We love this scooter! We were looking for a fun and easy way to get around and cruise the park and neighborhood since my kids outgrew their manual scooters. After spending time in San Diego, where my son rented an electric scooter to roam around the beach, we thought that electric scooters would be worth a try. The Hover-1 Journey was a good option for us to try out. It was large enough for adults – up to 220 pounds. After picking it up at the store, we opened the box and discovered that it is super easy to figure out. The assembly was simple and the quick start guide helped us understand the controls and display pretty easily. There is a brake, power function, LCD Display, throttle, and a cute little bell. Your speed displays on the LCD along with the battery power. There is also a headlight to use for safety and in the dark. The manual did call out safety items such as wearing a helmet and avoiding steep hills. The standard charger was really easy to attach and charged pretty quickly. Outside it was easy to learn to ride and zippy. It is both fun and practical to use. You simply use the handheld control to bring the scooter up to speed and you can engage cruise control for longer distances. I could easily cruise down the street to the gas station and back without incident. The top speed of 15 mph is sufficient to feel the breeze. It is really fun to ride! My daughter wants to take one to college now, so looks like we need to get another. I also packed it up for a weekend trip, and it folded up perfectly in my crossover – easy to collapse and assemble – two steps! It is a fun item to cruise around on outside on nice spring and summer days. I would recommend this to anyone looking to put a little zip in their step!

This was my first scooter in 30 years. I’m a 40y/o dad and got this try and keep up with my daughter when she is wanting to use her scooter, skateboard, bike, running shoes or whatever. She’s 7 and I just can’t keep up with the fun stuff like I used to. After I bought this, I charged it up and took it for a test ride on my own and I can definitely say that within my first 5 seconds on it, I was definitely sold. It is so fun. It can keep up with my daughter just fine. At 15mph which a top speed for the Journey, the only thing we’ve tried that my daughter is faster than me is biking. She’s got a higher top speed, but can’t maintain it for long enough to completely lose sight of her. I’d thought 15mph was pretty lame, but on a scooter as an adult I have realized it’s pretty fast. I’ve crashed twice not paying attention and if I’m pretty sure adults shouldn’t be eating on scooters ever and if I had been going any faster then i’d have broke more than my pride. Neither crash so much as scratched my scooter. It’s extremely solid. Feels heavy duty and is definitely sized for an adult. The disc breaks and electronic brakes are very responsive. Everything about this performs as advertised except the distance and time you can travel per charge. It says 14 miles but that must be for my 7yr olds daughter that weighs 40 lbs. my fat butt is close to 200 lbs and lucky to get 5 miles, but it’s a really fun 5 miles. I ride this thing everyday now while my daughter travels on one of her things. The cruise control feature allows me to lock in at any speed she is traveling right down to 3mph which is what we did yesterday while she tried her first run at roller skates. I enjoy riding this thing so much that I ride it without her too. I’ve gone on nice bike trails by myself and it’s so nice to just cruise so smoothly, passing bikers here and there, and enjoy a ride. It’s virtually silent which is very peaceful and doesn’t make you stand out. I even run nearby errands on it when I don’t need to. Just rolling around like a creep with a beard on a scooter. Can’t help almost feeling like a hipster. My gf makes fun of me but it’s enough fun to not care. I highly recommend this thing. I’m 6 weeks in now and feel confident that I’ll continue to enjoy it.

The scooter is durable and solid my whole family has one. Bought it for one kid liked it so much bought it for the family. It is a little heavy so not appropriate for really young kids. I like the flashlight feature the fact that you can see where the battery is it doesn't take long to charge it's not hard to put together.
