- Owner's manual
Q: Is this water proof or resistant in case of rain or flooding on streets?
A: Right out of the owners manual: Do not operate the device if it has been exposed to water, moisture or any other liquids to prevent against electric shock, explosion and/or injury to yourself and damage to the device. It also states to store it in a dry location.
Q: How do you turn on the headlights and tail light
A: Push the on button twice
Q: How do you turn on the headlight? Is there a button? I can’t find it.
A: PRESS THE BUTTON 2 TIMES ONE THE TWO THEN IT SHOULD IF NOT DO IT QUICKER
Q: Rebadge of Xiaomi m365 scooter?
A: Seems like it, which is great since there are already a lot of maintenance videos on the Xiaomi, such as tire repairs. I'm not sure if Hover-1 cut corners on the inner tube, rim, or tire, but they WILL get flat, just a matter of time. Best suggestion is adding slime sealant to prevent and repair the tires. Changing them is a pain.
Q: How are you supposed to replace the wheels when they are worn out and where do I get them from?
A: Tires are available on Amazon. They sell a solid tire that doesn’t use air so you don't get a flat. To take the wheel off, there are plastic covers hiding the hardware that attaches the wheel. Remove the plastic covers to take the wheel off. I hope your scooter is a good one. I have had to return two of them because of defects.
Q: Is there a way to lock it up, so you can go into buildings and feel safe it wont be stolen?
A: Technically the handlebars are screwed on so a small enough U lock would be possible. You could also run something through the spokes on the rear tire. I wouldn’t recommend either though. Anyone with any motivation is going to be able to defeat those ideas with little to know trouble. Best Buy’s sells a smart u lock that is small enough to lock around the handle bar support tube and will notify your phone if anything is tampered with which might give you enough time to return before someone unscrewed to two screw and removed the handle bars. It does collapse very simply and nicely. If I have to go in somewhere I take it with and either set it behind a security desk or bring it along. It’s heavy, whisk sucks but easy to carry.
Q: Can this scooter go up a hill? Does it have enough power to do that?
A: The Hover-1 Journey struggles on hills, but if can get you up a mild grade one (~15 degrees or so). I'm 230 lbs and mine slows down to around 7-8 mph on hills; you'd probably do better if you're lighter. A couple of times when I was gunning the throttle all the way on a longer hill the engine cut out completely, and I had to wait 30 seconds before I could start it up again. I actually had the engine die on me again today on a completely flat bike path, but I was going along beside the river into some extremely strong head-winds. Long story short, the engine on this scooter works fine on flat ground but if you live in an area with a fair amount of hills I'd recommend something more powerful (and probably more expensive).
Q: Can a scooter be ridden if the battery dies?
A: Yes. You have to kick off like a regular scooter to make it work anyway.
