Hover-1 Alpha Electric Scooter: Review & Set Up

[@amydelong7972]

Got this one a month ago. I'm a heavier gal and after a short learning period I have no problem with it. It does struggle a bit on long upslopes, but on level ground it gets at least 18mph. The brakes are a bit anemic. Don't expect to stop on a dime, and it is a hefty thing to manhandle on and off public transportation, but if you're around 270 lbs like me and want a solid deck and decent power in a beginner scooter..... well, I'm happy so far.

[@gustavocruz3837]

Sounds great! I'm thinking of buying this to commute for work. Do you think it's a good idea? Have you had any problems with flats? Thanks in advance!

[@amydelong7972]

@@gustavocruz3837 Currently my front tire is flat because I've ridden it on some very bumpy, broken up pavement, but, in the process of changing tubes. Be smarter than me. Be careful where you ride and put Slime in the tubes BEFORE you ride a lot.

Are they brushless ?

[@entvisual]

*Considering the* 451W Motor and I easily get 20 mph yeah it’s not bad scooter! Good stuff mate 🥇🥇👍🙌

[@michaelnelson7933]

Yeah I loved this scooter. It was fast and I rode it on the beach. Just those screws always came loose and my front clip broke separating the bottom and the handle to the scooter

loctite

@@coconutlarry what is loctite?

@@michaelnelson7933 google is your friend

[@michaelnelson7933]

@@coconutlarry well I used it and loctite defeats the point of folding the scooter. Also, I didn't like the way I had to find out the clip was bad. Unless you want to test ride stuff like that?

[@Lokielan]

Bug? you can bypass the kick start function, after putting it cruise control and braking to a complete stop. Momentarily, you can start the motor again without kick starting it.

[@superbjai76]

Great review! How's the scooter now? I'm thinking to get one

[@michaelnelson7933]

Thanks I appreciate it maybe I'll make another review of my current scooter. Yeah it was amazing beginner scooter lasted a year then sold. Now have segway ninebot max a little faster and more range. Double price 850

[@JAM-wt8xn]

Same

[@LuisRamirez-gq5qb]

Got mine for sale for the low

[@sundaesha5892]

I just bought a gotrax gxl v2. It claims 15.5mph but it's actually just 12-13mph max. Is your H1-alpha the actual speed or does it just claim 18.6mph? i'm considering purchasing an H1-alpha if the speed does claim to it's actual speed. (Thank you for your information on this video)

[@HiTechKing]

On the box it says it can go 18mph but I’m pretty sure it goes around 20 mph however the display can only display 18mph max. Also I appreciate your support.

[@Lucas-jl6rt]

He's right, i have one to and it goes really fast, like 20 mph and the cruise control is awesome

[@teeth6556]

Yep, 18 mph! (maybe a bit more)

[@michaelnelson7933]

Yeah, I never seen reply until now for some reason they are all right more like a 20 mph scooter

[@eminozdemir7543]

Tire and inner tube I can't able to find it anywhere any ideas please

[@bigdog12345696]

Did you ever review or look into the segway e22. I am comparing the two

[@michaelnelson7933]

Honestly I did a but it was just the price was the breaker for me. I bought a segway ninebit max only 850 its been lit 30 mph only weighs 50 PDS and 40 mile range. For professional I would dualtron about 1200 for mini

[@deadbush134]

How do I connect the scooter to the app?

[@motionwave420]

Took it for a stroll today but I just got it today. First ride immediately got a e2 when trying to hit a small hill. Hoping a charge will fix this error code. What is e2?

[@HotSizzleTV_]

Can you get bigger tires on this for offroad Can you get a spare battery pack for this

[@reemtv6963]

Is there a way I for the same scooter to go faster let me no.I’m trying to jailbreak the speed.I need no no I’m Careem thanks

[@JAM-wt8xn]

Amazing review, I'm thinking about getting this tomorrow at Best buy if we can, I'm so excited

[@michaelnelson7933]

Yeah, I hope you enjoy its a really solid offroad scooter. Great for dirt roads or beaches or any terrain cause of huge tires

I know this video is old, but they now have these for $198.00 on Amazon and on the Wal-mart site. For 200 plus free shipping, I can live with all the cons.

[@earth-friendlytreefarms4824]

Thank you for being honest.

[@beyaztcelebi5436]

I'm considering to getting one but I've seen some comments about this scooter and people says it's strugling with uphills, it looks like powerful then xiaomi and I need something powerful because where I live is a bit uphill but in this video ı can see that the scooter can handle it any suggestions about it? Should I get this one?

[@adolfomendez5439]

Mine is ok but only get 6 mile range instructions says no pansenger u for got to put the brakes plastic pad in on back.

[@HaywardHunnee]

How did you use the folding clip?

[@esmeraldacenteno5712]

I’m able to use it for about 45 minutes to 1 hours does that sound about right ?

[@Tru7blue]

I just got my scooter today. I can’t get it to go. I do the push at 3mph and try to go but all my data says. Is E4. ?????

[@greenwater4235]

Lots of issues with this scooter. On mine, the box says 18 miles distance with the 30 cell battery which is not close to true. The neck does not lock as it is not straight and the pump for the tires does not fit.... It is not the grass the battery is weak. Brakes are poor, headlight is blocked by the brake cable....

[@stevewarr33]

What wire do I need to remove the restriction

[@jaytcapinpin]

Thanks for the review, picked up one at Best buy. 1 month in and my rear tire tube went out. Would you know where I can purchase solid tire replacement. Finding it online has been a hunt. Thanks!

[@MarkDanger777]

Try get the green slime sealant thing, I heard it works. I'm thinking about getting one too but I heard air filled tires get flat easily

It's a fun scooter but the battery life sucks. Lasts 30 minutes at most and if it doesn't have full battery then on sport mode it goes maybe 16

[@dorothysmith8568]

It’s a terrible scooter. Very dangerous. Because the handle bars are loose the brakes stopped short and my grandson went flying on it. He flipped! Thank God he is ok. I have 2 sitting in my shed. One is locked bc of the brakes. I’m stuck with them. Don’t trust Hoover
