ibs, the scooter feels manageable and can be lifted into a trunk of a car of hiked up some apartment stairs with reasonable ease. The ride of the scooter is decent enough considering it is utilizing 6.5” solid tires with no suspension. My complaint here is that this thing sounds like a rattle trap on bumpy pavement and asphalt and while this may not bother a younger person too much, it is a little embarrassing and too attention grabbing at times as an adult. The headlight of the scooter serves to signal your presence to drivers at night but does not shine far enough or bright enough to provide truly excellent visibility in true darkness when riding fast. The electric brake is actually fantastic and brings this scooter from full 15mph speed to a stop within a reasonable distance. There is a traditional mechanical brake on the rear of the scooter as well for extra assurance of safety. There is no built-in horn or bell, so an attachment will be necessary for this. The Bluetooth speaker on this scooter is located on the bottom of the deck of the scooter and is as intuitive to pair with as any normal Bluetooth speaker and actually has surprisingly good volume and audio clarity. I am not ashamed to admit that I got absurd enjoyment out of blasting my tunes while going 15mph down the road. Altogether, I would recommend this scooter probably to kids 12 years and older, with a disclaimer that adults can use it but it may not provide as comfortable or quick a ride as some of the higher-end options out there. For the price though, going back to myself as a teenager, this scooter would have been a joy and definitely would have gotten me to school quicker on some of those mornings I was late, haha. Altogether, I can recommend this scooter, just be aware of some of the limitations I have shared. Thanks for reading and hope this review has helped you!

The best.scooter for 15 mph for a young teen or 10 yr old.

Excellent. I bought for my wife as a joke and now she’s obsessed with it. Rides it to the fruit stand in the morning. Really does 15 mph that is pretty quick and we’ve rode it together to test the weight and it handle over 300 lbs fine.

Was really nice quality i would definitely buy it agin one of the best Christmas gitfs ever

So great i bought a second one. Cheapest that goes 15mph all day. Music is loud headlight bright. And it weight isnt much. Wish it had rear brake light. Wish fold setup was better design in back. but it works just got loose. Not really for kids.

Good condition, no damages, works like a charm, thank you

Nice scooter. Battery goes down very fast less than an hour and you’re done. Back tire is already shredding and coming apart. I’ve had it for about a month. Good but not great. I do like the Bluetooth speaker.
