Hover-1 Alpha Foldable Electric Scooter with 450W Brushless Motor, 18 mph Max Speed, 10” Air-Filled Tires and 12 Mile Range

After looking at all of the reviews, I figured I would leave one seeing as I've had this scooter now for more than 3 years. I typically take it camping with me (we go on long camping trips) and ride it around parks and whatnot.I must say, this thing is great for the price. Tires are really nice (make sure they are inflated to get the best speed and stability), ride is pretty smooth, and the speed feels great. I haven't had any error messages or anything like that, so other reviewers that mention them must have just been unlucky.For the negative side, the handlebars wobble a little here and there and you need to adjust the bolts every now and then. Speed decreases some as the battery goes down and while I think the battery life is pretty good, it is not truly what the description says.Overall, I've really enjoyed this scooter and the folding feature is super quick and easy.

There are a whole host of problems with this scooter and the company that mean I cannot recommend this product to anyone. I had the Hover-1 Alpha scooter for about 3 weeks before I had several, terminal issues. That scooter wouldn't work if you touched the power button 2 times until it had been recharged. That scooter's lights and display wouldn't turn on while being drivable. It would get various errors that meant restarting the scooter. Since the scooter had so many fatal errors in under a month, I got it replaced. The second scooter comes and does even worse. It takes about a week of perfect conditions (no extreme temperatures, contact with any liquid, extreme weights, rough roads, or drops) to be riddled with errors. This E6 error would occur whenever the throttle had been held for over about 20 seconds. A 2 minute ride would give an average of 4 error messages resulting in restarting the scooter. It has now been a month of dealing with the faulty diagnostic and the rear tire has an air leak. The scooter has still had the same perfect conditions, and the tire was flat in the morning. The air valve is leaking, not the tire. It only takes a few minutes for the tire to be completely flat.All the while, Hover-1 support has been less than useless. Any contact I've made has resulted in a late response simply saying "contact the seller." It's a shame because this scooter performs quite well, but it cannot last even moderate usage. Just learn to skateboard or get a bike. The scooter is an awkward size and about 40 pounds, so it's not much more convenient than a bike.

I havent seen a lot of in depth reviews on this scooter, so i will give it a try.....First, ive researched them for a few months, to realize that i wont make a purchase and i just need to start somewhere!!!!! So, i started here, the price was crazy low ($295) and i really thought the specs were pretty good for this scooter. It originally was a $500 scooter, i got it for almost half, i was looking at Emove, Joyor, Isinwheel and Obarters, Which are Crazy Priced!!! Understandably, but i didnt wanna spend that money off the bat....what if i wasn't into it?? Well, i bought this and $314 shipped to my door, i figured its a great place to start.........im a few weeks in, and this thing is a Tank!!!!! Ok, im 255 pounds, so i'm a bigger dude, but this is SO MUCH fun!!!!! down some crazy hills, not often, but it took it like a champ!!!! Very tough construction!!!! i look forward to every time i get to ride this thing, so i guess i am into it!!! ive already ordered my next scooter, and probably wont stop there!! This Hover 1 alpha will get you excited!!! Unless you are a speed demon!!!! But at 18MPH at 255 pounds, thats not bad for $314!!! I strongly recommend this scooter for guys like me that just arent sure yet whether you wanna spend the big bucks! Another way i look at this is.....if it breaks down, im a machinist and not a moron when it comes to engineering some new ideas for something like this! So if you got that mind set or a few friends that can help in that area, just buy it for the crazy cheap price and just have fun!!!! You would think 18MPH isnt that big of a deal, but i cant wait to get back out there and do it again!!!! But it has been a blast and a complete monster in handling what i give it, so im not worried about its lasting power. Its providing fun right now!! So, Have fun and be safe!! Very fun ride, especially with the 10 inch air filled wheels!! you can find a lot of cheap scooters with solid wheels, that are great if you arent worried about ride quality. This has no suspension and rides rather nicely!! Anyway, thats my review. ive thoroughly enjoyed myself on this scooter, i think you probably will too!! If it says $295, go for it, thats the deal i got!! **Update(8-15-23), i wanted to add, mare sure your tires are full, otherwise you will not get top speed, i only got about 12mph first time out, when i filled the tires, 18mph, no problem, maybe get some green slime and solve the slow leak in the tires, enjoy!!

3-8-23 Update: I was able to ride a friend's and it was a blast, really optimistic about this one.. Well let's just say - here is the saga. One has a used/damaged handlebar, previously opened, screws showing usage, dead battery and would not charge - possible controller short based on my experience. Another - dead battery, control panel does not work and will not power on, cracks around led display cover by power button, another - handlebars show some usage and damage around the neck, the battery was at 1.4 vdc and would not charge, connector for handlebars was not seated correctly.I ordered 1, have a few in the garage and none work for various reasons. Can no longer get a replacement and not sure I would trust it would work actually. Should buy from a local store or a reputable brand with parts availability. With these failures - I have been looking into what is needed from a maintenance and repair perspective and many of the parts aren't available. Not good for a poor quality product IMO..3-1-23: I'm guessing the scooter I received had been ordered, parts swapped and returned. This has new parts but the handlebars are used. Doesn't power up or work.Kudos to Amazon for standing behind the purchase and sending a replacement. I'll update my review after receiving the replacement.
